I have heard the racist version before. Also heard “fella” used. Never heard “tiger”.

I still don't understand how it is a "slur" when it is used so much in pop culture, music, in the streets and pretty much everywhere. Dumb is dumb.

Yea I saw that Wheel Of Fortune program last week and was absolutely appalled at the crass insensitivity of that puzzle. Pat Sajak needs to retire. He's old-school and a throwback to an inglorious era in American history

Since this country was founded for and by racists then anything based here is inherently racist…where is Yahoo based by the way?

According to Vox, the original version of this rhyme is “rooted in the slave trade,” and was not used by children but by slave-owners. “Tiger” in the rhyme was originally an “N-slur.

I don't know about ORIGINALLY, but I'm positive this version existed in the 70s and 80s.

Of course it's racist.


At this point it’s easier to list the things that aren’t racist than to list those that are. At this point, this is all I can think of that isn’t racist

1. Black people.
2. LGGTBQXYX%&¥#\+*^=?!?~<{_]•}”’

Literally everything and everyone not listed is, according to the current politically accepted narrative, in fact “racist”. Furthermore, everything and everyone not listed above owes those listed above (1) subservience (2) an apology and (3) reparations*.

* satisfaction of points 1-3 listed above does not constitute satisfactory recompense for racism in any shape, form, or fashion.
