Please don't sue us boss, we spend all our money at the corner dairy's Street Fighter machine and we only play as Dhalsim... so we don't have much cash on hand at any given time. We will absolutely pussy-out if you send us a legal letter.

"How not to be a racist dickhead."

Welcome to a topic that's been on my mind a lot lately, and I figured it's about time we had a little chat about it.

First things first, let's define what we mean by "racist dickhead." It's someone who discriminates against others based on their race, and is also a bit of a jerk about it.

Now, I know some of you may be thinking, "But Taika, I'm not a racist! I have a black friend!" Well, let me tell you, having a black friend doesn't automatically make you not racist. It's a bit like having a vegan friend and still eating a steak in front of them. It's just not cool.

So, without further ado, here are my guidelines on how not to be a racist dickhead:

1. Listen more, talk less. Sometimes it's better to just shut up and listen to what others have to say. Especially when it comes to issues of race.

2. Educate yourself. If you don't know something, it's better to admit it and learn about it rather than pretending you do... I'm talking to YOU Chris H.

3. Check your privilege. It's important to acknowledge the privileges you have and how they may have affected your life experiences. If you grew up in Devonport, you are probably doing ok at the mo... remember that some people grow up in some tough shit.

4. Don't make assumptions. Just because someone is a certain race, it doesn't mean they fit into a stereotype.

5. Speak out against racism. It's not enough to just not be racist yourself, you need to actively speak out against it when you see it happening.

6. Lastly, Don't be a dickhead. It's simple, just don't be a jerk.

And there you have it folks, my guide on how not to be a racist dickhead. Remember, it's not just about not being racist, it's about being actively anti-racist.

So if you find yourself, mid-steak and cheese, looking at someone that doesn't look like you and thinking "That guy looks like a dickhead", then it's probably you that has a dumb face. Time to have a few birthdays and give someone that doesn't look like you a hug, I recon.
