+Mr Pickles No shit, but not in the same way that a significant portion of Africans where imported under false aegis into a foreign country and subsequently treated as cattle for hundreds of years - being forced into castes and in some horrific cases bred as dogs, trying to create toys (women/girls) for rich mustached oddities and muscle bound work horses (men) to 'slave' away on profitable lands taking the life force of thousands of humans for generations.
As an Indian myself, I just kept laughing the whole time. it's racist if your intention is to hurt the person, not if you're trying to make them laugh.

Also, to factor in the fact that in some countries, you can buy a driver's license without learning properly =high risk.

Yep. The British often state that they abolished African slavery before Americans, but they omit the fact that they kept slavery in India until 1920. *1920*! That's awful.
Well, in the minds of many Americans, Europe isn't really apart of the west. In order to be apart of western society, you have to live on the western side of the prime meridian. It's all about perspective.
Rebecca98463 I've never met someone who doesn't consider Europe part of the west. No one that's serious, anyway. When I say "the west", I mean it in the traditional sense. Europe and it's offshoots. I've never heard the prime meridian interpretation before. Though, I can see how some people can come to that conclusion. The three biggest Empires of post antiquity Europe are Hapsburg Spain, Nineteenth Century France and Victorian Britain, after all. In that chronological order, too. After that, it's all the US.
John NoNameGibbon I only read your first sentence and I can tell you for certain that many Americans only consider the Americaas as western culture. I honestly don't care who you've met. This is the fact of the matter.
Rebecca98463 Well, I would take your response more seriously if you had bothered to read the whole comment. How do you know what I meant? Yeah, a lot of Americans think that the West is the Wild West. Which is only the US and westward. They're technically wrong though. It means everything west of Asia and the Near East. That was my only point. You assumed I was being snarky towards you. I wasn't.
Diba-daboo (that how you spell it)? That's hilarious! (I happen to be Indian, so spare me the lecture). It's not offensive, it's too damn hindbrain-regressively funny. Agreed, Bill.
The perfect defense against this? Tell the "offended person" the truth. "No, you made it that way. I didn't make it racist, you did. You want me to be that way." Call them out on their assumption, especially if it's nowhere near how you actually feel. Fuck'em, don't give them power.
The only reason white people get blamed for racism and slavery is because we have abolished those things. There still are arab and african nations owning slaves! racism in non-white countries is a very normal thing. (try going to qatar as a foreigner for example)
Dunning Kruger Dude calm down :/ Anyway I misinterpreted you, I thought you meant the black slavery in USA. As for the definitions you are correct though it's really difficult for something widespread to be hidden. The blue collar slavery that's going on for clothing and electronics is pretty well known for example.
FUCK. I'm a whiteish looking guy, just started working at an Indian restaurant. Now whenever I go in there I'm gonna think about "dibba dabbas" and have to fight not to lose my shit.
That pc office bullshit tends get way outa hand sometime. I remember this massive shipping warehouse I used to work in had a very diverse crew, but it was all the usual grunt labor; hell about everything race included, and never really took ourselves to seriously, as a result we got along fine. Unfortunately upstairs there was a call center full of the usual clean cut desk warmers who were all about being pc, and playing office politics. And man did they hate us. Come lunch time we would get to bullshitting in the cafeteria, offend some phone jockeys delicate sensibilities, they would file a complaint, and we we would have to attend sensitivity training which no one took seriously. The funny part of that story though is that for all our talk, the ware house grunt valued a person on their work ethic, and all the "offensive" statements in our rather divers bunch were done in good humor, and returned in kind. The office jockeys however were so afraid about offending each other that they would segregate themselves into different groups based solely of race religion and sex, and occasionally you could hear those guys whisper truly racist shit.
i don't care what i get called if i know for sure the person saying it to me isn't racist, if it's in a joking manner or context, and if it's not used during policy-making.
I dont think the comment about the two black guys shaking hands is racist. Constantly people are taking comments out of context. The truth is no matter what you say there is always someone out there that will get offended whether your talking about race, politics, religion, sexism, ect. The people who are offended by it are normally the racists ones not the person making the comment. Remember when someone is being racist they look around the room first!
I wonder when people are going to start talking about all the racism and hatred directed to lower class whites in Southern states. The entire country--black, white, and bluee--are using that population as a rhetorical punching bag these days.
lol Like many people mentioned, Bill doesn't seem to be aware of Britain's *god-awful* history in India. They had slaves there until *1920*. That's way past everyone else, by the way. That's the reason so many Indians speak British English. They also left a nice color caste system there. Nice guys.
