Tracy Chou: white guy next to me has a tattoo of the chinese character for white (白) on his arm do we think - he thinks it says something inspirational? - he thinks being white is inspirational? - he got trolled by his tattoo artist?

maybe he was just tagged and released back into the wild

Literally LOL. Well played.

🤣🤣

There are many possible layers it would seem.

"I asked for birthday cake"

I'd love it to be the case that this is a highly self-aware joke, but...

I mean, I have the kanji "shi" tattooed on my old white-ass right hip ironically, so *maybe*...?

I like number three, but any are possible. You should have asked!

2 out of the 3

4. He knows exactly what it says because he asked for it. He can bullshit people *and* do the easter egg. 5. He wanted a picture of a birthday cake and this is what he wound up with.

I once saw a Korean of my acquaintance look at a tattoo a girl got on her neck and say “Isn’t that the number three at the Peking Palace?”

I'm just wondering if the tattoo artist did nazi what was happening, or was on-board with it.

Honestly I feel like he got ‘white’ tattoo’d on him for the meme and it was none of these options

Not A or B. White nationalist wanting Chinese characters doesn't really track imo.

"I'm hoping for a Crayola sponsorship."

Don't know but I am seriously contemplating getting 愚蠢的馬鈴薯 tattooed on my shoulder.

He’s probably Italian and just trying to make sure he’s counted as white after the inevitable sale of America to China in order to refinance Trump’s commercial real estate portfolio.

Yes.

He likes the image and didn’t think farther OR he’s a slightly more complicated white supremacist than average

definitely #1, almost certainly one of the other two as well

Numbers one and three-- he thinks it says something else AND he got trolled.

1 AND 3

It's bait...

白 maybe he was going for something epic like “clear minded” and completely failed.

A label

1 and 3 probably

All of the above?!

"I thought it said cake? it looks like cake! I thought these were ideograms??"

Did he maybe think the same people reading his tattoo couldn't see the color of his skin? (This would comport with my impression of white supremacists.)

No reason it can’t be both 1) and 3) simultaneously. I hear that’s a fairly common thing.

It's either C or its the name of some niche anime character with white color theme I'd say.

third one

Unless his first name is either Walter or Betty, I’m guessing first and third.

I like the idea of him being trolled

Pathetically, all three, I suspect.

- he know what it says and thinks it’s funny

Maybe he thinks it's funny.

C. C!

Whut in Caucasian

its so if he ever gets lost in china they can figure out what race he is

Perhaps he finds it droll.
