I Have Mongolian Friends

Text on the meme

I'm not racist. I have Mongolian friends.

What it means

A vintage painting shows mounted warriors riding horses, paired with the claims “I'm not racist” and “I have Mongolian friends.” The joke mocks a weak attempt to deny racism by citing friendships with people from a different ethnic group, while the historical image reinforces the Mongolian reference.