Not true. Slavery of course was in India before the British arrived and Britain ended slavery in India. The caste system was in India long before the British arrived. Some historians do think that it hardened under the British Raj but even this is controversial. Slavery became illegal in the British empire in 1834. If you want to know how late or early that is compared to other countries you should check the wikipedia Abolishment time-line here's Here's a quote from it ' East India Company becomes increasingly controlled by Britain and abolishes slavery in India by the Indian Slavery Act V. of 1843.' Unfortunately slavery has not ended.
John NoNameGibbon Sure the British did use the caste system to there advantage and they benefited from India greatly more than any other of there colonies. I think they called India the Jewel of the empire. There Idea was not to change the systems in place unnecessarily but take advantage of those systems. I did think what you were referring too was debt bondage or the Indenture system as the date 1920 fit perfectly but this is not slavery don't get me wrong I know in many ways it is very similar but basically as bad as the indenture system was slavery was without doubt worse. "Don't you think it would be in Britain's best interest to try to pretty up their history?" So you think that Wikipedia is British prettied up history... My point is Britain is not the only one writing history about Britain and there involvement with India and vice versa etc. "They're technically the most violent empire in European history. Is this really below them?" Even if I agreed with your first statement here. I don't think it's wise to judge a countries history by reputation as that would be blinding you would just end up believing any history/propaganda that reinforced your prejudice. BTW there were not 1 billion Indians in 1920 or earlier. If I remember rightly India passed one billion citizens in the year 2000. Nuff said, peace
lonewolfatdapub It is very much slavery. It was a way to bring slaves out of India. Their caste system only allowed slavery within the society. The caste system never changed, it still remains, so Britain exploited it to the end. However, they also developed a new system that would allow them to import Indians. Have you ever been to British Guyana in South America? It's the poorest country on the continent. A lot of the citizens there are ex-Indian slaves. They happen to fit in with the rest of South America because they look similar to Native Americans from the region. Anyway, my point is that it was just a system that was developed to exploit free labor from India (slavery). Empires do this all the time. We go into third world countries to exploit their terrible working conditions and pay them next to nothing. We call that "trade", but we all know what it really is. And Britain _was_ the most violent Empire in world history, for two simple reasons: One, they preferred to use settler colonies, while Hapsburg Spain (their forefather) used oligarchy to settle lands. Settler colonies slowly wipe out the Native population of whatever land they are placed in. Two, they were a global empire and held global hegemony. There have only been two in that position before the US, them and Spain. And about their population, I'm speaking in proportions. The world's population has ballooned times ten ever since the industrial revolution. So in proportions it was still as big. Actually, I feel that British history is often sugar coated when compared to other empires. Britain has no Black Legend weighing their history down, for example. In fact, their history is often romanticized.
John NoNameGibbon I think you should really read about the Indenture system and perhaps the 1912 Indenture Agreement and then read about slavery and there ( basically zero ) rights. If you can't see a difference between the two, its quite clear, the labour was not free nor for life generally. I personally won't devalue how bad slavery really was by confusing them.
lonewolfatdapub We can also risk devaluing human suffering by over-analyzing literal words and over indulging in semantics with the whole thing. It's debt bondage. The keyword being bondage. The mortality rates were also said to have been very high, leading to a labor shortage. In other words, they were slaves that were being worked to death. This isn't really a foreign concept to me, because as an American, I know that we did similar things with African-Americans not too far back. We granted them "freedom" in the mid nineteenth century, but using various different mechanisms (like said laws Britain used) we actually kept slavery going until the early twentieth century. In fact, it _still_ exists in a few other mechanisms in our society. Our judges tend to throw blacks in prison disproportionately for crimes that if committed by a white person, would go excused. Well, it just so happens that once in prison you're required to do free labor (or almost free). So this can be seen as another way of enslaving the black population. I don't deny it, I know it's what we're doing.
