Because it’s extremely relevant in American culture. Every culture really, we’re just somewhat ahead on not lying to ourselves about it.
What the fuck is wrong with Americans and how did they become so astonishingly self flagellating.
Nothing and we’re not, you’re an irate ignoramus with a chip on your shoulder having an imaginary dick measuring contest because you’re super duper sensitive about race.
Just on the insecure posture of this tweet, I’m prepared to bet cold hard cash that he asked her for clarity or something with a informational challenge “but does x not come from y?” Or whatever and she manufactured his reasoning and the rest to feel good. She doesn’t seem to know what et al means either.
He was literally telling her to go read her own work. The “et al” part is very fucking clearly taking the piss, do they not have humor over there in Stuckupistan? Or are your panties always in too much of a twist about basic ass descriptors to have any kind of humor about literally anything?
E: guy’s post history is chock full of dogshit-tier takes with a thin veneer of leftism and a big heap of good ol’ fashioned xenophobia.
ITT people baww at the mere mention of race and gender, and proceed to behave as if the problem is other people being too sensitive about race and gender.
oh now your other comment makes sense, you think “reverse racism” is real and you don’t like people calling you out on complete bullshit like “Should there be a black woman asking the question, this wouldn’t be mentioned”. fuck you, your performative respectability games, and your shithead nazi kin.
only white men can read an anecdote about a woman being tired of having her own field mansplained to her, and turn it into “…and that’s why this is bigoted against me, actually”. Holy fucking shit dude.
the part where logging in to a computer remotely is apparently as good as visiting a place in person fucking sent me. this is what being online 24/7 does to a person.
agreed, and it’s one i’m perfectly comfortable making, because I’ve left a bar thinking “wow that was fun i had a good time” exactly zero times, and “jesus h fuckin christ where do they get off charging so much for that swill in this noisy dump”. bars are awful as social spaces and need to die.
plenty of context to put that together chief, check your comment and the meme you posted it under and… look do really i need to spoonfeed you the very basic line of logic happening there? but if you treat meme comments like serious discussion then i see why you’re at the bar and not a party
i can’t decide if it’s sadder that you’re this triggered or that you’re trying to hide it behind photos of tourism sites and vague concerns about a culture you clearly didn’t have time to appreciate yourself.
the electoral college is only for the president, the rest is pretty on point. the only “national” election is when the electoral college votes (we don’t vote for the president directly, we vote for how we want our state’s electors to vote), and the rest is left up to the states (who love to make as huge a mess as they can of it), which is why the details seem obfuscated.
I’m an American who has paid attention to and participated in politics for over 20 years and I still get confused, our method of electing leaders is seriously WTF.
