I tried going the other way:
"Is Malcom X" racist yields 'splainer after 'splainer article about how he was misunderstood and definitely NOT racist... despite being a segregationist.

"Is Malcom X" racist yields 'splainer after 'splainer article about how he was misunderstood and definitely NOT racist... despite being a segregationist.
I tried "are black people racist" and top result is Forbes article listing ways white people are racist without realizing it.
So then I felt like I was at the logical end of this so I tried inverting the idea in on itself to more and more degrees. "Is Hitler Antiracist," well Amazon used to stock a book from 1999 called "Adolf Hitler: Anti-racist!" I'm not certain if the term had the same meaning or context back then.
Then I tried "Intersectional Sectional Sofas" which was a miss. I was really hoping for an avant-garde design by an absolutely shitty artist, like one of those sofas that have vulvic folds or something in the seatback but in rainbow colors.
Believe it or not "Intersectional Blackface" had some fun results! Did I say "fun?" I meant "early signs of dementia."
I did attempt "antiracist blackface" hoping that Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" would come up but I was disappointed.
So I circled back to your original idea and googled "Are jigsaws racist?" Answer: The puzzles sometimes but the tools ALWAYS.
Going off oppressive tools like jigsaws, I googled "is architecture racist?" Extremely, and I can't wait to lube up and read more of "Architecture and Racism: A Conversation"
So coming to the end of my time to fritter away on googling Thinkpieces written by morons, I ponder as I often do how much energy is wasted on this shit while there're real crises being ignored. So it was "is the apocalypse racist?" Unfortunately not great results which I attribute to the fact that since these writers aren't thoughtful they can't even imagine plausible consequences of their choices.
So I tipped it back a bit and of course "is environmentalism racist" bloomed with many wonderful results of J-school scrubs trying to make their names convincing us all to focus on the irrelevant as we all go extinct.
I did a search for whether sharks are racist but I didn't find anything of note. When you consider that one shark is known as the Great White Shark, it seems like a missed opportunity.
Jaws was the greatest ever KKK recruitment ad ever filmed. Great White Shark indeed! Surprised it's not been cancelled yet. Spielberg is obviously a white supremacist. Except he's Jewish, and there is debate as to whether Jewish people are white or not.
I envision Jaws swimming around with a soggy yet still pointy white hood on his head. He needs a chinstrap to keep it on, which makes him look even duncier.
I love the original Dawn of the Dead by George A Romero. In it, the zombie apocalypse has happened, and a rational scientist is sitting on-camera in a television station pontificating about the whole depressing, abortive fiasco: "Maybe it's the brains that are already dead, and it's the idiots that are still alive." Yep. Or, even more pertinently:
I did want to comment about "Architecture and Racism: A Conversation", though. There is nothing that less resembles what a sane person would consider "conversation" than the conversations these 'alternatively cognitive' people (alt-tards?) are talking about when they say "Well, I started a much-needed conversation <when I sent those death threats> <when I caused that guy to off himself> <when I said I hated white children> etc."
They use it in the hope their words will be considered something other than the vile spew of a self-indulgent narcissist.
Note one thing: most of this stuff happens...online. Online is where the section of the world population who are the most mentally ill, insecure and isolationist have sequestered themselves 24/7 365. They represent nobody but themselves and their wee echo chamber hotel fire mirror image 'pals.' They scream and screech for attention from their shit hermit abodes because that is their way of gaining attention from others. The more psychotic and absurd they are, the more attention they get from other nutcases, even if that ends in jail time. The maddest idiots in the world now are helping to dictate world political policy. It's hilarious, really, a revenge fantasy of the impotent and ineffectual come true. Twitter Loonies Uber Alles!
Twitter (which was actually a word Scottish people used to use to say somebody was talking crap, like "Stop yer twitterin'") is a total psycho circus, a no-go area. Every grievance junkie in the world hangs out there.
Actually, we've noticed how much sway loonies on social media hold over corporations, and can force them to make Stockholm Syndrome-like about-faces if the mentally ill wankers online don't like their policies or business operations. How much of this intersectionalist shite is just an unnatural extension of this, kowtowing to nutters who want to rape and beat women with pink baseball bats for being born women, or sneering bleating racists of whatever (colour) stripe...to keep them 'happy' (not that such a thing is ever possible) and thus stirring up shit for corporations and dragging their sales down? It's all about money, start to finish, dick to dorsal. Morality has fuck all to do with it.
Let's face it, corporate and 'elite' (use the word advisedly) types are the new arbiters of 'morality,' like the unknown, food-providing gods were to people in centuries gone past, myth shrunk to human-skinsize. Obey their rules or get smashed down, or 'cancelled,' your life destroyed. They hand their behaviour diktats 'down' from 'on high' in their mainstream media outlets. There is a great deal of ego here, on both sides, and any fucking halfwit who does not like their loser life can bring a corporation to a grinding halt simply by marshalling a load of their weak, ineffectual, mentally and emotionally disturbed pals online to sign some shitty petition or make some viral video. All corporations care about is money, and all nutters care about is attention and validation of their madness.
Corporations are now obsessing over showing how committed to gay and trans and ethnic minority rights because these sectors of the populace are the ones who are loudest and can cause them the most profit-disturbing hassle and harm. So we have corporations who don't care about the population (and if their intersectionalist shit is anything to go by, hate themselves for being white) being financially manipulated by the weakest and weirdest fucking sections of the public.
They're cheered on by a bored and cowed burned-out general public, half in love with easeful death to get away from all this depressing and demoralising shit, symbiotic existential paralysis, who are too busy trying to keep their heads above poisoned ideological water in an ever-more-difficult world to give a fuck about the outrageous intricacies of it all. Thus attention-and-sex-starved nutcases + cowed, easily-swayed corporations + bored public whateverism equals...modern politics. Brilliant! :)
Stop the world,I want to get fucking off...indeed.
Malcolm X actually abandoned both racism and the Nation of Islam before he was gunned down in Harlem. He was a complex and thoughtful guy who wasn’t afraid of reality.
I think my point still stands as in the realm Cancel Culture, having an opinion when you're young or that you've long since denounced or even that you've already since apologized for (or in the case of Liam Neeson, in the process of confessing and apologizing for) still means you're a piece of human garbage that should be thrown away forever without regards to any context like a balanced regard for contributions that may greatly overshadow your differences of opinion.
So therefore Malcom X is tied for 1st Place for The Worst Person in History Forever... by the standards of the people I'm referring to in the hypothetical realm where they had any sense of integrity.
btw, I showed my ex-girlfriend (painter, art appreciate) Hunter's stuff and she immediately trashed it.
Still, she resisted when I asked her Matt's question, "Do you think there would be the same lack of attention and outrage if this was Donald Trump Jr. in this situation?"
It's hard for people to finally accept that the R vs. D fights are as fake as the competitions in Professional Wrestling.

