I happen to know that not a single one of the Ivies offers a major in White Studies.

Unless that's what "semiotics" means.

I don't think Time was using enough brown tint on the picture either.My younger sister had a DNA test done, the results weren't a big surprise. Pacific Islander, Scandanavian (German/Russian), Irish, Welsh, and Alaska Native. Just another mutt.

Happy to share! I'm sure a few duckies escape each year but thus far we've had no explosion of wee, teeny-tiny, itsy-bitsy babby rubber duckies, that I've ever heard of.

You have to admit, it's refreshingly honest how the Trump administration just comes right out and explains their decisions by telling us that racist voters will like what they're doing because racist voters don't know what's real and what's not.

They did the same thing with the tweets about transgender service personnel--"Well, you have to understand this is pretty smart on our part because a lot of conservative voters in the midwest don't know it's bullshit and it'll be hard for the Democrats from those states to explain it to them before the election."

OH, OKAY THEN

I think it's only a thing from a distance. Down here, "Alt-South" is pretty much the same as "South." That is, racists who don't think they're racists.
