I’m sorry your brother doesn't get it, but I'm glad you're in a better place. 

I love, love, love that people are being more open about depression and anxiety. I’ve been living with both since the 80s, but didn’t know what it was for a long time, and then when I did, I didn’t want to be called crazy, so I hid it until I damn near had a breakdown when I was 28 and finally asked for help.

Like after the Civil War.

So, what are the seven other states?

I’m sure Virginia isn’t the only state to still carry these distinctions on their books.

oh, yeah. that. I remember when I got married and my wife and i were looking at the form with a “wtf is all of this?” set of faces.

Afew houses ago, I bought a house on an older plot of land in Lexington County, SC. The land deed said on it that only pure whites are allowed to hold title and live on the property except for slaves and servants. The “and servants” was obviously added by a 1920s typewriter.

This thing is clearly racist as fuck, but I had to chuckle at all the many bizarre options for whites: American (assuming they meant this one for whites and not American Indians or “Red” dear god), White American, Aryan, Blanc (???), or Teutonic.

Seems like the legislature should have fixed this a long time ago.

That list included the following designations: American, Aryan, Blanc, Hebrew, Islamic, Israelite, Jew, Mestizo, Mulatto, Nordic, Octoroon, Quadroon, Red, Teutonic and White American.

Sseriously. It's awful. 

I had to go to wikipedia...

Only God can judge, to wish ill will on another is ..... just smh over your post. I guess that you've only lived a PERFECT life?

So, what I’m hearing is that Kevin deserved massive bodily trauma in exchange for literally only hurting people’s feelings.

Your use of karma is incorrect.

You don't hope for someone's speedy recovery when you start off with "you deserved this". 

I really like the features but The Stacks continues to delegate proofreading to the OCR software.

Oh, great. Another story about a white guy.
