This guy filmed this, uploaded it to his computer, edited it, uploaded it to Youtube, made a thumbnail and description for it and never once thought this way in bad taste, so fuck this guy and his apology.

And I bet you he also thought it was okay since the body wasn’t of a white person.

I was watching her stand-up while I worked (it’s 10:30 pm and I’m still at the office), and I started bawling when she was cursing happiness on everyone at the end of her show cause it’s been a hard few weeks and I really needed that. She’s absolutely amazing, and I hope we see her more everywhere.

I used to live on a military base and at the movie theater they would play the national anthem over a patriotic military-themed video. That’s in additional to the anthem over the loud speakers at 4:30 pm every day, and if you were outside/driving you had to stop what you were doing. Fun stuff.

I had a coworker back when I lived in Chicago who told me that she was trying to figure out how to afford to put her kids in a private religious-based school because she basically thought the same thing as the article mentioned above. I was absolutely baffled by her logic.

I fucking love Kacey Musgraves. Strangly her songs have been part of a friend’s funeral and my wedding.

During my wedding, the WWII vet who lived next to where the reception tent was rode his riding lawn mower into the area right when I was about to walk down the aisle. I saw it happen way too many times in 2016.

When I was little, I spent almost every summer at my Japanese grandparent’s house. There was a temple right behind it, and in Japan having a temple also meant you had graves. I never went into that temple much growing up because they were more our neighbors than anything and being a generally good kid, I didn’t want…

The spot where they had their first kiss is on 53rd St. in Chicago and is commemorated with a plaque on a rock. It’s on the corner of a shopping center. I miss living in Hyde Park and the local Walgreens being the self-anointed Obama Central.

When my Japanese mom found out I got tattoos her first reaction was “you’re not yakuza, why would you get a tattoo” then the second was “you’re not going to be able to go to the onsen.” But lucky for her, her heathen daughter got small tattoos that can be covered by bandaids.

Courtney Stodden is a 40 year old PhD professor doing an in-depth sociological study.

The “tattoos are for yakuza” stigma is still so strong in Japan. My (Japanese) mom FREAKED OUT when I got a small tat in college, literally first thing she yelled at me was “You’re not yakuza!” Anyway, I do think that the idea that tattoos are correlated with organized crime is a big part of this, even though many of…

Well they already do this with stuff that’s obviously gluten free, such as chicken...

Totally agree. My dad was career AF and went on tons of deployments but we’ve never had any kind of dramatic reunion, and to be honest my dad would have said no. He wouldn’t even tell us when he would be coming home (even if we asked) not out of surprise but because he never knew, and then he would usually just call…

I lived in Edwards AFB when I was a kid. It’s the worst place my family has ever lived (and I currently live in Cleveland), and there was always weird shit happening there too.

My friend bought be an R2D2 pizza cutter for Christmas. Makes noise and everything, but now that I have digestive issues and can’t eat pizza I can’t use it, so so sad.

I think a lot of it also has to do with the content of a lot of female country songs. For females you have Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert singing about being “badass” and taking bats to cars (although that is my karaoke jam) on one spectrum, then crap like “God Made Girls” and “Love Me Like You Mean It” on the…

I hate going through Midway, I don't understand how they only have one security entrance for such a busy airport. I tried to get on a standby flight once so I was there from 3 or 4 am and wanted to die cause there aren't many places to sit and nowhere to get food except for the tiny little kiosk downstairs by the…

Same, I'm half Japanese and half Caucasian and had to deal with ignorant stuff all the time (even now unfortunately). It gets exhausting trying to explain to people that you're "enough" of their culture. I love both of my cultures and feel like I embody both equally but it really is difficult sometimes.

I'm hafu with a white American father and Japanese mother. When I was younger I looked obviously mixed and I was treated like a novelty, and now that I'm an adult and look more Caucasian, it is EXHAUSTING to try to "prove" to Japanese people that I'm "Japanese enough". In the US I worked at a Japanese company and…

I don't know what your definition of "common" is, but it's infuriating that 1) you make it out like everyone in Japan is driving an anime car and 2) that you're perpetuating this "weird Japan" stereotype. Just cause we're a different culture doesn't mean you get to fetishize our small cultural subsets and make it a…
