    Westoids do this thing where they like to display their wives’ ethnicity to others. Like, ‘‘bro, check out my Asian wife’’ from libertarians. He coulda just said the steak taco thing, but no, they have to show off their product, their war trophies. I know it sounds silly to call a gusana a ‘‘war trophy’’ but this is sort of the Predator mentality that Westoids have practiced for centuries now.

      It’s weird because Latin Americans are Western even if the global north doesn’t consider us that. Also the type of women who marry these types tend to have the same fetishistic outlook on non-Latin men. I’ve heard them say so many disgusting things about indigenous and black men that I don’t feel as bad when they marry some pale American or European guy who views them as a trophy. It’s still wrong though.

        They get blinded by the higher amounts of melanin in some latin Americans, ignoring that they serve basically the same function as anglo settlers do. Genetic discontinuity between successive populations groups after conquest/colonization is unusual and mostly restricted as a phenomenon to anglo-saxon colonies and patagonia - I think.

      I never considered my mixed race heritage until I was an adult looking in retrospect. It seems weird to me no matter what. I’ve dated across the board and with fellow mutts. I think they are obsessed with race because it’s a quirk of history. Hot take: unless you’re liberating someone with your identity I think it’s a dumb thing to consider. Shut the frick up, grab a skateboard, and be an awesome 1 of 1

      I object to capitalising “predator”, because ir implies that he’s a badass alien instead of a massive racist dweeb.

    What is it about Americans and their stupid sounding department acronyms?

    DOT sounds like some kind of little old lady, not a workplace.

    I’m not sure what’s sadder, that the transportation secretary is a former Real World “Star,” or that he’s still more qualified than pete

    I’m trying to think of a way to satirize the “exotic wife guy” genre without seeming to endorse it, and I guess my move would be to make my (always off camera) partner be an extra terrestrial, interject inscrutable symbols with heart emojis, show myself eating unrecognizable foods, dancing to atonal clicks & whistles, and maybe put some of pastel claw in a shot once. like “she” has some crustacean type of features.
