Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.' -Random imageboard header disclaimer. 'The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Furthermore, nothing posted on 4chan is intended to be taken at face value. Since 4Chan's posting format is default Anonymous posting, there is really no way to determine if the individuals making said racist remarks are indeed of a different race, or simply taking an example, an (Insert Race of Choice) individual poking fun at themselves/others of their race.

So, racism is defined as what may or may not be seen as offensive from one race to another. Taken from the Wikipedia article on Racism: 'Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race'. There is nothing that we can reliably source to the Shoop da Whoop/Lazer firin meme, nor cock mongler, pedobear, happy negro, teh Rei, Assdip-chan, being gay for Bridget, longcat, or Candlja- Ryūlóng ( 竜龍) 06:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Accordding to the Wikipedia article Internet Meme, 'When the jokes are reposted enough so that the majority of the websites users are aware of it, it becomes a meme.' Therefore, because the majority of 4chan users are aware of such memes as Shoop da Whoop, cock mongler, pedobear, etc.After some googling I've found many respectable sources that provide a point of view about 4chan as a website that permits racist commentary and hate speech, but instead, not enough reference to this topic is found in the curent revision of the article, there are many sources out there confirming this, besides KTTV's report.

Ashibaka (tock) 06:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC) How about the fact that by searching SHOOP DA WHOOP on Wikipedia, one is automatically directed to a WHOOPless 4chan? Brain fork 06:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC) People make stupid redirects. See WP:RS and WP:V.- Ryūlóng ( 竜龍) 05:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Wouldn't the existance of SHOOP DA WHOOP's image on google as well as youtube count for RS and V? Brain fork 06:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Those sources are unfortunately unreliable- they can be used to astroturf, etc.

should SHOOP DA WHOOP, and the 'Im in your blank, blanking your blank' things be added to the page? Brain fork 05:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC) No. I added 02:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC) While the subject of 4chan memes is open.
