Do you know what recreational racism is? The term refers to prejudice placed in the middle of something that should be fun.
The subject gained great repercussions on social networks after a very serious situation involving an illustrator.
It all started when Rafaella Tumaillustrator of BBB23shared a “meme” that showed the conversation between her friends.
“Friend, I’m suffering because of a boy.”, said the first. The second replied: “Send a photo, let me see the boy.”. In the image, a black man appeared, squatting, shirtless, wearing a cap and sunglasses, smoking in front of a brick wall. “Why are you suffering? Did he steal from you?”answered one of the friends.
When publishing the content, she was accused of recreational racism on social networks.
Recreational racism consists of a type of prejudice that is disguised as “humor” and associates a person’s characteristic with something inferior.
Upon seeing the repercussions of the case, the illustrator, who has a fixed frame on the reality show, deleted the post and apologized.
