Lol some cracker reported this meme as "any race joke is racist"
-
It's not racist if it's self deprecating.

You're the sole community mod. If I were you I'd do pole in the comments and remove it if enough people thought it was racist. Not saying you have to, but it would be wise to do so.
Edit: I'm brown and don't find it offensive. The point which I believe was pretty damn clear is that the person who made the post is the sole mod and there's an issue with power there (even if its a meaningless meme community on a tiny social platform).

Ah yes, why don't we just "pole the comments" about the meaning of any word we don't understand the definition of, and we can let the comment section right here be the sole arbiters of what a word means rather than let experts in the relevant field define what a word means. That's how language and research and science should work, via Lemmy comment section democracy.

Lmao this doesn't need a damn poll wtf

Not just the sole community mod, the instance admin no less. Personally, I laughed, but anyone who finds this offensive should probably set their expectations (and perhaps block list) accordingly.

As a token white dude, this is funny af.
I hereby give you a pass on behalf of my pale ass.

It also really is a thing though. I grew up on the East Coast and there's an obsession with some social circles and insisting they have a token Native American ancestor. And it's always Cherokee. It's absolutely ridiculous and should be mocked.

"Cherokee" is a common family legend in the South East, much like having Wyatt Earp's illegitimate child in the family tree in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
I was always taught that the claim of having a Cherokee princess in the family tree was often used to give nativism and white supremacy more credibility through self-Indigenization, which is what helped it spread and survive to the current day. And as others have pointed out, it was also used as a way to hide race mixing. It's likely that a lot of people aren't aware of this, and just think they're sharing a fun but if family trivia.
And, as I pointed out in another comment, the Cherokee Nation has no requirement for any percentage of native ancestry, so there are a lot of people in Oklahoma and the surrounding area who are more or less white, but are legit members of the Nation under it's bylaws. Which can add some confusion to the issue.

Oh fuck off, cracker. You can't be racist toward white people.

You absolutely can
