thats racist!
quick questions:
1. why do the armenian/persian guys wear nicer shit to the gym than i wear to go out in? A/X and diesel shirts? seriously, guys?
2. is it ever considered racist if you say something positive or complimentary of a race?
3. what the hell was the prez of the NAACP thinking talking shit on mcnabb? did he just set back african americans 40 years?
4. why did one of my professors plagiarize the hell out of his exam, even though he preaches intellectual property?
I'm reading this, and I'm thinking; why shouldn't I take a stab at it?
#1. armenian/persian-americans. That's a big qualifier. You see, once they come here, they want to pretend like they're Italians. Because they think our femmes dig on the Italians. (When in fact, everyone I know just laughs at them. Unless they're connected; I apologize Mr.Soprano...) So in order to fake like they're Italian (they're grateful to have similar coloring) they have to dress.... well, *that* way. Yes--even at the gym.
#2. I think it depends on the race. Clearly, there are some races (in a surprising turn of events, I'm not going to name names here -- I know, I button-hooked ya) that take offense to everything; whether it be positive or negative. So, to answer your question - simply, "yes"
#3. Clearly McNabb is a racial sell out. Because (of his last name?) he passes well and black quarterbacks shouldn't pass. He chooses not to run... (Clearly there's an opening for the Seinfeldian, "I choose not to run" joke, but I'm not gonna take it there...) And Steve Young was a racial sell out as well, because he was a great scrambler, and white quarterbacks shouldn't run.
#4. As far as I knew, "real world" laws/rules didn't have any bearing in the fantasy world of academia. Those people are living in Plumley land, man. (refer to any past references to RushOfAdrenalin) I think in order to even be considered for tenure you have to prove (and defend) that you are so out of touch with any practical knowledge of what normal life consists of. Because, let's be honest -- if you could make it in the real world; why are you teaching? (What's that dreadful saying? -- Those who can, do; and those who can't, teach. It's not that I don't respect professors...) If this has changed since I last attended class (that should be good for a laugh, or ten), I must have missed the memo. (Is there a problem with my TPS reports?)
P.S. Flowers; wake up!
Send me a post, Paco. I'm waiting...

1. I don't go to the gym enough to formulate an informed position, but I do know that persian/armenians are all worthless and good for nothing.
2. Was YOU'RE number 1 a positively racist or negatively racist question?
3. I am sick of racism... and because of the NAACP I am going to start referring to black people as colored people.
4. haha, I've got a funny story about plagiarism...I was taking a class one semester called Politics in America, and the the professor was a real prick. No matter how good of a point you made he would always find a way to deconstruct it into a heeping pile of shit. The most stressful 2000 level class that I ever took. Anywho... on one exam he us a long passage from a book we'd been reading and didnt make any reference to what it was from or the context or anything. And being the smart ass that I am I wrote a little note next to the passage on my test that said "Shouldnt this at least be in quotation marks." When I got my test back the next Monday, there wasnt a single mark on it except for my grade and the word no right next to my before mentioned note. It looked something like this: "No, 57"

1a. joe, great call on the cologne. and lets just take your fossil watch reference (which is totally key) and extend it to other forms of bodily jewelry b/c you know there's more than just a watch present here (think "jersey shore" look, with the chains and shit, though not that greasy, necessarily).
1b. persians sell pretty good rugs, right? i mean thats SOMETHING. on a related note, is it ironic that the guy who owns the place i live is either persian or armenian (his name is amir), and his parents own a nice rug place?
2a. joe, in regard to your #1, do you view curry as a positive or negative? ;)
2b. matt, YOUR retarded (and i love you)
3. can we shorten it to "coloreds"? or even "the black" in honor of my grandma?
also, donovan mcnabb really isnt even black. i think i may have more street cred than him, at this point
4. flowers, i dont get it. but i DO have a funny story for you. I was taking a class one semester called Politics in America...
its a formidable scent...stings the nostrils (im not gonna lie. that smells like pure gasoline)
