Yeah, thanks for that brief excursion in passive aggressive rape apology.

Brittania? I don't see any giant mechas roaming around an occupied Japan, now refered to as Area 11.

Yay! More Nigeria folk! Hi!

As a Nigerian, awww yeah Kerry. Nnamdi is one handsome dude too.

You know what's sad? We all got so distracted by the "mutts" line that the fact that he feels the need to comment on how much he loves fucking biracial women and how pretty they all are just slid right past. :(

I go through this discussion every semester with my hate speech class. "But if THEY call themselves niggas/fags/dykes/mutts/etc., why the hell can't I?" Because context matters. Who it is who's saying the words matters. If it's somebody who the word is normally targeted against, that means, "Hey, I'm owning this so…

You are a fuckwad. I mean that endearingly, of course.
