We just emigrated to the UK and my daughter is having trouble finding friends… she finally met a kid her age and the kid told her that the N-word isn’t offensive in the UK.

Fucking what? (Yes, I know it is just as offensive here.)

And we lived in Indiana, the Middle Finger of the South, where the KKK was re-formed in the 1920s.

So now she has to start all over again finding friends. She was pretty upset and I don’t blame her.

What’s really fun is that “gypsys” can refer to two entirely different groups of people, both hated out of pure bigotry.

David Gerrold did not write the “no tribble at all” line and hated it. He also thought Shatner was a dick, which is why tribbles keep hitting him in the head in the scene where he opens the quadrotricale bin- Gerrold was up above throwing them at him.

I highly recommend his book on the making of The Trouble With Tribbles. Aside from being of interest to Star Trek fans, it is the best book on the TV industry ever written. It still applies today.

I’m sorry, but that’s very clearly Nona Mecklenberg’s dad.

I caught the irony of that too and it hurts.

…for now.

Okay, well you clearly know what I meant better than I do, so I’ll defer to the Flying Squid expert here.

Again, I never called anyone a racist.

I never called anyone a racist. In fact, I was the one being called a racist for posting this in the first place.

I’m not worked up over anything. I’m just noting that they bring up the subject of race multiple times in the couple of pages of their history I looked at.

Who here is concluding that? Can you please present anyone here concluding that?

Owning a farm is not in any way the same as being farmhands.

That sounds like a silly thing to do when it’s publicly available… and notable how often you want to talk about race.

Do you think there might be a reason their skin color is relevant under the Trump administration?

Edit: Interestingly, your post history shows that you are very interested in skin color yourself.

The lack of a roof is a big negative too. There have been experiments with bubble-roof cars before and it’s not fun to be in a plastic bubble when the sun is overhead.

Only those without honor are too tired for bij.

Earl Grey doesn’t seem to be especially popular here actually. Just plain black tea. Which I appreciate.

Fake! At not one point does he say, “experience bij!”

True, but I think the world bully is about to find out that it isn’t the world bully anymore now that it’s bullying itself.

Except the Homer Car actually worked properly. It just looked stupid and had stupid “features” no one wanted but Homer.

The Cybertruck isn’t even that good.
