Okay I swear I don't go looking for these, I just keep finding them. Soldiers in camoflage paint is now racist.Yep, we have got to this point folks. When I was young, there were stories abotu overly PC schools not singing bar bar black sheep because it was too racist. Those were ridiciulous myths by the right wing media. But now we have people saying that a soldier with his face painted with camoflage is racist. Some things to consider. The humour is clearly that he's pulling a funny face for the camera. There is no indication of black people in anyway, and the fact these people are immediately thinking of a minstrel show is really creepy. Are they projecting or something? Also the man is clearly painted dark green. You can see it on his arms. Which people of colour is he insulting? Orcs? Martians? Our secret lizard person rulers? Social Justice Warriors clearly don't know much about what actual warriors do, as they seeminly cant imagine why a soldier might painted his face when trying to hide in a jungle. This is the level we've reached people! 2016! CURRENT YEAR!

To be fair, I would think that this is a blackface joke after looking at that tweet and knowing nothing else.
I mean.
There's nothing else humorous here. Eventually my mind settled on making a connection between "jungle" and blackface.
So maybe the joke is that army people have no sense of humor.

You better not watch the film Commando. I mean just look at all this cultural appropriation! Check your privilege there, Arnie! I look at soldeirs in camo paint in the jungle and assume they are wearing it becasue they are soldiers...in a jungle. Crazy I know!

Yeah, but then no one claims that camo is supposed to be funny somehow.

He's pulling a silly face. Normally soldiers would have a serious expression, when doign war fighting. He is doing a silly surprised face.
I mean its not the high point of British comedy, I grant you, but its fairly obvious that they are saying you need adn sense of humour while someone making a face.
Or maybe camoflage is racist and the army just makes soldiers wear it so they can do minstrel shows. The bastards!

He is wearing a LOT of face paint. Usually they don't wear it thick because it's uncomfortable and prevents you from perspiring and therefore makes you overheat. Maybe he's doing his Dutch mud face impression.

Arnies racist crimes never end! Having mud all over you? Obvious black face! When will he stop destroying the cultures of people of colour.
I don't care if a heat sensing alien is out to kill you, thats no excuse for triggering people from marginalised groups!

It probably triggers people with infrared vision as well.
Shameless!

In the film, Billy said "There's something out there, and it aint no man."
Obvious transphobia! I think using the right pronouns for the Predator could have defused the whole situation.
