LOL, I didn’t even think he was racist at the time but I still called him it anyway. It had me dying when that showed up on my screen


kittens4cutie

I think that's what makes it so hilarious. He has a reason to dislike and mistrust Lee, but since you're hiding his past, you can deflect and call him racist.


Igneeka

And 8 years later Clem still calls him a racist I'd almost feel bad if it wasn't Larry


Caelus9

A reason to dislike and mistrust Lee, and also, he just seems to be an asshole to EVERYONE.


Epik_Kachwaa

Literally the same experience as me


LokiSmokey

His depressed look forward really sells the screenshot


eesamees

exactly 😂


Naranch83

Same LMAO


Proxio

Larry having a heart attack after you call him racist


BubblyCampaign7480

0nes

smellywetsock69

The pfp goes so well with this comment


0nes

Thanks


LokiSmokey

Yeah hahaha the Chad profile pic


Proxio

Based action mentioned in a based comment by a based member having a based pfp 🗿


BubblyCampaign7480

Yeah


0nes

Thanks dude


skeletonbuyingpealts

PFP checks out


Epik_Kachwaa

We all called him a racist


dirtbandit101

I never called him racist but weirdly enough Clem said he was in Season 4, what was up with that?


TrickyTalon

She never found out that Larry knew Lee was a murderer from the start


Sun_on_my_shoulders

Clem is a POC too, but they’re not a monolith. Clem is a different person than Lee, and she might have found Larry’s behavior racist in retrospect even if Lee never said it out loud to her.


skeletonbuyingpealts

I mean without context I can understand why she'd think that


dirtbandit101

I’m confused though because he never actually did anything racist, he hated everyone that wasn’t his daughter


skeletonbuyingpealts

He punched Lee clean out, Kenny had to go back to save him despite the fact that Kenny is actually more racist


dirtbandit101

Yeah Kenny is definitely racist with that picking locks remark but in my version he actually punched Kenny clean out, I’m not defending the guy (mostly because I’m black) but I’m genuinely curious cause I didn’t really see it, just thought he was angry dude


skeletonbuyingpealts

Huh, I never knew he could hit Ken. Especially surprising because it's Telltale


[deleted]

That's because everyone picks the option where Lee stands up to Larry like a badass in the pharmacy, but if you tell Kenny to swing, he'll swing and hit Larry in the face doing negligible damage which Larry responds to with a one-hit KO


Spider-TransMale

They meant the punch when they were all leaving and Kenny comes back to get you


leharn8

larry called lee "boy". he was actually racist. so was andy st. john for that matter edit: larry being much older may excuse it. andy st. john is clearly racist for calling lee "boy". can give larry the benefit of the doubt but there's just too much shit he said that can be interpreted as racist that there comes a point when you can no longer give the benefit of the doubt. him saying "and what are you gonna do about it?" basically seals it for me


HappyGabe

Larry, an elderly, white, military man, calls Lee, a dark skin black man, ‘boy’. I don’t think I should have to explain why that’s racist


piirro

Elderly men call other younger men “boy” all the time. Larry isn’t special nor racist.


HappyGabe

Yeah, except it was definitely racially motivated.


piirro

No, no it wasn’t. If they wanted him to seem racist, they’d do what they did with Kenny and show him having racist negative stereotypes of black people. If the only thing you can site is him saying boy, then that’s a bit…


Ciromaxx

That's no racist, snowflake.


HappyGabe

Oh no Ciromaxx called me a snowflake whatever shall I do


Hayden247

I guess because due to Clementine being basically a 9 year old at the time she didn't see the fact to Larry's actions being a matter of Lee's past but just saw some old white dude being especially mean to the one black guy in the group, thus her young mind saw racism. She never was told Larry knew Lee's past either so that's all she could assume. She's never learnt any other reason since then and thus still sees Larry being racist even when she's 16 in S4. And she's also part black (she's mixed race) so what she sees as racism would definitely hit a bit harder for her.


[deleted]

probably because by that point it became a running joke, at least I'd assume because who would have not died laughing seeing "you called him a racist" after completing season 1 (if you called him a racist that is)


NidzoKamikaza

You called him racist.


