This thread certainly became interesting over the last two pages.
Just finished up taking two SAT Subject tests. College board is a scam. The American educational system is overly so draining of capital.
I was not at all surprised that people would defend that "migration" nonsense.

|OT13| The Civil War was a labor dispute
it was like me a two other folks watching it every week last season, lol. Season 1 ended roughly, but I'm excited for season 2 all the same. I don't see how they can keep up the different perspectives gimmick: both leads are equally in the shit now. But I guess we'll see.

I just decided to duck out of it for good. You can't reason with wilful ignorance.
Stay strong fam, don't get banned.
Sorry for a being a dumb, but when did this happen, and were the reasons. ?
I've been awake for just over an hour my brain can't handle this level of fuckery.
*hugs Bronx* stay safe.

OUTRAGE!!
Shouldn't that be an open and shut case of the Texas Board of Education being shit? Like don't even many/most Texans think their Board of Education is shit? How could that be a controversial subject? I'm scared to go in there

Surprised there isn't a thread..
You wanna make a thread where 90% of the posts would be "THE SJWS!"?
Probably because no one knows who she is.

As long as she remains "controversial" that'll never happen.

double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
I don't want to be willfully ignorant and overlook certain stories but just once a week I would like to hear some good news pertaining to race in America.
shit gets stressful after awhile and puts you on edge.

Just posting this from the Asian thread because it took place in China. It's not the first time I experienced what I believed to be some kind of racism but it's the first time some thing like this ever depressed me slightly.
I am living in Beijing for a while and I'm only in my 2nd week. I was riding the subway today and I nodded and smiled to a woman across from me. I'm the type of guy that if we meet eyes, I acknowledge you, smile and nod. Man, woman, young or old. That's just what I do. She smiled back and said hello in English. I asked if she spoke English and simple conversation started.
She asked if I had wechat, it's their allowed social media, it's all the rage in Beijing! It's like miiverse but with AMAZING video chat. When I pull out my phone the guy sitting next me started saying something. By the looks of her face and her friend next to her I can tell it's no good. I just figured the guy was saying be careful of foreigners or something so I just smiled and tried to roll with it.
He keeps talking and talking and talking, then he begins to get just a little louder. I start looking around the train and everyone's faces are in shock. People are leaning over and looking at me with these... expressions, I don't know! I didn't even try to understand what he was saying but the way people were looking at me I just started to shrink inside. On the outside I was cool and just smiled, though I could feel the discomfort setting in.
Both ladies were trying to say something to get him to just stop and the embarrassment on their faces was clear. I felt so bad for them. My stop couldn't come soon enough. I looked over at one girl down the train just staring at me with the biggest eyes ever. I couldn't bare to look at anyone else.
I got up, I said "sorry" in mandarin and I got out of there. The two ladies got off the train as well and just waited for the next one to pass. They couldn't stay on that same car with the man. I don't know what he said but their faces man! I thought one of the ladies was going to cry. To make light of the situation I just smiled, laughed and told them it was ok and that things like that happen from time to time. They kept apologizing to me saying that "Chinese people aren't like that, they are very friendly" etc etc. I asked about what he said and they would not dare to repeat anything.
When I said good bye to the ladies I could feel my lips quiver trying to force a smile. I hope they couldn't see through my facade. I was worried that If they thought I felt bad they might have felt even worse.
Just in case you are wondering I am half black and half white. I identify myself as mostly black(what ever that means) as I only knew that side of my family and I'm very light skinned. I've dealt with all kinds of jacked up stuff before but this today was different. For what ever reason the whole situation just made me feel really bad and I don't even know why. I can only guess not being able to defend myself is a reason. Not to mention my imagination is running wild about what the man could have said! It's probably not as bad as I am assuming but the people's faces! I don't want anyone to ever look at me like that again.
Just last week a taxi wouldn't take me because he straight up said he was afraid of me. I thought it was the funniest thing ever and didn't think twice about it beyond wanting to tell a funny story to friends. This however, this was different.
If I can post a pic, maybe you can tell me if I look threatening, hahaha!
Still love Beijing though!
