I'm Not Racist But

I'm not racist but

A cartoon hand labeled “I'm not racist” reaches through a narrow opening, but the second panel shows it pulling away while the caption says “but.” The joke uses the phrase “I'm not racist, but…” to mock people who claim they are not racist before making a prejudiced statement, and it is used as a sarcastic reaction to hypocrisy or an offensive opinion.