The British colonization of India though was a much more peaceful one than the British colonizing North America. The Indians welcomed trade and became close with the brits and adopted much of their democracy but maintained their culture. A lot of Indians are thankful to the brits and sad they left India. Not all colonizations are barbaric, racist or genocidal. A lot of it had to do with allocation of new territory and resources and trading amongst the different cultures with the different commodities the two produced. White European conquest has had its pros and cons on human civilization as has any conquest from any race. Thankyou Bill for adding humour to the mix:)
@MC Sample "Not all colonizations are barbaric, racist or genocidal" Yes, they absolutely are. ALL of them. You can't take control of someone else's home, property, money, government, etc. without a fight. Indigenous people don't just allow others to come to their land/country and invade it, there is violence and people die. When Britain invaded India millions of Indians died. They stole from them and starved them. Indians weren't allowed to hold powerful government positions, the Brits took control of that. Britain decided that India should be in WW1, Indians weren't consulted, Britain declared war on India's behalf. When they had enough and tried to protest British rule they were beaten, jailed, and sometimes killed, even the children. There was peaceful trading in the beginning, just like what happened in America with Native Americans. Neither knew their fate at the time. Millions of Indian lives were lost because of the British "colonizing" India. I can't imagine where you got your information but it's completely inaccurate. You're stating it as fact when in reality it couldn't be farther from the truth.
I'm half Black and half Indian and i hate when I get confused for part native american or some kind of terrorist. WRONG COUNTRIES, sums up all my problems involving people talking about my race
A lot of Indians are racist (in the confines of their inner community) against Muslims, Blacks, Mexicans, and Orientals (who are also equally racist). Pretty much every large homogeneous population deals with a lot of racism against people that aren't like them.
+Sufi Soul Everyone is aware that anyone can be a Muslim, but when you say "Muslim" the first image of a person you get in your head isn't exactly a white person.
When he mentions the Old or Asian game (great game to play, makes the drive go by a lot quicker), he says he has to pass them to see their faces and he says some other great comedian says that, he's referring to Louis C.K. Both awesome comedians.

@zadkiel04 As a fellow black, and a black female at that, I can also say these questions are not racist, they're more commenting on the ridiculousness of racism itself.
I work with an Asian kid who always arrives in the morning when I'm out on break in my car. It is hilarious to watch him try to park. He's like backing in out in out for like 5 mins in a space normal people would just pull in once and shut the engine off. I hate the stereotype, but if the shoe fucking fits...
Bill...Bill...Two things: Cromwell, and Queen Elizabeth. You're Irish. You should know your culture's history. We were slaves and we were slaves in America well before Africans: the Scots and Irish made up HALF of the slave trade in this country and were the majority slaves in the British colonies before that; because we were cheap, government controlled goods. Do you know what it took to be a slave back in Victorian England? All you had to be was a child left alone for thirty seconds. That's how brutal the slave trade was. You could be anyone. If they collared you and you were a child, you were a slave. There's an account of a botched abduction in 'We were there, too' a compendium of significant children and minorities in western history. books.google.com/books?id=3lP-CwAAQBAJ&pg=PT55&lpg=PT55&dq=september+11,+1655+cromwell&source=bl&ots=92PX35OkwX&sig=VtEIYJkBH7fLxIy268lCzCYXnvo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjhtdLrvJ_NAhUG5mMKHX1BCLQQ6AEINzAD#v=onepage&q&f=false www.molonlabemedia.com/2016/04/22/irish-slavery-meme/7/#www.molonlabemedia.com/2016/04/22/irish-slavery-meme/8/ I'm so sick to death with this insufferable white-on-black narrative when it comes to slavery---do people not KNOW what we did to sailors back in the day? We whipped them, repeatedly; with a cat-o-nine-tails when they fucked up. Hell, when they just talked out of turn! This what we used to do to service men! Free citizens. Orphans were turned into apprentice sweeps and shoved up chimneys; these kids died of the black lung as young as 20. And the factories!? Oh, my God, is it any wonder slaves had it bad; but compared to WHAT!? People were just generally shitty to people back then: on a societal scale.
@IggyTthunders, There is a huge difference between whites being enslaved and blacks being enslaved. I'm assuming you don't experience a whole lot of racism being Irish. I think it's also safe to assume slavery hundreds of years ago doesn't affect your status or way of life 150 plus years later, meaning right now.
Is it really fair for all European countries to be blamed because of what the UK did? Does that mean I can get mad at Koreans because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor?
how fucked up is that country that you can even say "you people" or "you guys" in a friendly manner. never thought I'd say this but thank god I live in a third world country.

