“I’m sorry, chairtlemen and chairdys, but only a white chair can be the true Chair. Oooh, that sounds awkward when I put it that way…”

really awkward, you may want to reconsider this.
Chair has always been a overly self-conscious around chairs of other colors: http://lovelylisting.com/2008/08/how-i-spent-my-summer-vacation.html
Shouldn’t the One True Chair be at the head of the table? Just sayin’.
Mmm, nothing like the smell of racism in the morning! All those exotic black foreigners.
Well, dark green.
Okay, okay, I’ll take your comment seriously (and also this one, which is sort of ironic because “moron”… oh, never mind) and overthink this plate of beans. I can see how this could be interpreted as Chair being the narrator, or self, and Caucasianormative, while the non-white (sorry, but what word would you use?) chairs are dark and the Other. And that there’s a long history of exoticism, and this could be seen as part of that. We’ll just set aside the fact that we’re talking about lawn furniture here, because Chair is a character on this website.
I saw the headline and it made me laugh. It reminded me of black-and-white photos from the British Empire, or Life magazine from decades ago. The awkward white diplomat attempting to talk with a large group of foreign chaps and stumbling all over himself. So I kept it when I moved the post over from the voting page, and gave Chair some clumsy “oh no, I didn’t mean that, oh dear” dialogue. I feel the acknowledgment of Chair’s potentially racist remark makes it clear that this is the joke.
The humor on this blog is absurd. I come up with weird associations and throw them out there. Sometimes other people get the reference or idea and they like it, too. I do hope you weren’t actually offended. I’m doing this to make myself and other people laugh, and I don’t want any of my readers to feel like their day was made less enjoyable because of something they read here.
Wit is lost on those not sharp of mind.
Right on. Sara, don’t let the retards win.
OK, now let’s talk about the word “retard…”
Snicker. I’m talking ’bout the the humorless, not people with real challenges.
Looks like a remake of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.
LOL
Speaking as a dark green chair myself… hilarious.
May I share with you something I called the Jokester’s Prayer? It goes like this:
“Oh, God, please protect me from the humorless.”
Shhh! We’ll have a mandatory Diversity Awareness Workshop if we’re not careful.
Brilliant as always.
Those internet warriors that would actually take offense at your humor are the exact cause they everyone speaks in hushed defensive whispers while in public.
Apparently the super-sensitive feelings of a few trump good humor these days. So sad.
…but keep up the good work Sara, you liven up my every day with these!
…Chairuman the White?
