What about that placement makes it cool without socks exactly? It's just a shitty ankle tat, nothing special about the placement other than the fact that you can tell they only got it there because it would be easy to cover up

Maybe it symbolises them changing their ways after being racist in the past, hence throwing it away? I can’t say it looks particularly great but it could mean more to the person themselves. Just speculation

edit: coming back I realise you are focusing on the placement, so apologies if my reply is out of place. Though I’m going to leave the comment anyway

Reminds me of when I used to go to punk shows and seeing everyone with anti-nazi badges that had a swastika crossed out but in the dark it just looked like a normal swastika

IT WAS EARTH ALL ALONG!!

It bothers me that the representation of the trash is larger than the opening of the waste bin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We’re gonna need a bigger bin

It would be easily covered up by a semi truck.

Imagine disliking F1 races so much that you tattoo your feelings about it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean have you been watching this season? Outside of today it’s been absolute shite.

[–] Omgarm 4 points 1 year ago

No it hasn't. You just need to watch anything besides Max. P2-P20 is where the battles are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't get it, how does it relate to F1?

Any examples/sources? Haven't seen anything about it

Every driver is a racist, that's their job, car racists.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Its a play on words. They race cars, so they're racists.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Surely racism must be something about racing cars /s

[–] robocall 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wear socks on the days you're feeling racist and no socks when you're not feeling racist.

[–] PP_BOY_ 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do that anyway but without the tattoo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Socks = racist? Lot more racists out there than I thought

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

"I swear I'm not racist, look under my socks!"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't get it. Why not simply wear pants the normal length ?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

because if they did this, no one would know how much of a heckin good person they are having a tattoo against racism. the tattoo would be essentially useless.

[–] ech0 4 points 1 year ago

I mean it doesn't matter. The issue would still be there if they were wearing shorts and socks.

"I think I shall wear my racist socks this evening."

"It's your prerogative, sir."

"Yes... It is."

arm needs to be tilted up a little bit more

Ah my favorite saying, "throw racism in the trash." Wicked bru.
