Wally’s mother spoke to KPAX
Got our first foster placement, a newborn, last week, and in the negotiations over future kids, my wife got the football team (the Bills) and I got the baseball team (the Os)
I’m a diehard Os fan. While I was in the Army and during law school, I developed the habit of listening to every game. EVERY GAME. Last year, the ongoing ennui wore on me so badly that I slowly gave the habit up. I still brought the radio pass this year (Hope springs eternal! Next year is our year!) but after the…
It amazes me about that the people bitching the loudest about “dem furenners” don’t know a lick about USA history. And complaining about the Hispanics in Texas is just the cherry on top. My god, it was an Hispanic country once upon a time. They didn't jump the border, the border jumped them. Btw, 32% of the Rangers…
He is to blame because he offers a loud, public voice and a level of legitimacy to things we, as a society, would prefer to ignore and push into the shadows. He and the rest of the GOP are to blame for pushing the hero fantasy of a “good guy with a gun” standing up to invaders (home and otherwise) and, if necessary,…
Hey, kudos to both Robbie Amell and Italia Ricci for being good sports about the whole thing.
In China, the wave rides you.
Used to water Nelson Doubleday’s 3 office plants in upper mid-town Manhattan NYC once a week during the late 90s. He seemed a very congenial & friendly older man who didn’t flaunt his wealth ie much better than the cheap-ass & broke Wilpon family. Have always been a NL baseball fan btw.
Eff the Yankees, their “legends”, fuck Mariano Rivera, fuck Derek Jeter, and fuck their stupid Kate Smith song.
Joking aside the Chinese are now the Soviets of cheating the system, all athletes are sometimes suspect but the Chinese are applying a hammer and sickle to the operation.
As a Chinese person this frustrates me as well.
Some Asian cultures in general focus a lot on social status and superiority and generally believe they’re better than everyone else. I’m half Chinese and like all of my living Chinese relatives was born and raised in the US. The majority of us are pretty grounded but the older people love to watch Fox News all day…
“She is a winner who has lost so much...”
This is the MAGA philosophy at its purest essence. Winners and losers aren’t determined by the morally neutral act of winning and losing. Winners and Losers are preordained castes, determined (I suppose) by melanin levels and a willfully ignorant misreading of John Calvin.
To…
Historically, East Asian countries have done things that could be used to challenge even the 1890's US for the “Most Racist Place.” As an example, Japan *still* has places that straight-up say “For Japanese only,” they closed their entire country to outsiders for decades, and don’t get me started on how they treat the…
JFC. Her son was killed by a drunk driver, but rather than blame drunk-driving she blames illegal immigrants...
This isn’t entirely related but no one should be surprised that an (I’m assuming) Chinese-American mid-west woman has MAGA views. The younger generations are usually more progressive, but there parents and grandparents come from a pretty intolerant culture.
Aside from the racist assumption that “so many” Asian Americans are proud boys and white supremacists...they’re not into white supremacy, they’re into their own supremacy. A rare few hate themselves enough to wish they were white, but the majority of prejudiced Asians are just superior about their own race.
Do racists, not understand the difference between sharing culture versus cultural appropriation? There are tons of events like the college event mentioned where people want to share their culture. Unless you are watching a how to wear a hijab tutorial you don’t know how it’s done. So who better to teach you than…
She’s the typical “I’m just saying.....” conservative racist. “I’m just asking questions”, like it’s not racist at all but rather just opening up lines of academic inquiry. For someone who purports to be studying political science, she’s smart enough to play that little game and get all the fellow MAGAts to believe…
