This Horribly Racist Indian Nursery Rhyme Kinda Bangs

Through my very brief research I’ve discovered that this isn’t actually an Indian song, it’s a British song from the late 1930s but I guess Indians have culturally appropriated racism and used it to teach their children to count by singing about black boys dying due to oversleep, biting their fingernails, hugging big girls, and marriage. It’s not necessarily the tactic I’d choose, but I must admit that it’s catchy. I think, all in all, I’m going to deem this song in the racist gray area (that’s a power I have as a white man). It’s like “it’s not racist if it’s funny” or “it’s not racist if it’s true” or “it’s not racist if I have a black friend,” things also are not racist if they’re beautifully sung by a hot Indian woman for a learning purpose. Carve that in stone, it’s law now.
