deadly, forgive me, but are you indian? I dont generally know/recall what races/ethnicities (I dont know the difference) everyone here is, but I seem to recall dot-Indian.
My take on life is "fuck people." If I mean well and do well, but someone takes offense with something I innocently say, fuck 'em. She's finally realized that. She met a 50 yr old mexican dude I'm friends with that talks ALL SORTS of shit about wetbacks. It was actually pretty shocking to her.
For her multicultural class she had to go do something "outside of her comfort zone." Her friend went to a TTU College Republicans meeting. That's bullshit. My gf said she doesnt know of anything that'd make her feel uncomfortable, and then I reminded her of my "colored" (i.e., hispanic) friends that hate so much on "wetbacks."
Note: wetbacks are the illegals that are a drain on society (commit crimes, use food stamps, etc). They are very different than hispanic/mexican folks. (that is from my friends of mexican decent...1st generation decent, or crossed the border legally themselves).
My group of friends is rather strange. We're all "racist," but it's more about using racist terms to belittle people of a race that are shitty citizens (e.g., wetbacks, niggers, rednecks, etc). all offensive terms that are based on race, but we use those terms "against" the less-awesome people of that race. I like that my group of friends consists of white folks, black folks, mexican folks, and asian folks; but again, we're all "racist" against shitty people.
