That is literally what we did in World War II.

And that’s both the danger and the purpose of dogwhistles - they signal something to racists, but to those who aren’t racist but haven’t really examined things, they sound just reasonable enough to be repeated.  Then someone calls out the dogwhistle, and since the person who said it (this time) didn’t intend anything…

I’m white, and I’m sickened by the idea of mayonnaise ice cream.

Does Blizzard charge directly for the pop culture reference? Or do you pay Blizzard for the game they made, and it just happens to have pop culture references?

We go through this shit every few election cycles. The party out of power looks around desperately for someone, anyone, who might have a chance of taking the White House. Members of that party talk up how great their ‘bench’ is, how many wonderful candidates they could be running the next time the election comes…

It’s also a problem because, unlike cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and sex, we don’t have decades (or more) of socialization telling is where it is or isn’t appropriate to do these things.  So students who know damn well to hide the bathroom when they smoke vape right in class then get angry at the teacher when they’re…

“I know words, I have the best words.”

Because anything we can label political correctness allows us to reinforce the idea that the left is full of crazy people looking around for things to be offended by. And if the left is just looking for things to be offended by, then their offense isn’t actually real, it’s just a political stunt. And then we can…

Ah, good.  It was getting too difficult for police to shoot people and not face consequences for their actions.

This jackass meant to offend, then got upset people were offended.

Sadly, it was this shit with Hart, and the perennial “Is ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ a date-rape song” debate, that made me realize my parents genuinely believe there is a roving band of outrage seekers, desperately looking for things to be angry about so they can silence anyone who disagrees with them. Even more…

It’s probably meant to imply that, because ‘Indians’ are ‘prone to being drunks’ they didn’t hold her drunk driving convictions against her. (Both of those are in quotes to indicate that they are part of the racial stereotype the Economist was likely, intentionally or otherwise, thinking of when they wrote this…

I’m sorry, you apparently haven’t been informed.

Including what we would, with modern eyes, call fraudulent letters (attributed to Paul) that conveniently told slaves to stay slaves and women to stay out of church.

This is as good a place as any to ask: Why do people keep giving this failure a platform?

Wait.

But maybe don’t check that movie out, as it’s worse than the original in almost every way and misses the point of the original story to set up an unnecessary sequel that is probably Statham’s worst film.

I have nothing of substance to say here.

For however many of my fellow white people who are A. reading this and B. not hopelessly racist morons:

I’m not sure what world Kevin Hart lives in.
