White Boy Cat Ears

“No, you put on the cat ears, white boy”

A black-and-white image shows a young woman holding a large tube-like weapon while the caption orders a “white boy” to put on cat ears. The joke mockingly flips the expectation that someone else should perform a cute or submissive anime-influenced act, making it useful as an absurd reaction to online arguments about race, identity, or cat-ear memes.
