Cripple. History Major. Vaguely Left-Wing.
Also, beans on toast is fine.
Passing on an opportunity to dab on the Brits? Sir, I’m going to need to revoke your American card.
Chocolate pizza is definitely something I’ve seen around, and had, as someone who’s never been outside of the US.
Once they cross the border, they’re Minnesotan, it’s okay
My ex (ages ago) wanted to understand and support my culture better, so she went out and watched Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift.
Likkeeeee I appreciate the effort but bruuuhh I’m Filipino. Wtf.
That’s almost impressive. Multi-level fuck-up.
The absurdity of racism is all the more exposed when what an arbitrary social construct it is is highlighted. Throw the Japanese-Americans in internment camps and forbid them from serving the military with white people - but praise Chinese-Americans as allies against Imperialism™ and let them serve as officers in non-segregated units with white folk.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s great that WW2-era white America got over its anti-Chinese racism for ten seconds, but it would have been a nice bonus had it not been just another extension of racism’s arbitrary nature.
Funny(?) enough, efforts by Chinese-Americans to differentiate themselves from Japanese-Americans to the racist majority of the US were largely successful during WW2.
Probably not flags usually, but there was a great deal of effort made by Chinese-Americans to distinguish themselves as “Not-Japanese” to the white majority of the US during WW2 to avoid getting racism-by-proxy.
Anti-Japanese sentiment was rampant in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, and it would only get worse. Racism against Chinese-Americans was considerably less, as China was seen as an ally against Japan.
Like, I’m fairly sensitive to anti-white prejudice. Not because white people are some oppressed minority, but because it absolutely gets tiring having to justify your own existence for being born. But this? Man, this is the equivalent of “Americans like hamburgers” or “German humor is no laughing matter”. It’s okay to embrace a little absurdity, as long as it’s not taken seriously by you or by your society.
As someone who is partly white, I have pumpkin spice privileges.
Considering that the Mujahideen were overthrown by the Taliban in the mid-90s and the remnants spent the next half-decade or so fighting the Taliban as the Northern Alliance, I don’t see why Thatcher isn’t having a broken clock moment here. Unless, of course, you’re some kind of cretin who sympathizes with the Soviets performing systemic genocide and war rape on Afghanistan.
The Russian method is the same as the Ukrainian method, but the drone is a man.
Raised in Maryland, same kinds of jokes we tell about West Virginia, lmao.
A West Virginian boy got mad at a Marylander, so he threw a stick of dynamite at the Maryland boy. The Marylander picked it up, lit it, and threw it back.
Be the meme-starter you wish to see in the Fediverse!
It’s so fucking obvious is it that these people are paid by the meat industry.
I disagree. I think many of them are legitimately just that stupid.
Although some probably are paid.
He looks intense as fuck. The cat looks like they’d open the door high on catnip and invite you in for a glass of milk when you were just there to drop off the mail.
What do the X and Y Axis represent?
Everything is American once we get our grubby little hands on it.
