I saw one that was like, You are my best friend, and I’m so lucky I get to call you daddy! And I was legit confused, because I figured it would be her husband and it was kind of weirdly sexual with the Daddy thing, or maybe she was just really awkwardly saying that she was lucky he was the father of her kids, and then…

It’s not the direction, it’s the dialogue. Sometimes there is just no way to convincingly deliver shitty lines. There’s a story that on the original Harrison Ford got all pissy with Lucas and said, The problem, George, is you can write this shit, but you can’t say it!”

My husband’s cousin got married last fall and it was an unseasonable 100+ degrees that day. The worst part was actually the church ceremony, which was held in a 104 year old church with no air conditioning. The outdoor reception was actually quite nice. There was a nice breeze and plenty of shade, and the sun went…

I was backpacking Europe and was walking along the waterfront in Nice, taking the long way from my hostel to the train station, so I had all my shit with me and was dressed more for function than fashion, and some dude said something to me in French. I said I didn’t speak French, and he switched to heavily accented…

Seriously? Why don’t people stop breeding them?

His new HBO show is supposed to be good.

Well, you can’t set up your own law enforcement, that’s true, but there are about 47 bazillion white people in this country claiming to be Cherokee, and pretty much no one calls them out on it.

American Indians don’t register to be officially identified as a member of a marginalized minority. They register as citizens of sovereign tribal nations.Indian tribes are not “granted certain rights” as a way to make amends; tribes have natural rights as separate nations that are backed by centuries of treaties.

I actually wore out my dvd of Bride and Prejudice by watching it so much, which I did not realize was a thing you could do.

I am white, and the high school attended was officially 0% white. Some people were shitty to me because of my race/ethnicity. But even when I was 14 fucking years old I wasn’t like, “Today, I know what it is to be black in America.” Because I fucking didn’t, because everything in our entire culture reaffirmed that…

Ugh, the send something back every time people. My mom started refusing to go out if a friend of a friend was in the group after she sent her food back because her baked potato was smaller than everyone else’s (It wasn’t, bitch was just crazy).

Really?

My husband once did a family road trip with 6 adults and 7 kids in an Astrovan. They took out the middle seat and put a mattress down.

On a trip to visit my family in Ohio when I was 7, we decided late on a stormy Friday night (so probably at like 9:30) to go bowling. My brother, my cousins BJ and Brett, and I piled into the back of our rented Buick Skylark, so it was super cramped. Halfway there, my brother projectile vomited. My brother was sick…

You win. This is basically an amalgamation of all the worst road trips I took with my family, plus moving when you are 13 is the motherfucking pits.

Yeah, it’s pretty common for white Americans to claim Native heritage. And genealogically, it might even be true. But they aren’t enrolled citizens of tribes, and they are usually almost entirely ignorant of the culture, so it’s pretty disingenuous for them to go around claiming to be Navajo or Cherokee (it is almost…

Yeah, it seems like a lot of cases of ethnic fraud are white people pretending to be Native.

I honestly haven’t seen any hate directed at her. It’s more like stunned confusion/hilarity.

Asa Earl Carter is the only one I can think of. Oh, and the crying Indian from the commercials in the 70s.

I know a woman who threw a baby shower for her daughter, and when the daughter had major complications and was hospitalized she refused to cancel or move the shower and just opened all the presents herself. Someone suggested that they take all the presents to the hospital and let the mother-to-be open them while they…
