It’s some sovereign citizen stuff, for sure...

I mean, it’s not like he was lying about something of substance, y’know, like having sexual relations. /s

It’s interesting, the ability and need to pass for plain white, instead of preempting the possibility of hearing “no, I mean, where are you really from?” Which you can hear echoes of in in the “... but you don’t look Asian.”

Yep. Vaguely similar to, in some cases, not having a gun (in rancher-land), not having access to the insides of your car or phone, not having access to a library, not having access to the internet, etc. The standard for these things isn’t that one cannot live without, but that one should not be told by the government…

No love for Brisco County, Jr.?

TBF, it should be confirmed that he was Christian. Seems highly likely, but should still be confirmed.

Those asian genes?

Can’t just assume she’s incompetent and evil.

No... using the Speedforce generates an equivalent aura of stupid around oneself.

I’d wager heavily on the latter, having met a few empowered narcissists, and those that deem that they succeed through failure.

Gotta provide jobs for the base somehow...

(replying to this instead of OP for reasons)

The response shouldn’t be fear, it should be anger, and motivation to shore up the more immediate lines of support: getting involved in the local and state school and education boards, and their teachers’ unions and associated causes. Although I would hope that any persons with kids such needs would already be doing…
