--- Quote from: ReindeerFlotilla on 19 Feb 2015, 18:28 ---Edit: Also--and I'm not joking here, just to be clear--I find "Americans of African decent" incredibly offensive. That may seem random, but I expect it will make my point for me.

Please accept my apologies; if I'd thought I'd offend ANYone by saying that, I wouldn't have said it.

Accepted. I wouldn't have mentioned except that it is true and it was perfectly in line with my point. You don't hear about it much, because I think people like me are tired of the fight. But I'm not from Africa. I don't know from Africa. I'm from Texas. There's a lot of people like me who are really tired of being "qualified" Americans.
That isn't the point, and I'm not holding it against you. The point is, there's literally nothing you could have said there that someone like me couldn't have found offensive. The only way to win is not to play. Except, if you refuse to play, everyone loses. So maybe, just maybe, it is incumbent upon me, as the oppressed party, to not give you a hard time for failing to beat the Kobayashi Maru.
Just sayin'

So lug wrenches are currency here? Like cigarettes in prison?

Point well taken. And thank you.
Typically I just use black 'cause that's what the black people I know use, but some people take offense at -- as in, have completely gone off on me over -- that, too.
Rather off-topic, but it is Thursday, correct? Is there a comic this evening, or are we going to get more Yeti jokes from Yelling Bird?
