Overview
This edited meme uses a popular candid photo template of two men sitting next to each other on public transit to joke about a common occurrence on X/Twitter. The man on the left, focused on his phone, is labeled to represent 'Racist Japanese people on Twitter', marked with a purple chat-style diamond. The man on the right holds up his phone labeled 'Translate post' pointing toward the left man's phone, with a red arrow reinforcing the connection. The joke references how non-Japanese speaking users on Twitter use the platform's built-in translate feature to read and expose problematic/racist posts originally written in Japanese that would otherwise be unreadable to them.
