When Pattern Recognition Gets Racist

Text on the meme

When crows recognise patterns “That’s so intelligent” When I recognise patterns “That’s racist!”

What it means

A four-panel meme contrasts a crow recognizing patterns with a person recognizing patterns. The crow is praised as intelligent, while the human is accused of racism, parodying the double standard in how pattern recognition is judged. The reaction is used sarcastically when someone points out an uncomfortable pattern and is criticized for it.
