Only good delivery of that I've ever heard was dr briefs in dbz abdridged cause it highlights the character's bigotry rather than encouraging it

[Sees something I can't read] well normally I'm not racist but I'm gonna call them moon runes and move on

It's frustrating cuz I coulda sworn there was genuinely some alphabet or language called that but it's getting jumbled with racist shit and Tolkien.

Never heard that term in my life

It's usually from people who moved on from 4chan but accidentally kept some bad terminology

once had a guy tell me he "can't read moon runes" when I sent him screencaps from a game I like (text in Chinese)

...

he was, himself, Chinese-American.

Couldn't write this shit if I tried.
