The 'I Can Excuse Racism But I Draw The Line At Animal Cruelty' meme originates from the NBC sitcom 'Community' in the Season 3 episode 'Advanced Gay.' The scene features the character Britta Perry attempting to defend the actions of Pierce Hawthorne's father, only for Shirley Bennett to deliver a deadpan response questioning her bizarre moral hierarchy. This template became a staple of internet culture for calling out individuals or groups who overlook serious social injustices while focusing on relatively less severe issues. It is widely used in political commentary, fan community debates, and social media discourse to satirize hypocrisy and misplaced outrage.
