I have a hard time believing that the linked articles demonstrate that humans are, collectively, unable to keep real and ironic racism separate. It seems more likely, to me, based on my experience with other people, that these are some isolated incidents and if it wasn’t South Park, these people would latch on to anything and do something stupid.
I’d welcome some studies or something a little less anecdotal to change my mind.
