This was always where this story was headed.

That’s how being biracial works. And in my experience, it even goes both ways - that reaction moreso from people who lack cultural understanding or empathy.

Does ‘Run with the wind’ take the time to explain why Musa’s sitting seiza in the ‘hidden talent’ screencap, or does it take it for granted? I’ve never seen it, and presently assume it’s the latter.

...there’s a whole lot more at play here than just the (painfully!) American take on it. Basically, it’s not bad so much as really weird to assume Japanese and American racism work similarly enough to comment on them in the same way, when even just the concept of whitewashing plays out completely differently (the…

The desire for white nationalism fills a void that’s created by the problems of being a young country. It’s why it gets combined with PATRIOTISM!! so often.

No one wants to get blood on their hands. That’s what he’s taking advantage of.

It’s an indication of the times we live in that we’re all more shocked by the GOP actually doing something about this sort of thing (hatred, bigotry, racism, etc...) than by what King did this time.

That’s about as fine a tribute as a stranger can get. I like it.

It won’t end with more diversity. The faces sneering as they apply their boot to a face change, but the boot doesn’t. There’s something inherently twisted in the American experience - I think it stems from a base need to believe in an ‘origin story’ type of myth, in a country that’s less than 300 years old.

Shorter Blake: You’re the real racist if you even talk about racism, and it’s your fault that racism is a thing—not the people who are actually racists and bigots.

In his condition, may he enjoy a minimum of two IFR landings in the real world (as opposed to his own, where climate change doesn’t exist).

Satire is either dead, or in the dark age and written by Frank Miller. I’d avoid it entirely.

Yeah, the old version’s better.

Is it anal time already?

There are worse prospective choices for sequels. I guess I’m gonna go see it when it comes out? Just... gonna hang out on top of this fence for a while first - balancing.

...in hindsight, I seem to have had a very quiet public school education. This is, like, a 540 degree turn from what my middle school was like. Good teachers, too.

...I hope that, when he is in grad school and no one can tell him how to wear his hair, he will remember this moment and smile before tossing his manful dreadlocks from side to side. But that’s a few years away yet, so in the meantime I feel nothing but a quiet rage for how he’s being treated when he’s still too young…

At this point, I’m surprised there isn’t a pool or anything to buy you that bucket. You’d then eat a serving of that lies-&-cheese and, in the interest of informing the world of your experience, report back on how it tastes. Call it “Chef OHGODWHYPEOPLE” or something. (Then the feedback begins, on how to improve it to…

Let me tell you a story...

Nice, man!
