If I had to guess, you’re the Asian that laughs with your non-Asian friends when they make fun of another Asian because they’re making fun of Koreans or whatever, and you’re not Korean or whatever, so it’s ok!

Mind if I ask where you’re from? I’ve never heard “spade” being used as a slur. I just looked it up after reading comments here, and apparently it is used that way, and I’m pretty dumbfounded by that.
Wait, what?! Is it because “spade” is a slur for black people? Is this a regional? In my 38 years, all in California, I have honestly never heard the word used in this way.
I mean, I guess it’s good that the Catholic church got around to doing that, though hundreds and hundreds of years later than they should have, but better late than never. Maybe Scientology deserves the same breaking-in period to work their kinks out?
Wouldn’t they say their core beliefs are to reach some level of understanding that would allow them to be reborn as some alien god of another planet or something? Eh, I don’t know. Sounds about as crazy to me as worshipping God in heaven for all eternity.
I understand that they do weird shit, but it’s weird to me because I am not one of them. I mean, in my church, we did things like washing the feet of other people because Jesus did it. That’s, um, weird. But within the context of Christianity, it kind of, sort of makes some kind of sense. I suppose. And the kids at my…
Genuinely curious: what makes a Scientologist “crazy”? Is it the subject matter of their beliefs or their outward acts? Because if it’s the subject matter, objectively, the beliefs of all the religions are “crazy”--I was raised Protestant Christian and the stuff in the Bible is more fantastical than Lord of the Rings.…
I’m not a historian on religion, nor very familiar with any religion--even the Presbyterian version I was raised in--but weren’t Catholic sermons done in Latin for centuries, with the unspoken but primary purpose of managing the message to the leity? And didn’t many Christian ministers preach to illiterate slaves that…
I’m not a Scientologist, and I’ve read/seen/heard many of the accounts of abuse within the religion, but every time I read/see/hear criticism of it, I can’t help but think “what’s the difference between those abuses and thousands (millions?) of similar or worse committed by other religions?” And what is the difference…
Wouldn’t this be true of any vehicle with doors that are stuck? Minivan, SUV, sedan--car accidents can so damage the car that doors do not open.
You know plenty of Japanese and/or Koreans who supported Trump? How many is “plenty” and where do you live?
Relegation is a wonderful part of soccer, where there is as much intrigue and excitement at the bottom of the standings as there are at the very top, but it could never work in today’s American sports. An owner who just spent $2 billion for a team would never risk that investment languishing in the minor leagues for…
Simply correcting the second sentence of your second paragraph.
How old are you, or where do you live, that vaping in public imparts status?
To be fair to you, it is a bunch of colored squares and rectangles, and any idiot with a ruler and paint could replicate it, but to be fair to the artist, it isn’t about if anyone can do it after the fact—it’s about being able to create it in the first place.
See, in the US, our football stadiums are full of inbreds, but we don’t make monkey noises at our black players. Oh, you’ll get fucked up for any number of reasons in our stadiums, especially in what used to be the home of the San Francisco 49ers, but not over race. That you don’t find it shocking that it’s expected…
Not to mention the blatant racism. There is zero doubt that racists watch sports in the US, but none of them--not in the deepest south, not in the southiest of Boston--would any of them dare shout slurs or throw bananas or sing racist songs in the stands, and if they did, they’d leave the stadium in an ambulance. Not…
Everyone wears hoodies, and when was the last time a beard was ironic? 2005? Facial hair is now as ironic as tattoos are rebellious.
They’re not uncommon in the Bay Area.