Boy, the modern world is confusing.
Sharks aided the AXIS in WWII by killing US Navy men (as recalled in the monologue during Jaws) which means they were on Hitler's side.
Indeed - lol!

I note that the COVID lockdowns had the effect of pushing many formerly sane people into this virtual insane asylum.
I joined Twitter in March 2020 out of boredom. "I'm stuck at home anyway, so why not?" I left Twitter in June 2020, appalled.
I am not the best example, since I was never sane to begin with. But at least I have an ethos.

But to your broader ironies . . . Totally agree.
I think my point still stands as in the realm Cancel Culture, having an opinion when you're young or that you've long since denounced or even that you've already since apologized for (or in the case of Liam Neeson, in the process of confessing and apologizing for) still means you're a piece of human garbage that should be thrown away forever without regards to any context like a balanced regard for contributions that may greatly overshadow your differences of opinion.

Ah yes, the alternative timeline in which they are very self-aware and Schrodinger's Cat is and always will be just plain dead.

I hear Hunter B. is available. He would probably do you up a sofa for the appropriate amount of cabbage.
btw, I showed my ex-girlfriend (painter, art appreciate) Hunter's stuff and she immediately trashed it.
Still, she resisted when I asked her Matt's question, "Do you think there would be the same lack of attention and outrage if this was Donald Trump Jr. in this situation?"

I already inquired. He refuses to do it because of the rainbow color scheme.
"No Yellow," he said.
