    I am being sarcastic. We have a brown person as our prime minister, after all

      There are people who actually believe what you had posted, so without additional cues that it’s intended as sarcasm (like starting with Hur Dur or ending with /s), it’s anyone’s guess what you actually meant. In person sarcasm works better because we can easily add physical cues, but on the internet it’s best made very obvious imo.

        To be honest this was very obvious at least at the end, when they recognise life is worse. If it wasn’t sarcasm they wouldn’t admit that.

        No they don’t. No racist person would ever say that “literally every single brown ““person”” has left the country”. If you’re not neutron star level dense, it’s pretty obviously sarcasm.