John NoNameGibbon Sure the British did use the caste system to there advantage and they benefited from India greatly more than any other of there colonies. I think they called India the Jewel of the empire. There Idea was not to change the systems in place unnecessarily but take advantage of those systems.
I did think what you were referring too was debt bondage or the Indenture system as the date 1920 fit perfectly but this is not slavery don't get me wrong I know in many ways it is very similar but basically as bad as the indenture system was slavery was without doubt worse.
"Don't you think it would be in Britain's best interest to try to pretty up their history?"
So you think that Wikipedia is British prettied up history... My point is Britain is not the only one writing history about Britain and there involvement with India and vice versa etc.
"They're technically the most violent empire in European history. Is this really below them?"
Even if I agreed with your first statement here. I don't think it's wise to judge a countries history by reputation as that would be blinding you would just end up believing any history/propaganda that reinforced your prejudice.
BTW there were not 1 billion Indians in 1920 or earlier. If I remember rightly India passed one billion citizens in the year 2000.
Nuff said, peace
lonewolfatdapub It is very much slavery. It was a way to bring slaves out of India. Their caste system only allowed slavery within the society. The caste system never changed, it still remains, so Britain exploited it to the end.
However, they also developed a new system that would allow them to import Indians. Have you ever been to British Guyana in South America? It's the poorest country on the continent. A lot of the citizens there are ex-Indian slaves. They happen to fit in with the rest of South America because they look similar to Native Americans from the region.
Anyway, my point is that it was just a system that was developed to exploit free labor from India (slavery). Empires do this all the time. We go into third world countries to exploit their terrible working conditions and pay them next to nothing. We call that "trade", but we all know what it really is.
And Britain _was_ the most violent Empire in world history, for two simple reasons:
One, they preferred to use settler colonies, while Hapsburg Spain (their forefather) used oligarchy to settle lands. Settler colonies slowly wipe out the Native population of whatever land they are placed in. Two, they were a global empire and held global hegemony. There have only been two in that position before the US, them and Spain.
And about their population, I'm speaking in proportions. The world's population has ballooned times ten ever since the industrial revolution. So in proportions it was still as big.
Actually, I feel that British history is often sugar coated when compared to other empires. Britain has no Black Legend weighing their history down, for example. In fact, their history is often romanticized.
John NoNameGibbon I think you should really read about the Indenture system and perhaps the 1912 Indenture Agreement and then read about slavery and there ( basically zero ) rights.
If you can't see a difference between the two, its quite clear, the labour was not free nor for life generally. I personally won't devalue how bad slavery really was by confusing them.
lonewolfatdapub We can also risk devaluing human suffering by over-analyzing literal words and over indulging in semantics with the whole thing.
It's debt bondage. The keyword being bondage. The mortality rates were also said to have been very high, leading to a labor shortage. In other words, they were slaves that were being worked to death.
This isn't really a foreign concept to me, because as an American, I know that we did similar things with African-Americans not too far back. We granted them "freedom" in the mid nineteenth century, but using various different mechanisms (like said laws Britain used) we actually kept slavery going until the early twentieth century.
In fact, it _still_ exists in a few other mechanisms in our society. Our judges tend to throw blacks in prison disproportionately for crimes that if committed by a white person, would go excused. Well, it just so happens that once in prison you're required to do free labor (or almost free). So this can be seen as another way of enslaving the black population.
I don't deny it, I know it's what we're doing.
The British colonization of India though was a much more peaceful one than the British colonizing North America. The Indians welcomed trade and became close with the brits and adopted much of their democracy but maintained their culture. A lot of Indians are thankful to the brits and sad they left India. Not all colonizations are barbaric, racist or genocidal. A lot of it had to do with allocation of new territory and resources and trading amongst the different cultures with the different commodities the two produced. White European conquest has had its pros and cons on human civilization as has any conquest from any race. Thankyou Bill for adding humour to the mix:)
@MC Sample "Not all colonizations are barbaric, racist or genocidal"
Yes, they absolutely are. ALL of them. You can't take control of someone else's home, property, money, government, etc. without a fight.
Indigenous people don't just allow others to come to their land/country and invade it, there is violence and people die. When Britain invaded India millions of Indians died. They stole from them and starved them. Indians weren't allowed to hold powerful government positions, the Brits took control of that. Britain decided that India should be in WW1, Indians weren't consulted, Britain declared war on India's behalf. When they had enough and tried to protest British rule they were beaten, jailed, and sometimes killed, even the children.
