It might be surprising to only me, but the ad I saw today was quite unfortunate.

Even during a game between two teams from solid blue states, Trump can run an openly transphobic ad. I know that they’re probably aiming for baseball fans in other states, but it’s telling how comfortable the corporate elites are with running transphobia, a losing political issue, on such a high profile event. It’s a sad reminder that rich liberals read too much NYT.

      Family Guy Skin Color Chart or Family Guy Race Card refers to a series of memes using an exploitable screenshot from Family Guy showing a toll booth worker holding a “skin tone chart” up to Peter Griffin, who is wearing a fez hat, to determine if he’s white enough to pass through to the United States. The episode aired in March 2013 and the scene became the subject of memes as early as 2014, typically with users photoshopping the words on the skin tone card to change the context. The meme is often used as a reaction image on sites like Twitter to criticize perceived forms of racism.
