jhahahahaha true. we all have good intentions, bad ideas!
you know what I miss?
I grew up trading smack with my friends. so often it was trading insults about race or ethnicity... etc. it was fun, light hearted sorta. it was fun. now everyone wants to be a victim and if I said what I said as a kid to any of my friends, I'd be cancled cultured, and depending if they were the right race, creed or orientation, they could say the same back to me and be cool.
I used to harass one of my buddies who was from Columbia on my hockey team (this is nyc, we have chines making bagels and jews making tex mex) that he was mexican. apparently thats highly insulting (I knew that), once when we were drinking on lake placid after a pond hockey tournement he says to me "you know I am not mexican right" I says of course I do, your last name ends with a s not a z!
Next morning we get on the bench and he hands me a bottle of Jameson and says to me, "we need to win, mic".....
I've had same covo's with every friends I have, black, latino, italian, polish, etc. we don't in general have pride in our heritage anymore, just offense if someone says anything about it.
I'm rambling but think about it.
how awesome is that? come on now. part of celebrating our differences is mocking it, we've lost that, now everyone is offended.
