The phrase is a common French denial that translates directly to I am not racist in English, and as a short isolated clip it circulates on meme soundboards detached from any single source. Its humour comes from using a serious, formal sounding defence in trivial contexts where nobody made a real accusation. Shared in French speaking and international meme edits, it became a reusable reaction for mock courtroom moments, fake apologies and overexplained preferences, staying popular because the wording is instantly understood even by viewers who know only a little French.
