Then he was ostracized by the whole community, it was a huge deal. So, while the South Park episode wasn't necessarily done with racist intent, and the picture may be intended to point out unintentional racist humor, the combined effect here, posted with no explanation, has a lot of potential to offend and I was surprised to see it. What were you thinking? Poor call, Carolina, really. I'm white and I'm offended. Considering that a lot of people don't seem to know about the SP episode, I do think an explanation and/or apology is in order. Besides, even knowing about the episode, I'm still wondering why you would combine these two elements - what was the intention here?

However, it does have a point that racism runs rapid and unchecked at grocery stores: "Flesh" colored band-aids are peach not brown or black or yellow. Don't we all have flesh? "Nude" pantyhose is a light tan that looks best on fair skinned people. Can't we all be nude? "Nude" colored lipsticks and foundations (such as those in the Revlon line) are shades lighter than beige, which are designed for women with fair complexions, not dark skinned women. But can't we all be nude, no matter what color our skin is? Then why design a "nude" color for white people only?

I'm an African American who faithfully reads your blog everyday. Most of my friends who read this blog are black...I wouldn't be surprised if that's where your main fanbase was. So again, I ask, can you explain this to me? Are you racist? Are you just trying to get more people to read your blog? I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I can't help but want to punch you out. Carolina, Can you please explain this to me?
