Do you have any evidence of him actually misrepresenting things, or are you just assuming it?

Harris was white, but the people he got the stories from were black. And what exactly makes it a minstrel show character? 

I’m not sure, since I haven’t seen the film myself, but since every summary seems to mention it I assume it’s in there somewhere. 

But the issue here is that there isn’t a shared understanding. There wasn’t some universally-understood redefinition of the word rice. Language is flexible, but that doesn’t mean you can just call things whatever you want. If you take a jar of orange marmalade and call it lemon curd at the grocery store, you’re going…

I haven’t seen the film myself, but enough summaries say it’s set then that I assume it says something to that effect at some point.

Wait, isn’t Song of the South set during reconstruction? Remus is a sharecropper, not a slave. 

Everything about W’Kabi’s role in the movie was horrible, like the whole “I’m a big fan of Killmonger because he killed Klaue, even though the king knows Killmonger worked with Klaue and broke him out of prison” plotline. 

It’s like you somehow believe that continuing to insult me will change the way words work. If standard rules of English mean the title means something, most people will assume that title is accurate. The only way you could read “cauliflower rice” and instantly assume it is what it actually is is if you don’t…

Hey, my very limited understanding of mid-20th century politics is finally useful.

This isn’t a matter of literacy. The problem isn’t misunderstanding the words, it’s the words being used in a nonstandard way.

If you ordered butter chicken, and found out that instead of a dish featuring both chicken and butter they gave you butter shaped and prepared in such a way that it resembled chicken, you’d feel misled. 

Food names are generally literal. If you order a bacon cheeseburger, you expect bacon, cheese, and a burger. If you instead received bacon chopped up so that it resembled a burger (which in a sense is basically a lion’s head meatball) you’d be peeved. 

nor any real risk of customers being deceived,

You shouldn’t have to read the ingredient list to find out the name of the food is a lie. 

It’s weird how so many people just kind of overlook Lindsay’s abusive behavior. The gaslighting, the infidelity, etc. If Paul had punched Lindsay I think the fanbase would be happy to see him thrown in jail, but Lindsay stabs Paul and it’s no big deal. 

Food names are traditionally, unless given reason to believe otherwise, pretty literal. If you see a bag of frozen food labeled beer-battered fish, you expect fish covered in a beer-flavored batter. Making up a non-literal name for a dish when the literal interpretation is also a real thing people eat is just moronic.

Have you never played Guitar Hero? Or used your other fingers to type?

I think there’s room for incorporating our other fingers, they’re just sitting there as is. 

Plus, urine is unpleasant but not especially germ-heavy. And don’t the rumors have him in a voyeuristic role, rather than physically touching it?

Mueller didn’t clear him, he said he didn’t have enough evidence to do anything himself and that Congress should deal with it.
