Race Card

Something white people made up so that when they say something that is racially offensive they can turn it around on you and make it seem like you're being over sensitive.

Kevin(Asian): Well, I have to go guys.
Jake(white): Go where? To to eat some sushi and noodles?
Kevin: Ouch, that was kind of racist.
Jake: Oh, shut up and stop trying to play the race card.

Cassie(black): Hey Becky, I'm having a cookout this weekend. You should come.
Becky(white): What's on the menu?
Cassie: you know just regular cookout food.
Becky: Well, I'm allergic to watermelon so no thanks.
Cassie: What would make you think I would be having watermelon? Because I'm black?
Becky: Here we go with the race card again.

race card

A false claim of racism used in attempt to win a debate/argument or escape punishment. This is generally used by people who have no legitimate argument or excuse for their actions.

Originally used mainly by individual African Americans for personal reasons, the race card is now commonly played by liberals of all races in an attempt to silence anybody who disagrees with them or opposes their agenda. This is similar to how conservatives used the concept of "patriotism" to silence their critics after 9/11.

1.) After the jury was shown irrefutable evidence of his guilt, the defendant played the race card and said that he was only charged because he was black.

2.) After the Republican embarrassed the Democrat in the debate, the Democrat played the race card and claimed that the Republican was biased against blacks because he wanted to reduce spending on welfare.

When a minority in America (and more recently, Caucasians) try to call foul on a situation that is detrimental to them and say the situation is racially discriminatory. Now, whether it is or not is irrelevant, as such stories are taken as gospel.
