@oldmemer0: The phrase “Don’t be racist, I am a building” is peak nonsense meme culture, the kind of absurd humor that thrives on being so random it becomes unforgettable. The meme originates from a crudely animated, surrealist YouTube/TikTok clip where a poorly drawn character — often literally a talking building — solemnly declares: “Don’t be racist… I am a building.” There’s no logical setup, no explanation, just the blunt statement delivered in monotone, and that’s what makes it funny. Like many shitpost-era memes, it works because it takes a serious topic (racism) and applies it to a completely nonsensical context (a sentient building demanding respect). The sheer disconnect is the punchline. From there, the quote was quickly ripped, remixed, and edited into countless variations: 3D animations, Roblox skits, text-to-speech parodies, even deep-fried edits with MLG sound effects. The humor lies in its anti-joke structure — instead of teaching a moral lesson or building toward a setup, the meme is the joke. It’s absurd, surreal, and so random that it feels like a dream you only half remember. But because of its strange energy and quotability, it stuck in the collective meme brain as one of those iconic one-liners you can drop in chat and instantly get laughs. #DontBeRacist #IAmABuilding #SurrealMeme #AbsurdHumor #ShitpostCulture #RandomCore #InternetWeirdness #AntiJoke #MemeClassic #DeepFriedMeme #YouTubePoopEnergy #CursedButFunny #MemeOneLiner
