So, I posted a project with the Ugandan Knuckles (do u no de wae) meme in it just for a laugh, then someone (not saying his/her name, but I'm not mad at her/him) said that the ST thinks that the meme is racist.


Is the Ugandan Knuckles meme allowed here? I mean, it isn't inappropriate or anything.

Nope
ST ruled that it was “borderline racist”
I'll go find a quote for you

We just finished discussing it at the moderator meeting. The decision was to not permit it because it appears to be borderline racist.

No.
At least the meme's not still funny, so it's not too much of a shame that the Scratch Team doesn't allow it.

I'm pretty sure Ugandan isn't a race, so it couldn't be racist

In the eyes of the ST, it could be considered offensive to people living in Uganda.

Curse you, 60-second rule…

Although we are allowed to use the “Knuckles” figure for your Icon, Your just not allowed to use the meme

The meme is Actually racist to the Ugandan people so please Do not Use the meme
It is offensive

Yay My first post

It's actually not that offensive. People are complaining that the meme itself is racist, but the concept really isnt when you think about it.

If Ugandan Knuckles meme is racist them the Somebody a toucha-d my spaghet should be considered racist too. Both are exaggerated caricatures of nationalities.

I don't think that this debate should go in the questions about Scratch page…

True, but is the debate about whether or not it is racist a question about Scratch?

Agreed,if they said the accent or race is stupid or anything,that would be racist,but the Ugandan knuckles concept is just some overweight knuckles clones saying “do you know da wae” in a Ugandan accent,so it isn’t racist at all

If imitating accents is racist, then how come us Americans can talk in fake British accent without trouble?

Report those cases if you see them. on the website. Not sure why you're letting it slide.

I think this question is pretty much already answered, so I'll close the thread.
