I think I phrased things pretty poorly though, based on the replies I received.

Resisting the urge to correct the nationality of those trolls, resisting the urge to correct the nationality of those trolls…

Maybe when they were deciding on their characters, he was drawing a blank until he looked up and saw a "Hang In There, Baby" poster on the wall.

God, you get the upvotes, while I get piled on for not sufficiently feeling the Bern. I thought it would be clear that "I'd have guessed…, but" meant I wasn't making that conclusion. But you can't say there isn't something funny about the attempted fist-bumps in those videos. Still, Mike and Bernie's America is one…

Honestly, if this video was representative of the political discourse in America, I'd pack my bags today before even calling the person who offered me a job in the country.

I wasn't trying to question that.

I'm wasn't saying it was a calculated move, just that in a different context it could come off as a particularly obvious one. But this isn't Hillary and Mystical, as another person replying to me said.

Actually, I agree with you, and didn't mean to imply that it was really that kind of thing, considering Killer Mike's political-mindedness and the relative decency of the Sander's campaign. I guess the number of racially-coded things in the video just got my attention as I was recently in the US visiting a biracial…

If I was Taqu'il, I wouldn't.

I'd have guessed this was a calculated move to appeal to a certain demographic the Sander's campaign has struggled with, but you'd think the campaign could have come up with something less on-the-nose than an interview with a rapper in a barbershop in Atlanta.

Well, it's not German, but there are plenty of umlauts* to make up for that: https://en.m.wiktionary.org…ötähäpeä

Maybe Brooklyn 88?

I'd say there can be some legitimate tension between Finns and Swedes, who have a more complicated history between them. For example, politicians who support keeping Swedish as a mandatory language in Finnish schools have received death threats. But that's more to do with the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland,…

I'd really wish that type of behavior would associated with people who are asshole attention seekers, and not the go-to explanation for many when encountering someone who doesn't come off as what they'd expect someone with Asperger's etc. to be like.

Unfortunately only one of the stores had that name.

I once walked a few blocks down a street in fashionable part of Berlin that had three different stores that made Beastie Boys references in their names or advertising. None were referencing particularly deep cuts, and I didn't see any other hip-hop artists similarly commemorated.

I'd like to think that they'd be able to provide each other support in that community, but as even in terms of people who molest children, a large percentage aren't actually pedophiles, and there are many other circumstances that can lead to a person becoming a registered sex offender. So they might not have much in…

I think it's a good sign, by which I mean that because few countries consider pedophilia a capital crime or something and those people are expected to return to society at one point, and that's not really possible if society does not recognize their humanity.

My parents have a rescue dog, and it took a long time for him to learn that he didn't have to look for puddles to drink water out of anymore all the time. Now they give him soured milk sometimes (the dog loves it and they say it's good for him), but if they make the mistake of buying the 1% fat kind instead of whole,…

You'd think individual episode reviews would allow for discussion focused on things like characters, plot, and tone, but if you express some criticism in TV Club comments about those things and people disagree with it and there's any way of jumping into conclusions about your ideology based on that criticism, that…
