The joys of being a minority are I get to say stuff like that and I get to call whiny minorities, whiny minorities. Other than that I'm pretty much like jk. He can't call whiny minorities, whiny minorities. It's Racist.
All my life I have fought people thinking I am where I am because Mr. big Liberal gives me permission to get an education and work. If you're brown and could be a dirty (fill in the blank) everyone starts talking to you like you don't speak English or they are offended because I don't speak Spanish. Do they mean Spanish or Castilian? Spain ruled the Island for centuries. We lisp, so it's Castilian. My favorite: they assume I'm a wetback. The Pacific is kind of a big ocean to swim across.
Things don't change. Still same old stuff left over from the last century. Why, because we don't know how to treat people equally. Animal farm all over again. Some animals are more equal than others.
How about these simple rules. You take a test, you pass, you go to college. You apply for a job, you're the best, you get hired. You do your job well, you get more money and a promotion.
Don't even get me started on celebrating diversity.
jk's gone to England. He can't stop me from giving my two cents.
Later, I'm off to see the wizard. He's giving me a heart.
