Today in Cultural Appropriation

We oversimplify what we can't intellectually handle.

Rick, I liked you better before you turned into a human fortune cookie.

 

This is the best Seinfeld episode ever:

 

P.F. Chang’s opens first restaurant in China

 

Scenes like this probably wouldn't be allowed these days.

 

That hand-to-mouth indian thing Kramer did would be a Death Blow (get it?) to the show today.

 

He doesn't want us to like him. He wants us to hate him. I'm sure it's therapeutic somehow, but it's always seemed like an odd turn.

 

Telling old white men that some subjects don't need their pontification is asking them to hate you. It's the ultimate insult, the one idea they can't abide.

 

If you can get a bunch of white guys to hate you because you are so "woke" (which is how you process it), then you have proven to yourself that you are a case apart from all the other middle-aged white guys.

 

You don't get under people's skin because you're woke. Or because you tell them what they don't want to hear.

You get under people's skin because you act like a flaming asshole. There is more than one facet in this world to being a good person. One is being woke, of course. Another is not being a prick.
