    My feelings about people from Missouri might be similar to his and Japan. But I won't tweet it. :)

    Well, for one, it's nearly impossible to find a bully who isn't an asshole.

    Wrong.

    Racism isn't ordering the well-done steak. It's putting ketchup on that well-done steak.

    What if you dab it with a nice aioli? Racist? Or mere cultural appropriation?

    Can we agree that the tweet was bigoted? Is that an acceptable catch-all term for what went down?

    Why is it so important to people that the Tweet be characterized as "racist"?

    Only if the aioli has egg is it racist. Without egg is cultural appropriation.

    (Yes, I looked up what aioli was. Never heard of it before now. I actually learned something new today.)

    people often conflate ethnicity and race and nationality, but I think we can all agree he was being prejudiced against a person of Japanese descent.

    You know, Dick. Like when you align with another little bitch to try and make a correlation between Terry Frei and Jerry Sandusky.

    Don't like the troll tag? Then don't fucking act like a troll.
