All I have to do is ask myself how I felt, when living in Korea, about the dude (Korean) who learned culinary arts in the US and ran a Chinese restaurant that made amazing Americanized stuff. He didn’t have much success with that, because it was Chinese food not made to Korean tastes, but he ended up opening several…

Do you think if the media loses interest in the “who’s kneeling or protesting the anthem today” story that Kaep would get hired?

I think the distinction lies on how close to the line of minstrelsy or war-cries you get, with a hefty pinch of how those blackfaces and headdresses have been used in the past to demean.

Everything you wrote is horseshit. Kap has said that he wouldn’t kneel for the anthem, so what are the media going to ask? Where’s the “distraction” going to come from?

Cutler is actually a perfect analogy. His perceived baggage exceeded the contribution most clubs could expect him to make to their team over the course of the season as a backup.

Kaepernick doesn’t have a job because his skill isn’t enough to offset (a) the various layers of drama he’d be bringing to the team in question, and (b) the pricetag he’s likely expecting.

So you’re praising the decisionmaking ability of an owner who, in your estimation, says “fuck you” to the GOAT? Okay. Nice, piping hot take.

Perhaps that’s why so many Americans fail to understand how cultural appropriation can be damaging: they see their own (generally white) culture being replicated everywhere and think turnabout is fair play.

What an enlightening reply.

Who really gives them credit for any of these things you mentioned, though?

Cornrows on black women are deemed “ghetto”, or “hood”, however, on white women like Katy Perry, or the Kardashians, they’re deemed as edgy and cool, and get dubbed ridiculous names such as “boxer braids”.

...but in the grand scheme of things, does this really matter?

These takes, though, disregard the actual logic at hand, which doesn’t treat modern history as a level playing field.

If you’re the owner of that supermarket, you almost certainly have insurance. Let them fucking handle it. That’s why insurance exists. Looting food from a supermarket during a major natural disaster is actually more reasonable than wasting your time calling the cops on said looters when you could be, you know, doing…

So, you’re arguing that Light should have been Japanese, right? Not just “Asian”?

I mean the reason he didn’t run this fight was clearly because he didn’t view McGregor as a real threat.

Sooooo doesn’t D&D take place in a medieval setting?

So the vast majority of these units are definitely going to neckbeard “collectors,” right? (Like, the people who put up tours of their ridiculous game rooms on Youtube, but never seem to show themselves actually playing games.)

I just don’t understand this. It’s incredibly beautiful! But the entire point of a Maybach, in my view, has always been that you’re chauffeured around in it. Anyone who drives their own Maybach—yes, even a cabriolet version—is a joke.
