1) I wasn’t aware legitimate grievances, such as having my American-ness and loyalties questioned because of our skin color, having my language mocked, being denied opportunities, etc. were “whining”.

Wait REALLY?!?! They wouldn’t trust you to punch in numbers into a cash register because you didn’t adhere to their racist standards?! That’s amazing. Did you tell them you don’t trust them to buy anything in the store unsupervised because they were obviously damaged goods themselves?!

I have in-laws who are white women married to my Japanese- American siblings and cousins. The ones who changed their names get the Asian prejudices even though they are lily white.

FWIW, Melvin Kaminsky is an awesome name.

Meanwhile the ones actually stealing from them are the charlatans like Joel Osteen (or any other religious org), Glenn Beck/Goldline/survival rations/gun companies, and every talking head on Fox telling them the browns are coming for them.

Long, long history of that in Hollywood. Huge numbers of actors had to change their names to get famous, both for racist reason (their name was very “ethnic” and Hollywood hates that) or because their name was hard to pronounce.

In the 90s, we used to wear sweatshirts and turtlenecks out to college bars.

God, I love Woody. He’s been low-key so good in so many things for so many years. Is Woody Harrelson my favorite actor? I think he might be.

I’m calling it now: that kid will rebel against his or her parents by growing up to become an accountant.

She’s the spokesperson for how to spend as much as possible to eat as little surrounded by the most useless things available.

He had sex. That’s all he did. She is going to have a child.

Speidi’s kid is going to rebel by becoming a total technophobe, refusing to use social media, and ultimately end up moving to a remote cabin with no electricity and running water.

An over abundance of people with their heads firmly embedded up their asses is exactly how we got here today.

Per the interwebz, the definition of Pratt is “A stupid or foolish person” so +1 for the interwebz.
