Peter what does this mean?

There’s a common stereotype that white people are more likely to engage in extreme or deadly activities for fun. Some examples are things like;

Caving/spelunking (as depicted in the picture), bungee jumping, skydiving, hiking in bear-infested woods, traveling to dangerous areas like volcanoes, interacting with or befriending dangerous wildlife.

It also extends into movie behavior like investigating haunted houses where you will commonly see white people just casually exploring a dark, scary room while black people in the movies would be like, ‘No way, I’m out of here.’

Given this stereotype, the joke is that a black person would never find themselves in this situation as they would never do an activity like the one described that could lead to it.

Theres a stereotype that white people enjoy stuff like hiking, rock climbing and spelunking

That would be my tomb, i would wish for some rare metal to be poured in a vein down to me and then in 1000 years when miners find the valuable vein they will think i am some god ir anchient king who cursed them.

This isn’t a joke it’s true.

There is literally no stories of black people in situations such as these. Before even knowing the story I knew it was a white dude with zero background

The picture is rotated 90° clockwise, it shows the body of John Edward Jones, a 26 years old man who died in Nutty Putty cave in 2009 after spending 27 hours upside down in a hole barely the size of his body.

The tweet that answers to the image says that black people are less likely to die in a similar situation because they’re less likely to likely to engage in dangerous sports like spelunking.

There is a stereotype that black people don’t do dangerous activities. Such as gator fishing(yes it’s real) rock climbing mountain summiting sky diving etc. it’s kinda true I’m black and I’ve never done any dangerous activities for “adrenaline rush”

Before reading the comments, I was wondering what did Saddam Hussein did this time :)))

Saddam Hussein was in this situation and he wasn’t white

The person shown in picture is white/greyish

It only happens to grey people.

*Not all white people die in hot air balloon accidents, but only white people die in hot air balloon accidents.*

White people nonsense

Tru to build a hoisting system based of wood, almost get out then experience it breaks.

Its rotated 90 degrees tho, he was head down
