Yeah. Banks do similar, tbh. They sometimes use the term "White Adjacent" to refer to Asian individuals. Such people tend to be given loans more readily than Black and Hispanic applicants, even with lower credit scores, less stable jobs, and lesser career qualifications.

Unless they're Chinese of course. Then they're dirty commie spies who should be hung, right?

Or Muslims, they're terrorists who have street parties in New Jersey on 9/11.

Or Mexicans, who are rapists and murders (and maybe some are good people, but not the ones who come to the US).

[Twelveseal]

Banks love Chinese money, and depending on where in the Middle East, oil money. Mexicans are sol, tho.

[Mattias]

Oh, I was talking about the many racisms of the alt right, not how Asians are seen as the 'good' foreigners. I actually missed that post.

[Twelveseal]

Ah, my bad. Pay me no mind then XD.

I guess Colombians with their oil/drug money are alright too...

[LegalLoliLover]

No, nowadays, Colombians have bootleg smartphone money, such as the dealings that Chris Hansen had with the Escobars. And yes, the irony that someone who hunted criminals is now a criminal makes me smile:

Something something law enforcement...

Weird, all I'm seeing is the other side saying that Asians are no longer included into PoC, because their school grades are not subject to sufficient systemic racism to warrant the school getting money grants for improved teaching programs.

How many tumblr blogs have you read though, where the person says 'I am 75% Vietnamese and 25% Texan so I well know the struggle of blacks in america'?

[LegalLoliLover]

I have read a Tumblr blog where someone was essentially trying to guilt-shame a half-white, half-Asian person, into believing that her white father was trying to "appropriate Asian culture", though. Unfortunately, it worked.

[aldeayeah]

he sure appropriated it

with his dick

ho ho ho

[LegalLoliLover]

The whole thing was apparently whether or not it would be "appropriate" for Miss "Hafu" to learn Japanese. I bet William Adams the Caucasian samurai would trigger the hell out of these people. All the better that he killed Yasuke the black samurai in Nioh.

Welp, Trump's asking for his options on an attack against an Iranian nuclear site.

This guy can't be thinking he can keep the office if we're at war. Right? I mean, he did just load up the Department of Defense with cronies, but still...

[LegalLoliLover]

"White Adjacent" reminds me of "Near Arctic":

Both are attempts to stretch a word's definition.

This guy can't be thinking he can keep the office if we're at war. Right?

IDK, can Presidents extend their term during war?

[Twelveseal]

Iirc, no. Afaik, there's not a legal method to do so. But whether legality matters to him at this point, or his Base (including those within the Executive Branch) is questionable. Going to war with Iran has long been this guy's go-to method of drumming up support for an unpopular President. At least when it comes to accusations. But he's already lost the popularity contest at this point...

[LegalLoliLover]

"The most secure election" sure had a lot of security issues. All hail President Nyancat and Vice President Doomguy. Also, Asians may be white adjacent, but are liches wight adjacent?

[Twelveseal]

On that topic, the butthurt spreads.

And on that other thing? Yeah... basically this:

Odds are he just wants to leave Biden with a nuclear war in his hands.

[LegalLoliLover]

Then at least have the decency to do it with commie China.
Speaking of acting like commie China:

Whistleblowers being removed for reasons "totally unrelated" to that which they whistle-blew.

[Twelveseal]

Ahhh, those are the two who first refused to certify the results, then changed their minds and did, certifying the election results, and then asked to rescind their votes after Palmer got a phone call from Trump himself.

Hmmm. Wonder why they'd want those two off the board...

Also somewhat amusing that the President's legal team keeps having mass resignations while also shifting their strategy targeting individual counties' results despite not being able to produce enough evidence of fraud to actually get their lawsuits heard.
