my miniature dachshund barks like a madman at any dog he sees. once he gets face-to-face with another dog he warms up to them after a minute or two of acting like a tough guy.
when he sees other dachshunds, he doesn't bark at all. in fact, he acts like he's known the other dachshunds forever, even if they just met.
IS MY DOG RACIST?

is your dog exerting power/influence over these other dogs?

that comic would be more interesting if he would not just show from a distance chinese ppl acting differently than westerners but make an effort to explain their point of view; if he doesn't know then he would have to stick his neck out and talk to them i guess.

well, more than a hoax; it's a satirical protest of NYPD's racial profiling

Well yeah! This just seemed like a good thread to stick it on
Off-topic but it's kind of eerie how Milo Bloom's hair has become the default "cool guy's haircut" you see in London for the past, oh, year and a half. It's like the barbers studied the strips.

But sort of back on topic, one of my colleagues (who is black) told me last week that her son's school requires him to keep his hair at least two inches long???!!! Like, there's a school rule about it. And of course her son HATES this with a burning white-hot hate because hair that long is..... not exactly in among the London yoot

business insider writes it up:
erry Malloy, the author of the "Three Strikes, You're In!" press release, told Business Insider that the parody initiative was launched to draw attention to the Stop-and-Frisk program and the innocent people that it targets. According to him, the parody turns the Stop-and-Frisk program "into a game with a delightful prize."

Those boxer shorts just have a bunch of old clip art of camels, from the nineteenth century, judging from the style, and the great majority of the camels are riderless, although I did see one camel that had a rider in a burnoose, which seems more of an accidental artifact of the clip art source than the main point of the design. The artist who designed them probably had nothing more in mind than 'camels look cool' and 'this clip art is free' and 'maybe people will buy these'.
― Aimless, Wednesday, 7 March 2012 19:54 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i don't really get what is even orientalism about these shorts unless you believe ppl riding camels on shorts are always an example of orientalism? i get that maybe part of their appeal rests of the exoticism of, say, camels over horses. tho there are plenty of shorts with horses on them.
