The "100%" Emoji Is Racist, According To The ADL

Now even numbers are offensive!

In a new statement, the Anti Defamation League (ADL) says that the 100% emoji that millions of people use every day is actually RACIST and that it symbols white supremacy.

I'm sorry, say what?

RIDICULOUS

The ADL's Center on Extremism announced that the 100% emoji and phrase was an abbreviation for "100% white", which is a term that some supremacist groups use. The ADL has since added the emoji to their glossary of "extremist or hateful ideologies."

However, just to show how even the ADL doesn't understand what it's upset about - in the same definition, the ADL then urges people to use caution before labeling people offensive for using the symbol!

"Additionally, caution must be used in evaluating instances of this symbol's use, as most uses of this symbol are not, in fact, white supremacist in nature," the ADL glossary reads.

Then what the heck are we even talking about? Is it a slow day over at the office that they need busy work to kill time?

The ADL needs to realize that just because some psychos may use terms or things in the wrong way, doesn't mean the rest of society should have to pay the consequences as well. 

I've honestly seen the 100% emoji in group texts or across social media posts hundreds of times - and every single time it always meant the same thing - being in agreement, or affirming something someone said. It's virtual slang - just like the eggplant means having a big ****, and a peach means that junk in the trunk. 

STOP BEING OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING

I get that certain terms become outdated and may be offensive.

But when you start going after something like 100%, then you lose validity in your other arguments. Take advice from how PETA continues to screw things up after they protested the NFL for using the phrase "horse-collar tackle" or Major League Baseball for the term "bullpen" because it's offensive to animals.

They look foolish… 100% of the time.
