It's extremely racist, heterophobic, and sexist. This white lesbian is making this straight black man carry her around. She's obviously saying women aren't strong enough to walk on their own and black men are supposed to be servants to the white majority.

The proper term is CAUCASIAN AMERICAN you safe-space destroying maniac

People will clutch at all kinds of straws to brand someone a racist nowadays. :laughga:

How in the world is this even racist? People need to stop reaching for stuff like this and worry about the flood in Louisiana.

REALITY

Ellen's far from being racist. She's arguably the most kind-hearted person in Hollywood. Stupid how people think this is racism. 

There's actual atrocities, actual deaths, actual things going on that are racist, and there are actual racists people out there. People shouldn't be commenting on that, it was just a joke.

Things like these are the reason why ACTUAL racism is ignored or not taken seriously. Ellen is probably the kindest and most open minded person on Earth. :deadbanana:

The joke that Bolt runs fast went over their head...

So their conclusion is that it's racist.

I fell down the stairs once as an actor.

It's ridiculous that she's being accused of racism over the pic. I do like the fact that the majority of the comments I've seen on the subject are condemning the SJWs, though.

Completely ridiculous. People should spend their time on racism that is legitimate. There is certainly plenty of it out there.

The comments like "It's actually the people who find this racist that are racist!" comments are just as OTT though tbh.

The picture of Usain Bolt became a meme before Ellen posted this, people were making jokes about how fast he is and how he can just casually look behind him with a smile on his face while his competitors struggle to catch up. Ellen tried to take advantage of this popular meme and made a similar joke about how fast he is by saying he could give her piggyback rides everywhere and it would make her day go faster. The joke couldn't be more transparent. 

I'm not for people creating images that depict white people riding on the backs black people so they can run their errands - that is horribly racist. But in this case it's  Usain Bolt, fastest man on the planet, just about to win another gold medal in this photo, he is in his olympic garb and he is on the track. His ethnicity clearly has nothing to do with it. Ellen is joking about riding on the back of the fastest olympian ever so she can zoom around and do everything she needs to get done super fast. The controversy is silly.
