Good grief, man.

I remember all the zany skits with the old people walking funny and the guy going "Fuggidaboutit, Dave!", but that's something else.

I mean not sure I'd consider that one 100% successful, but that seems to have been thier frequent defense over the years.

once, when i was very high, i wandered into a supermarket and asked if aunt jemima and uncle ben were married, and whose aunt and uncle they were, anyway. it was an armenian supermarket, and nobody knew.

Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure that Healthy Choice's "Asian-styled" dinners are called that only because they include rice.

Pleasant Plains, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 21:17 (twelve years ago) link

Meh, they're 'Asian inspired'. All their food is 'inspired' by real food and then blandized.

Pro tip: California, Cambodia and Vietnamese rice crops of spring/summer 2011 are extremely high in yield and even higher in quality. If you're into jasmine, stock up.

remy I thought california grew cal rose primarily?

dayo, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 23:29 (twelve years ago) link

It does, D. I meant that all rice was very available and good, and especially jasmine (because I like it). Prices are pretty wild, though –– a 50 lb. now costs something like $12- 15 dollars more a bag, on average, than a year ago. And with a good crop!?

I mean, to try that in this day and age, you really have to hand it to them

Are those prices based on some "data" email forwards or something, or are they a just a reflection of the hierarchy of races in the mind of the college republican?

I kind of wonder to what degree these people understand their own opinions. It sound like a terrible thing to say, but they never seem to understand the consequences etc. of such a view.

Interesting comments on the Melb Age article on this event.

Normally, you see Aussies defending crappy racist "jokes" and whatever esp in newspaper comments, but curiously in this one most people are angry about it, and one lone voice of (embarrasingly nasty) dissent is a white woman claiming to be from NYC.

No wonder the United States has lost it's hegemony in advanced education. They've been dumbing down the Universities and school system for the best part of 50 years now - as we have in Australia. The whole system has been devalued with this political correctness idea that no-one should get an "F" and thus we have the situation where 16 year-old are learning the maths I'd mastered in 3rd Grade.

What does this have to do with racism?

you have lost you'r hegemony in comprehension

it is worth noting that the UC system does have not (de jure) affirmative action (there is a little bit of de facto.) so this is an affirmative action protest at a school where most of the black people are there out of sportsffirmative action - pretty sure most of the BCR are fine with the football team.

iatee, Monday, 26 September 2011 01:28 (twelve years ago) link

yeah not really sure what they're protesting tbh
