Literary Clusterfucks 2013

thanks for the link, redding

i think if a person is of mixed euro-indian descent its "okay" by most standards to refer to them as native american or american indian

If you think this is true, I suggest you try asking random Mexican people if they are Mayan. See how that goes for you.

Anyone tried this yet?

lol it had been 8 minutes, give ppl some time

Even better is to do something like, say, go up to someone from Sonora and say "So you're from Zacatecas, right?"

Go to someone from, I dunno, Chiapas or Oaxaca and say "You all do mariachi music down there, yeah?"

'i'm an aztec, motherfucker'

No results found for "i'm taino btw".

all I'm saying is that a lot of people of mixed euro/indian descent do not identify as "native american" and would not be "okay" with being labeled native american.

The Aristotelian penchant for categorization and sub-categorization always breaks down at some point before reaching a satisfactory system of division.

you know what i can't stand around here? people not naming names.

lol okay it was Mordy and Aimless i was mad at after reading the first half of this thread. i don't know if i'm one of the ilx posters Mordy was referring to, but i am def self-righteous and likely bask in the pieties he was referring to as well.

i would agree w/ horseshoe's self-assessment there

i don't think "mayan" and "american indian" are the same thing hurting!

you drive me crazy but to be really real, the weirdo metaphor of basking in pieties delights me.

xxp don't get it twisted; you're wrong about everything

oh yeah i was mad at Hurting too

i love horseshoe and think she is one of the owningest posters on this board fwiw, ive never read her posts as pious or self-righteous and think shes an incredibly thoughtful and self-critical person

aw max. i love you too.

you know a lot about how people from central and south america self identify i guess. ty for bringing that knowledge to this thread.

in my mind every valdes defender on this thread is wearing a papier-mâché halo over their heads - "no i'm the most sympathetic ilxor," "no, i am!"

feel like yr bringing some of yr own baggage here big guy

in my mind you're wearing a t-shirt that says "i'm not a bitch, i'm just honest"

haha i think i just figured out who al leong is

Pretty sure I am the most self-righteous ilxor, I just polished my halo this morning.

feel like anyone who believes anything valdes says about anything is setting themselves up for a big shock during the reveal

"no im the most honest ilxor!" "no i am!"

honestly is more important to me than sanctimony

in my mind everyone in this thread is an anthropomorphised cat flying around in a disco in second life

seems clear that sanctimony is p important to you too

wd rather take abuse survivors' words at face value and be surprised every once in a while than the other option tbh

oh yeah? where have i been sanctimonious, max?

this is the most sanctimonious post on the entire thread

do you know what the word sanctimonious means?

(quick, google it)

hey is it necessary to be like that, dude?

apparently, yes

sorry i'm not being cuddlestein here. hugs all around, kip guys!

ahhh you were just stating facts not demonstrating yr clear moral superiority. my mistake. its cool.

lmao you sure hate sanctimony. thats why you keep telling us why youre better than other people.

better than you for sure

horseshoe is awesome

tbh i'm not even sure what mordy's shtick is

i guess if you work for nick denton it doesn't bother you when someone published gross sexist bullshit

my dude. chill out.

oh hey i wonder how gross kate middleton's new portrait is. i wonder if there's a website that will cater to my curiosity

oh wait i think i figured it out

sorry to interrupt the lovefest

calmer than your are

keep flaming out here Mordy, I'm enjoying the realization that I am not the only person here who has major problems with you

lol

i'm feeling pretty calm + i'll take all comers. tho sleeve i think we've discussed this before and i'm trying not to retread.
