Social WR Lounge 243: Can you make threads while yellow?

[Cubo de Sangre]

When I was a kid, the things I noticed the most was liking potatoes and greeting you with a question (like "how are you doing?").

How are you doing?

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

yea...POC,...I thought that was the most updated politically correct term.

I read that as "pock". Don't think I'd consider that flattering.

i realized most of my energy goes to people who already dislike me, trying to make them dislike me less instead of towards the people who actually do like me making them like me more.

This is just a classic female problem though

Ahahhaa these are so random and funny.


Jack what about this.

taking way too many mints when you leave a restaurant. (Pre Covid obviously)

And look at that... Any Given Sunday is on HBO Max....

Does Robert Downey Jr play LL Cool J?

Potatoes are delicious and it's not polite to answer that question with anything outside of a variation of "Doing alright"

 

[Bald1]

How are you doing?

Sometimes I just start off doing "Doctor." with my buddies. Not sure how white that makes me, but the wtf looks from strangers once we get going is worth it.

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Does anyone appreciate @Social Distance Warrior fake routine of being nice and trying to kiss up to people.

I love it. His nice guy routine.

I really haven't seen passion about people of color (hate that term). The persons thing is the right answer IMO.

Agreed. “Persons of color” is the superior term.

I generally don't stereotype white people, but the lack of lotion usage among my scantly melanated brothers and sisters is a point of national emergency imo.

Unless you ask an elderly person. They’ll tell you about a “procedure” they had or if they had to get something lanced lol

Good point. Your AARP card comes with the right to actually answer "how's it going" with recent medical procedures and how your kids piss you off

If I had to put my finger on it, it would be the passion he speaks when discussing people of color, especially Central Americans, Mexicans, and other brown folk...

he also has a penchant for defending the proletariat...but this could be more about his marxist values.

FWIW, JVS is not correct about my racial identity.

I've mentioned before that, earlier on, I was doing a trollish parody of a legitimate revolutionary communist that I know - who believes that armed conflict is necessarily, inevitable, and desirable in the United States, the modern epicenter of world capitalism. As you all know, and as @HereticBD has pointed out with some strange glee, I am not ideologically revolutionary. I sympathize with and/or support revolutionary groups, but I don't think armed conflict is a desirable thing for the United States....at least in 2021!

I really haven't seen passion about people of color (hate that term). The persons thing is the right answer IMO.

I never used the term "persons" until I was an adult. Not sure if I picked it up in law school. I don't think I did. I think it's just a matter of wanting to be more precise with my meaning as I got older, although that does kind of correlate with legal writing. I still say "people" when I think it's the most appropriate term (describing a mass or group) but use persons when I'm describing many, er, humans based on individual actions or individual behaviors. So, I'd say "white people are the ethnic majority of the United States," but I'd say "black persons are more likely to report experiencing discrimination." Or "he really hates being around people" versus "those are two persons who enjoy different activities."

I tried to search my post history to provide examples, but "persons" produces all posts with person/person's/personal.

Don’t listen to @Social Distance Warrior . His meds rely on the postal service, which is godawful right now.

Do I come across as a white guy? Maybe sometimes?

lol seems like an odd topic

Eh, sort of but not entirely.

Like that scene in Spies Like Us?

 

[sickc0d3r]

We'll invent it and add it to our menu.

Maybe just a Sangria and a cigar?

White people don't get ashy.

I think old people love telling younger people a gross story about something they had removed lol
