Someone just forwarded this ad for a Gin and Juice night at Smith Point, sponsored by LNS of course. I’m not sure exactly which design elements make the image so offensive. Perhaps it’s the randomly chosen photos of shirtless rappers? I have to wonder if the organizers just don’t realize that ironic/nostalgic references to Snoop lyrics come across as racist when the people making said references are best known for their trembling fear of Ethiopians. Or maybe it’s so meta I can’t even understand.
This isn't a paywall.
