rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

God darraghmac it's like you don't even KNOW me sometimes.

I also like the neon ceiling and the (frequently) shorter line outside the door as compared to their major competition down the street.

shanghai manor!

Okay I'm sold!

that i had no idea how to cook or eat, so i came out with a big sack of cheap rice, felt so fuckin white it wasn't funny

Damn... I know you aren't playing if you were able to feel the color of the rice.

irl lol

feel like the asian-ffirmative action conversation never got off to the start it deserved

乒乓, if you see me at the grocery you can give me the token white-man high-five and I would never think you racist

I just love high-fives

the only shit i have ever gotten at any ethnic market is at the ethiopian market where the owner asked me how old my baby is and i was like i have no baby and then he told me that he assumed i had adopted an ethiopian baby
i was like nope, no baby

his wife was nice and taught me how to make misser wat (sp?)

you shoudl start a new thread? I'd participate

been shamelessly appropriating the cultural heritage [cheap tins of chick peas &c.] of pakistani/turkish/polish/... communities from their various shops so long that I no longer even give it a thought. I hope at least that the spices are similarly reasonably-priced in hell

i did hear a rumour that there are no pan-asian supermarkets down in hell

on the other hand it is my personal opinion that flaki may be quite readily available

^yes

"I like it when I see white ppl at asian supermarkets, I'm always so intrigued like what exactly are you gonna buy"

once saw what looked to be our middle-school teacher at an asian market? what could she be doing there? three days later we had squid dissections.

can i back us up 2 weeks?:

not black, makes doo rag work

i'm not saying its a bad look, just asking if you're aware that yellowman is a black person with albinism?

I assumed that, but do you know for sure?

I'm a moron, it's ~the~ yellowman. going home now.

i am yellowman aware, yes

the majority of my tutoring students are asian and they seem convinced as a group that its going to hurt their chances of getting into good schools despite their diverse range of experiences

they feel as if they are competing against each other, something i certainly never felt wrt other middle middle eastern students

that is a nasty feeling that i don't think maps on to the standard angry white people narrative about experiencing affirmative action

maybe there wasn't a critical mass of middle eastern students!

well it's statistically true

is it racist that I will pretty much only play pool for money against Asian people

yeah, probably

lol

Don't worry, frogs, this exact question will now be examined over the next 215 posts, names will be names, fingers will be pointed, and there will be lots of FPing.

Called USPS today to inquire on why we haven't been receiving mail. Had friends and family tell me they mailed packages etc... The woman on the phone asked for my name and I said," Teresita", and she said,"You don't sound like a Teresita." I said um, that's racist. Then she said ,"No it is not because I am Hispanic and I am just making a generalization." I just said,"Why?" She said,"You sound Anglo, I sound Anglo too."

Thought that was interesting. I just wanted an answer about my mail, took almost all day to go down the rabbit hole of USPS menus and numbers...

USPS is turning into a black hole. I guess we should be happy most of the mail is still coming out on the other side of the wormhole.

it takes a certain personality to work at a post office

The post office in the UK has a reputation for being a prime organising / recruiting ground for the far right. I've never been entirely sure why.

btw I made a new thread rolling 2013 thread on race and racism
