Well, no-one except the snowmen. Never trusted them - all over the place in January but then you turn your back for a minute and they've up and disappeared! Now where do you suppose they go all year, eh?
Border Reiver:
Ask any Canadian, we know (except for the folks from Vancouver and Victoria). They're being interrogated in prep for the upcoming invasion giving us all the information we need in exchange for a ride in the zamboni.
Is it cold in here?:
One of them froze Winslow. Very suspicious. Hannelore should add them to a list.

--- Quote from: Black Sword on 09 Feb 2011, 10:29 ---The authority I say it with is because I was inundated in their culture for four years while dating my ex, a Gujrati girl, and as hip 20-somethings, they openly attached ABCD and FOB to the correctly identified persons. They also wondered amongst themselves as to their exact identity, given they were expected to be good Indian girls yet good American girls as well, a state of being that made some of them wonder that despite their completely Indian makeup and bloodline, if they themselves were not actually "half-breeds." And I say typical because direct observation as well as what they told me themselves revealed that the vast majority of them suffer that issue, and react to it in different ways, but all of them are caught in a net of "melting pot" that contradicts and confuses them.

Sure, I have confused feelings about my Chinese and Australian "selves" too, but there is a huge difference between members of a minority saying things about themselves, and having it said about them by non-members. You can't understand what growing up and living as a member of an ethnic and cultural minority is like by "doing research" at second hand, and it's pretty offensive (IMHO) for anyone who hasn't shared the often-unpleasant experience to make jokes about it.

What about writing about someone losing a parent to suicide?