There was peaceful trading in the beginning, just like what happened in America with Native Americans. Neither knew their fate at the time. Millions of Indian lives were lost because of the British "colonizing" India.
I can't imagine where you got your information but it's completely inaccurate. You're stating it as fact when in reality it couldn't be farther from the truth.
Right on
I’m Indian American and find this hilarious
I'm half Black and half Indian and i hate when I get confused for part native american or some kind of terrorist. WRONG COUNTRIES, sums up all my problems involving people talking about my race
+Illuminated Revolution HaHa, get over it bitch
+BPB9973952 stfu u white boy
bring it you little bitch
A lot of Indians are racist (in the confines of their inner community) against Muslims, Blacks, Mexicans, and Orientals (who are also equally racist). Pretty much every large homogeneous population deals with a lot of racism against people that aren't like them.
***** True. I always forget that. Thanks for reminding me.
+Sufi Soul Everyone is aware that anyone can be a Muslim, but when you say "Muslim" the first image of a person you get in your head isn't exactly a white person.
+OurNextGoal Thats right it natural to be suspicious of people who act and look different than your group
Rex Holes Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's right.
the dibble dalble is on patrice oneals one night stand . it was funny
When he mentions the Old or Asian game (great game to play, makes the drive go by a lot quicker), he says he has to pass them to see their faces and he says some other great comedian says that, he's referring to Louis C.K. Both awesome comedians.
Regarding the “dibbu dobbu” Indian bit, it’s puzzling in hindsight that he did not bring up his buddy and hero Patrice O’Neal’s opening gambit here from 2005: ruclips.net/video/iVQOY7UmKik/видео.html
sometimes you get hit with the triple threat, an old Asian woman
I play old, asian, or woman when I drive. I know I am terrible.
What if its all 3? 💀
White people and Indians *do* have a history, but that was Britain's doing.
It's only what the americans did that people don't wanna let go of. It's too good of a guilt trip.
‘Is it racist... probably. But it’s fucken funny’
We, as in the USA, didn't fuck with India much, but the British did. Just a bit.
LMFAOOOOO!!!!! love you bill
Walmart isn’t run by Filipinos.
See what I have to do there, as a white person?!
“I’m not saying anything wrong with Filipinos! Just to be clear here, I have never had any issues!” 😂
I have a strange feeling Bill is not aware of the relationship between the UK and India haha
Yeah "old or Asian" really isn't offensive or racist. I'm Asian.
@zadkiel04 As a fellow black, and a black female at that, I can also say these questions are not racist, they're more commenting on the ridiculousness of racism itself.
dibbadahbuh is funny as fuck
I play that game but i have a third option of is it a woman, old person or asian, a give away is what kind of car it is but a subaru is a hard one.
Johnny Dangerous A Subaru is a dead give away for white girl.
White BMW always asian
yo i play that game too "old or asian" and i'm asian
I work with an Asian kid who always arrives in the morning when I'm out on break in my car. It is hilarious to watch him try to park. He's like backing in out in out for like 5 mins in a space normal people would just pull in once and shut the engine off. I hate the stereotype, but if the shoe fucking fits...
I’m a freaking Bangladeshi and it was god damn funny to me. But may be I’m not too sensible to cultural jokes, thanks to Russell Peters.
Its kinda like 'white men cant jump'
or 'black men cant swim'
Bill...Bill...Two things: Cromwell, and Queen Elizabeth. You're Irish. You should know your culture's history. We were slaves and we were slaves in America well before Africans: the Scots and Irish made up HALF of the slave trade in this country and were the majority slaves in the British colonies before that; because we were cheap, government controlled goods. Do you know what it took to be a slave back in Victorian England? All you had to be was a child left alone for thirty seconds. That's how brutal the slave trade was. You could be anyone. If they collared you and you were a child, you were a slave. There's an account of a botched abduction in 'We were there, too' a compendium of significant children and minorities in western history.

I'm so sick to death with this insufferable white-on-black narrative when it comes to slavery---do people not KNOW what we did to sailors back in the day? We whipped them, repeatedly; with a cat-o-nine-tails when they fucked up. Hell, when they just talked out of turn! This what we used to do to service men! Free citizens. Orphans were turned into apprentice sweeps and shoved up chimneys; these kids died of the black lung as young as 20. And the factories!? Oh, my God, is it any wonder slaves had it bad; but compared to WHAT!? People were just generally shitty to people back then: on a societal scale.
