I'm pretty sure they'll figure it out. Reasonable people understand that the meaning of symbols can vary across cultures. OTOH, Pepe has become a symbol of alt-right racists in our cullture so people who don't want to be mistaken for alt-right racists don't use it. Well, unless they're just ignorant.

That's right! When you get here you better give up your culture. Jhhnn said so. What else do they need to give up to live here?

You're speaking in hyperbole. I can show anyone I know a swastika and the first thing that comes to their mind will be Nazis.

Likewise, ask anyone paying attention in 2016 what they think people the frog is and you won't be surprised by the answer. I had never seen pepe before 2016.

So wiki got it so wrong, go ahead and edit all the alt-right stuff out

Typical retard - no retort, just mindless dribble.

You folks claim that because 4chan trolls inadvertently used Pepe in a "racist manner" that means it's now officially a hate symbol - and if you use it then you're a racist.

So is the A-Okay sign now a hate symbol? Is toilet paper a hate symbol? Where's the line in this irrational thinking of yours? Dipshit.

Why don't you take it up with the guy who invented the character.

It's great how he's posing as a champion of cultural diversity, huh?

I bet the violence caused by every hate group combined in America in a year doesn't equal the assaults and body count of one rough weekend in Chicago.

Translation: My racism is justified because I called out poverty related crimes committed by the race I think I'm better than.

This is from Southern Poverty Law Center - the same group that considers Pepe and a number of other internet memes to be "hate symbols" or something along those lines.

They are incompetent fools who have no clue what the fuck they are talking about.

I have zero respect for someone that can't even do enough research to understand internet memes. They are utterly clueless morons.

Translation: I don't like the people who expose the nudge-nudge wink-wink racism I practice by using symbolism and dog whistles. Therefore I will declare them to be stupid and declare myself the winner based on nothing by my declaration.

Pepe is not racist. It is a retarded liberal fantasy talking point to believe so.

I grew up around Hindu people. Guess my background was not as bland as yours.

Well then that is why. The bay area if CA is quite diverse. I think a good deal would be lost if we followed what Jhhnn wants and make them give up their culture because old fuddy-duddy white guys can't stop thinking of Nazis. That sounds more of a slight to you than I want, but, I can't think of any other way of saying it. So know that I say it that way.

You'll have to address it with millions of people, you're not the norm in the states.

The issue is when extremists use symbols, that's what sticks in people's minds.

Nowhere did I suggest such a thing. I'm pretty sure Hindus don't want to be mistaken for Nazis so they'll comport themselves accordingly. Just a guess.

We live in a country with a lot of heavily armed whackadoodles with Trump, the NRA & Fox personalities like diGenova frothing them up so of course some of them will lose it from time to time. It's inevitable. Think of it as the new normal.

The true meaning of Pepe & swastikas are obviously more important, at least to some.
