Thus doubling its population. Although you can say that of anything that happens in North Dakota.

Black Redditors - Whats your most awkward racist moment? Heres mine by Timmytanks40in AskReddit

[–]wesmwatson -1 points0 points ago

I'll be the first to admit white folks don't really get the brunt of it, but I think that as a direct result of the fact that it's inappropriate for us to be indignant white people tend to have more of a sense of humor about racism. And frankly, as someone with mostly Irish blood, I genuinely believe we drink more than others. Half my family is alcoholic, and my first time drinking I did 10 shots and woke up feeling fine. Some things are just genetic.

Was this followed by a hilarious dance-off in which the white protagonist turns out to be a great dancer despite stereotypes about white people being bad at dancing?

I was the politically correct white kid in high school. Once I was telling my friends to stop being assholes, because not all black people ate tons of friend chicken all the time. We walk out of the classroom and lo and behold, here's this black dude sitting on the steps with an enormous bucket of fried chicken. I mean, bigger than those big KFC buckets.

I actually believe the guy, but I'm still upvoting this for the effort. The last sentence was nicely executed.

My mom had no idea until the other night that there was a difference between Middle-Eastern and Indian. She thought it was like white and Caucasian. Good luck, friend.

The way you put it, being native sounds kinda sweet, actually...

I disagree. Yes, they're selling "Native-style" clothes, and yes, I suppose a lot of hipsters buy them (such a stupid word to begin with). But my parents didn't get offended when 60's style clothes came back. As a European, I'm not gonna get up in arms if some black or Mexican kids decide that dressing like Queen Victoria is the next big thing. So a bunch of designers thought your ancestors wore cool shit and designed some shoes based off what they wore. Even if that's not it, if you're offended by their ignorance, I've got news: they're hipsters. Lots of people think they're ignorant. Capitalism goes against their beliefs? Refer back to the 60's example. I'm not gonna say that Native Americans didn't get the short end of the stick, but I do believe that some can be unnecessarily indignant at times.

Well yeah, but in America blacks have such a long history of being- oh.

Here's what Urban Outfitters sells in the UK by worthin malefashionadvice

[–]wesmwatson 0 points1 point ago

The city of San Francisco's pretty awesome. Some of the surrounding metro area is so-so, like Oakland and San Jose, but pretty much everything within 200 miles south of it on highway 1 is amazing (Big Sur, Monterey, Santa Cruz, etc, not sure how well known they are outside California). For bonus points, some of the best wine in the world is made just north of SF. And as for those three things you brought up, I guarantee there are clothes, queers, and coffee galore. If you can ever find a job out here, take it!

Just kidding, get your ass out to San Francisco ;)

In the first paragraph he says the governor of Michigan was Epaphroditious Ransom, but in the caption below the portrait of John Tyler it says his name was Ephraditious Ransom. Amateur.

If you told me I could see one of the 3 billion adult women in this world naked, completely at random, I would decline faster than you can say "it's probably not Emma Watson."

Old is unattractive. It's hardwired into your brain and there's no denying that.

Haha, well, Germany is certainly the strongest economy in the region. More citizens and higher GDP than France. It only makes sense that they'd hold the most clout.

Not gonna lie, I used to get organic food and put it into the self checkout as regular. I learned it from an askreddit thread, too

You should see if the Optifine guy wants to integrate this into it. And yes, definitely. Maybe do the same with water and fence posts...

Based on this information I'm an elderly woman with a 12th grade education. Huh. Guess I should take up knitting.

You know what I saw on the cover of The Economist this week? "The Merkozy plan." And I'm thinking, huh, wonder who that is. Sounds familiar. And then it hit me that the Brangelina thing has finally wormed its way into politics. Jesus. Anyway, tangent over.
