o_O 3: Business as (un)usual

I heard about this a couple of months ago, on some podcast or other. And I thought to myself, "While every other white guy in the world has a weird fetish for Asian and especially Japanese women, my strange and possibly racist aversion to them will finally work to my advantage."

ahhh...sweet. Oddly the first thing that I pinned as 80s was the digital watch. I had to look again before i noticed old mcdonalds cups and then old styrofoam mcdonalds boxes.

Tempted to post to Is This Racist thread: "Chen usually rested between sessions by leaning back in a chair or putting his head on a table, a skill library-frequenting Asians are particularly known for the world over". Or, uh, any student on a marathon session, amongst others?

the writers are asian. just a bit of self-deprecating humor!

Yeah, I figured, but it just conjures up images of, oh god, what was that awful youtube with that horrible racist girl?

this?

That's the one. Ugh. Caek's link did make me lol, though.

but while we're at it, I thought this was kinda racist

because, you see, all asians are good at sciences, hurr hurr

I like science so I like to say I'm "kind of a little asian"

wait, no, I do not.

Right now we have researchers studying microbes living in toxic waste lakes resulting from old copper mines. Next up: alien bacteria living off of hog manure.

between this and the rolling stone article about hog farms, I am never eating pork again

you say that now, but don't forget delicious, delicious pork belly

explosive bacterial black shit pit foam vs. tacos

oh alright *eats a taco*

tbf that looks a lot like the mold that grows in the corner of my shower if it's too humid and I don't run the fan

is that what max was posting about

sometimes I think about starting a thread where we invent walking-the-line, almost racist Lin headlines. Then I think better of it.

Why is the music 'Eye of the Tiger' when it's a cheetah? Do all big cats look the same to them? Is it racist?

lol, my friend was so pissed off that it was Eye of the Tiger

they do change the lyrics to "eye of the cat man" at least once.

Holy shit.

oh ffs

someone explain?

I mean, I get the wild inappropriateness of the metaphor but what's the issue at question

well something about football apparently, so it's hard to imagine an explanation that would suffice or matter

oh yeah totally - I'm just really curious as to what supposed kerfluffle deserves to be compared to gang rape!

someone lost a match

they were bought by an icelandic consortium & generally mismanaged