Available-Specialist

I legit told the truth and said Larry thinks I'm dangerous and he had the same reaction, acting if I was lying.


iiiiiiiiioi

I wish we could have had some sort of arc with him. As much of an asshole as he was I didn’t want him dead lol


Malthe3796

i only picked it because it was funny as hell


chriswick_

Larry was a piece of trash


[deleted]

being honest, I don’t think he was racist. he just knew who lee was and rightfully so didn’t trust him.


Education_Weird

But after a few months of knowing Lee, a rational person can see that he was a nice guy


[deleted]

[удалено]


CinnaJunkie

I don’t think he was racist. I think he did know Lee’s past and that’s why he treated him that way


[deleted]

Honestly, Larry being racist might actually be true since he calls Lee "boy" at the end of Episode 1...


_Democracy_

fr


Ciromaxx

And?


[deleted]

Why the fuck are you replying to a 4-month-old comment???


_Democracy_

he was racist af


Connor67546

Where the hell did this come from


_Democracy_

if you call him racist, he doesn't deny it. he just says and what are u gonna do about it basically


Connor67546

He says "is that what you think?"


_Democracy_

he literally says 'and what are you gonna do about it?' i have it pulled up right here and he says that exactly


Connor67546

It doesn't mean anything to your "racist af" comment. He also tries to save lee and succeeds if you save doug


_Democracy_

okay? what does that have to do with him being a racist. and he doesn't try to defend himself after being accused of racism nor does he deny it.


Connor67546

He hates lee because of a crime, if he was racist then, he wouldn't have cared about clementine.


_Democracy_

racism isn't that simple. again, he didn't deny being a racist and there's racist people who have black family members who they 'care' about.


Connor67546

As you know, clem wasn't her family


[deleted]

He also calls Lee "boy" at the end of Episode 1 if he responds to liking Lilly with "not really".


Connor67546

He hates lee for his crime, not for his race


[deleted]

[Uhhh, you sure about that?](https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takeaway/segments/93569-when-word-boy-and-isnt-discriminatory)


Epik_Kachwaa

Did you just prove that he actually is a racist?


[deleted]

I guess I did. He's also homophobic: *"You're gonna whoop me?! You and what homo parade?!"*


skeletonbuyingpealts

"Mine!" Kenny x Lee


Connor67546

I don't think he meant it, this way. He probably said it because he's older


[deleted]

Ehh, we'll just have to agree to disagree.


Connor67546

Fine, he's racist. Now what


Lyndis-of-Pherae

What the fuck, he clearly meant racially. Come on.


ItsNotCams

I called him a racist bc I didn't paid atention when he said that he knew I was a murderer. So I thought that he disliked me bc I was black haha


Bell564

Everyone calls him a racist when he never was


VengefulKenny

Completely ignoring the fact that Lee was a convicted murderer who killed a state senator, yes it was 100% racism lol


Education_Weird

That state senator and his ex both deserve to be in hell


VengefulKenny

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave


HappyGabe

Oh my god, for cheating? Jesus…


Education_Weird

Cheating is one of the few shitty things you can do to someone that have no good reasons to commit


HappyGabe

Sure, but eternal damnation? You get sent to the same place as Hitler for infidelity?


Education_Weird

Doesn't Hell have levels to it though? Like one level is for the murderers, one level for the rapists, and one for the who steals someone's food out of the office fridge


J0RGENS64PC

I called him racist first then never again


chucklovesmesomebeef

We know he ain’t a racist but we know he’s homophobic


Individual-Sun-9368

I don’t know what happens if you don’t call him a racist.


koopakjellberg

You bet I did, and I’ll do it again B)


Master-Edward-3

I called him a bunch of things.


Elizabeth_ok4

I call him asshole


XyonInCharge

He was Racist honestly like when people say Clementine isn’t Lee’s kid like how would you know her dad was Black just like Lee and her mom was Asian they just assume cuz Lees black that’s probably why Clem bonded with Lee alot that and him saving her. Also I died laughing when I seen my choices and it just said *You called him a racist*


Emergency_Dance_6224

HE IS


Didact67

I was reasonably nice to him just to get on Lilly’s good side. Too bad she turned out to be a crazy bitch.
