Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Too many people are wildly overanalyzing this comic or getting needlessly insulted by it. I think your interpretation is the correct one.

Casual, unintentional racism is more of a problem than people generally realize, because they’re not even conscious of it. Racism doesn’t always show itself in overt acts of hatred or discrimination. Sometimes, a well-meaning person can say or do hurtful, insulting things because of racist assumptions they don’t know they’re making.

It's the same way with sexism. It's not always blatant "wOmAn bAd"

I'd go to a mechanic with my ex to get her car worked on and everyone only wants to talk to me. I've worked food service where our cashier was a woman and people would deliberately only talk to me. I had a pipe burst at my roommates house but because I'm the man the water service guy only wanted to talk to me.

That last one fucked with me the most cause I'm like "dude, this isn't my house"