@IggyTthunders, There is a huge difference between whites being enslaved and blacks being enslaved. I'm assuming you don't experience a whole lot of racism being Irish. I think it's also safe to assume slavery hundreds of years ago doesn't affect your status or way of life 150 plus years later, meaning right now.
@pretorious700 actually, I meant under 30 posters.
George Carlin made the joke about wanting to see the other driver's face
I'm pretty sure richard pryor did that joke before Carlin.
Yeah you can't say you guys or you people to black people unless they know you and no one else is around to escalate a non situation.
As an Indian dude, I find dibbu dabbu fuckin hilarious. Although, I would be pissed if someone I didn't know called me that in a malicious manner.
i play fat or pregnant
💀
Without racism there is only money.
Is it really fair for all European countries to be blamed because of what the UK did? Does that mean I can get mad at Koreans because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor?
how fucked up is that country that you can even say "you people" or "you guys" in a friendly manner. never thought I'd say this but thank god I live in a third world country.
I'm Chinese and I just found out why I drive like badly.
later he did say "western society" and England isn't really western, its European.
Indian was a british colony back in the day.. you know ghandi and shit. So i guess, for the british, there might be a beef, i donno. Im Swedish, we only messed with slavic people and the irish and the brittish.. and so on.
Give this man a book about colonialism 😅
no fucking way dude, I thought I was the only one who played old or Asian!!!!!!
we all play "old or Asian" i added "or woman"
Bangladesh is a country. Formerly East Pakistan if I'm not mistaken.
+kobathedread Its on the other side of india so it was not apart of pakistan
Evan Olson East Pakistan (Bengali: পূর্ব পাকিস্তান Pūrbô Pākistān; Urdu: مشرقی پاکستان Mas̱ẖriqī Pākistān IPA: [məʃrɪqiː pɑːkɪst̪ɑːn]), present-day Bangladesh, was a provincial state of Pakistan that existed in the Bengal region of the northeast of South Asia from 1955 until 1971, following the One Unit programme that laid the existence of East Pakistan. You should probably read more.
+kobathedread ok, I read, I just didn't know because it's on the other side but I've been proven wrong and I accept that reality and appreciate the proof you've given me
***** dont worry man its all good
The "dibu-dabu" thing is kinda offensive, mostly because our accents sound nothing like that.
i play the old or asian driver game too
if i call another ethnicity a different species., that doesnt make me ignorant does it?
@IcarusAllsorts Really? I don't think relations between Indian and British people are sensitive at all. Maybe it's only where you live.
You got it right Bill. He was not racist with the "you guys" but the diba daba guy is.
exactly
Dibba dabbu
Haaaaaahaaaahaahahahhaaha
Holy shit I can't breathe
The english did enslave the indians too, they were also called Coolies.
Yeah, The English were obsessed with conquering brown people
So does Coolio's name have a deeper meaning? Or is just a play on 'cool'?
By "we" he means Americans I assume, not English.
@IcarusAllsorts Theyve done a lot of good things too. Who are the best educated and succesfull democratically? Indians or the neigbourhing pakistanians? Who are the best educated and successfull, democratically and economically? African-americans, or "regular" africans? "Imperialism" actually helped their countries out in the long run.
If you wanna see racism parodied in beautiful form, watch "All in the family".
Particularly s02e21.
I guess he doesn't quite know about england colonasing India lol its aight Billy I see what you mean
I play old, Asian, or woman.
is bill and Nia married?
Who's bill
I guess Bill doesn't know that the British ruled India for a couple of centuries.
But he was talking about messing with Indians not people from other Asian countries.
Is it racist to think gingers are the ugliest or last attractive and hot tempered meanies ? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
This dude is crazy
People like to bullshit themselves when it comes to stereotypes
Yeah there's a lot of truth to stereotypes, otherwise they never would have started in the first place.
Im latin american and I eat rice and beans--everyday--so fucking what.
7:41 HAHAHAHA
Calling Jews racist.... is racist.
@ScottishNonBeliever Let's see.....um.....no,and no. Yet I should note that anyone wanting to slap and strangle someone that hasn't done anything to them, or rather just for thinking a certain way most definitely has anger issues. Since you brought it up, would you care to enlighten me on who and what is really behind the power structure in the world?
