I know everything is racist these days but I'd like to hear Scooby explain precisely how he thinks the photo in question is racist. Are not the racist thoughts evoked by gazing at the photo within Scooby's head? Would that not make Scooby the originator of such racist cogitations?

Why do you have such thoughts, Scooby? Are you, perhaps, the racist here?
