Welcome to the Middle American paradox. I’ve been saying this for years: to many of these people, hatred of the other is more important than their own well-being.

“They’re also a group that will bitch constantly about those welfare cheats and entitlement program recipients, yet have no problem taking tens or hundredsof thousands of government subsidy dollars annually to keep their farm afloat. Claiming that they “deserve it” because “we feed America.””
Rural people know they’re on the low end of the scale for opportunities for a better life. They express it through hatred. They hate anyone who they think is getting something free from they government because they think they should get free shit and they’re jealous. They hate illegal immigrants because those people…
Speaking as someone who interacts with (frequently crazy) members of the public at work, you really do have to depersonalize it. If I took to heart everything a “customer” screamed at me, I’d have a nervous breakdown.
Depends on where you go. But I have no intention of revealing where *I* go as I have no desire to see her whiny squinchy racist face when I’m trying to relax and catch up on the reading and the email and get my pedi.
I cannot process these “you better speak English” patriots. How can you love America, and not respect the freedom to speak whatever language you want? What is it that they love about America?
And it’s not exactly a false stereotype for a nail salon. If you have a problem with accents, don’t go to nail salons, Chinese (or just about any foreign) restaurants, international food stores, bodegas...in fact - don’t go anywhere. We won’t miss your racist ass.
What I don’t get about any of these racist ass racist wypipo blow-ups is this;
Like, not directly. There’s no pothole god who creates potholes in anger everytime a corporation pays less tax.
How is this not graffiti? If I go and spray on the pavement I’m going to be, at the very least, fined. This is just a dumb advertising/publicity stunt - if they wanted better roads they could stop trying to weasel out of taxation.
Kinda poetic actually. Tax breaks for corporations are part of the problem and now some of the resulting issues have landed back in their court again to fix.
Further proof of two things.
That’s a very good point.
There are two qualities to Bourdain that I try to emulate everyday:
Thank you, Damon. I was always floored by Tony’s down-to-earth enthusiasm for all of the things that make humans good BECAUSE of diverse and textured culture. People aren’t people because they’re one thing. We are people because we are all kinds of things. We are all different and unique and powerful and capable…
Asshole gamers do this so much then those incels wonder why the only female interaction they get is from the Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball body pillow they imported. What purpose does it serve to be an asshole like this over a video game, other than just to be an asshole?
Convince game companies to actually punish people for saying shit like this. Like zero tolerance policies. You do this even once perma-banned.
It’s funny you mention that since Louie C.K. pretty much predicted that in a joke about time travel. Basically the set-up for the joke is that one of the perks for being white is that he can travel to any time period and be “okay.”
If you were REALLY inferiority they wouldn’t have to work so hard to so hard to prove it with advertising, tv, erasing your history, lies about your culture.
