I seem to remember a lot of people being confused that Cho was ethnically Chinese but also Scottish.

Not enough to put it on the cover of a book or a movie, but enough to make herself relevant on Twitter from time to time. Snape is trans! Neville is asexual! What else?!

Yeah that's some p good poo poo.

I also love the "ANIMALS DO IT/DON'T DO IT" argumentation in general because it's just such a bad argument.(Also animals do the damndest things)

Dude called Ed Milliband, the opposition leader in the UK, got plastered all over the papers eating a bacon sandwich. You know when you get a bit of fat caught in your teeth and don't quite bite a chunk off, so you have to chomp a couple more times to avoid pulling an entire bit of bacon out? Yeah, that lost him an election.

"Pikeys" are Irish Travellers, not Roma, right? Or am I out of touch with racist slurs?

Are there many Roma or Travellers in Australia, anyway, or was that guy just thumbs upping on general principle?

Sounds like a really stupid thing to do. The badge is just so that public figures can't be imitated, it's not some great honour.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen made some tongue-in-cheek adverts goading Vegetarians into giving up meat. A lot of people found that pretty offensive. I didn't realise being a Vegetarian was being part of a protected minority now.



edit- I mean I thought they were quite funny. The image above isn't one of the ads, it's riffing on this one


I was veggie for a bit, and still don't eat a massive amount, but goddamn veggies, have a bit of a sense of humour about it.

Not on purpose however. I was at my local gym doing ring muscle-ups, which include a lot of swinging to get your body above the rings! This other gymgoer decides to bring their 9? year old child who thinks its okay to run around without care. Sneauflayke decided to run right below where i was swinging and caught my backswing after dropping down flinging her a couple feet back! Mombie decides this is my fault because I wasn't watching where her child was at? WTF! How is it at all my responsibility to make sure your stupid kid is not behind me running around while i workout!

"I dindu nothin'". Apparently the new fancy way to avoid saying the N-word while still blowing a dogwhistle so loud you can hear it from space.

Yeah, I learned it as addition/subtraction in a left -> right manner, not addition and then subtraction always. Which for me makes it

3-3x6+2
3-18+2
3-18= -15
-15+2= -13

I hate math.
e: also sorry for contributing to the derail but I have to know

I see now how the -13 comes out

The real issue with eugenics tends to be that we don't really have a good way to remove genetic disease without removing the people who carry the disease, so any way you slice it you are advocating the deaths of people with genetic inferiorities. That's how it gets so easily generalized to race; all you need to do is slightly shift what you consider genetically inferior and the rest of the legwork is done for you.
