like when the brooklyn nets win, it's a 1/3 victory for hip-hop

also a 2/3 victory for russia

yee, come on, that's right, check

when did fig newtons stop being so chesty?

that's right, come on, yee

chest newtons losing market share to a competitor's fig-based newton product forced a shift in the national biscuit company's game plan

^ business

the best is i'll be talking about being persian and my friends will be like "oh come on, you're white". and i'm like, WTF man, i'm not white. look at me! and then they're like, no, you're white, you're from the wealthy coastal suburbs and you wear j crew and you have no accent. you're white!

so white people get to decide when i'm white, ie when it suits them for me to be white.

To be fair, if your really Persian (and not one of the ethnic minorities of Iran, then you're definitely Aryan. The Shah was always fond of pointing that out.

you're

rap songs with white people singing

ha, never really thought about it, but this is another great example of the marginalization of R&B. Scabs like Skylar Grey and Matthew Santos are stealing all the prime guest spots

this is a much better, more persuasive and more succinct argument for ending "white" as an insult

this guy makes a convincing argument but i dunno, i've been told not to trust them there "trumblr whites"

in all seriousness, though, as much as nabs covers the main thing that's odious about that stuff, one of the other things that i find obnoxious about white people using "white" as an insult is the otherizing of your own race, like 'oh i'm white but it's okay i listen to rap and watch chappelle's show, that guy is WHITE white' which is just like a more passive way of pulling some 'black on the inside' bullshit.

plus it's just fucking stupid

nitsuh is not white

hoos is mexican, dude

hoos is twin spirited

to be fair, if you're really persian then you're probably hot

yes. my new thing is just to shout YOU'RE LYING when white people tell me they think of me as white.

for better or worse, i think of you as buffalonian

I met a girl last week who, after I told her my name, said "that is so spiritual"

haaaa

p sure that's racist

oh well

horseshoe does anyone ever call you "nebula"

'the horse's hoe nebula'

I believe in spiritual last names

wait, thinking of me as buffalonian is not racist, to clarify, that is just true. telling an indian dude his name is "spiritual" is smurfy as hell and also a little racist.

dang I want a spiritual last name, feel so wite rite now

indians hunted buffalo, but not those kind of indians and not that kind of buffalo. so i think it is racist.

or i'm racist, i dunno.

no one has ever called me nebula to my recollection. recently a student told me i look like velma from scooby doo, which is too true for contradiction. also not racist.

has anyone ever complimented you on your mastery of english?

(i was present when this happened to my friend pratik)

that one has happened a number of times, and one time it was in the middle of the strangest-attempt-to-racially-place me encounter of my life. when i finally told this crazy and rude lady my parents were indian she said, "wow, you speak really well English."

I get asked where I am from about ever two to three days

"wow, you speak really well English."

dying

and you said 'from a fantasy'

I guess that's grammatically not incorrect, but who the hell puts the words in that order? xpost

one time i was at the gym on a treadmill and an old white dude walked up to me and said something and i had to take my headphones off to hear what he said and he repeated his question and it turned out to be "what's a four-letter-word for indian bread?" because he was doing a crossword and i automatically told him the answer but i was also annoyed.
