She's just full of lame insults. I listed 7 of them that she just made up. Now she says I have reading comp problems as well... So at least 8 made up shit.

"the point of the meal, to the restaurant and other customers, is not you taking photos. That lighting is romantic and pleasant."

You said that "the point of the meal is that the lighting is romantic and pleasant." You didn't say that the point of the meal is the food and the ability to actually clearly see the food one is eating.

1. I photograph every moment of my life. 2. I do not tip. 3. I can't afford high-end restaurants. 4. I'm pissy because of, Blooming Onion? What is that? 5. I eat at chains. 6. I brag to friends. 7. I'm an Anti-Semite.

Haha.

Dorian Grey? WTF?

?? You some sort of photo Nazi? I'll take photos where I want. And if waitresses like the author object, fucking less tip.

All you need is lots of light and positioning. Which is why my pics of home-cooked meals are usually the best.

I love looking at good restaurant food pics and people like looking at mine. And all you need for them to be good is good lighting and positioning. Though, at fancy places, usually the lighting is horrible. Couples aren't gonna start making out in restaurants, so not sure why they basically blacken out the place in…

Did people say this before the last two games? I didn't notice it.

Yeah, corporations and chains, not drive thrus. Which make Chipotles and Five Guys fast food, even though they don't have drive thrus.

Drive thrus are a typically American thing. So there's no fast food in Europe or Mexico?

One thing that made the DR different was that it was a fringe area. It was poor whites and poor blacks who raised cattle, not sugar plantations. Blacks and whites lived comparatively similar lives and had comparatively similar status. So when next-door French Haiti rose to become a sugar powerhouse fueled by African…

Good grief. Read the fricking article above. "black" is not a generalized color to describe all people of darker skin. If you can't even read the article you are commenting on, I guess books are out of the question too. So, keep being stupid if you want.

Dude. You are a black AMERICAN. You're not from Brazil or Mexico or the DR. I'm saying their conception of race is different, whether you like it or not. You know Mexico had a black president in 1829, right? Could that have happened in the US? No. Why was it different in Mexico?

Good grief. Now you're just being a ignorant gringo. If you can't go live south of the border, read about it. Why not start with the one mentioned in the article by Lilia Moritz Schwarcz about Brazil? I could recommend you a book about race in the Dominican Republic if you want, since you are so obsessed with Sousa.

You didn't read a single thing I wrote! If you wanna insist that only the US understanding of race is the correct one—a rather arrogant, colonialist attitude—ok. I can't stop you.

Except, as the article suggests, concepts of "race" aren't the same all over the world. You are applying the US conception unto other cultures with different histories. There's historical reasons why Dominicans, especially, do not usually call themselves "black."

He spelled "Aerolíneas Argentinas" wrong too, btw. Just sayin.

How many 100-year-old French horn players do you know?
