The suffering of the Welsh will just be collateral damage. Charles is Jesus (i.e. son of the Virgin queen)? And Welsh? It figures- God returns to give the rest of his message but it’s in a language that makes no sense to anybody but Catherine Zeta Jones. ---

I really like Grand Prix races, but find Formula 1 mostly boring. And I’m secretly impressed by top fuel dragsters but generally have no use for NASCAR (except the funny car stuff, that’s not bad). What kind of a racist does that make me? ---

I’m not racist, but I must admit, I do stereotype gay people. Maybe it’s just my own experience, but every gay person I’ve ever met seems to be sexually attracted to people of their own gender, and based on this, it’s an assumption I can’t stop myself from making about every gay person I meet. It’s wrong, I know, and I’m trying to work on it. It’d be easier, I think, if I met and got to know a few gay people who didn’t exemplify the stereotype. You know, like hanging out with a black guy who’s allergic to watermelon, or a French girl who just got out of the shower. Helps break the mental mold. Anyone have any suggestions? ---

Confirmation bias. ---

As a Jew of German and Russian ancestry, I’m confused. So I should be an amazing academic, punctual and gentle? I’m sorry. I just cannot manage punctual. For a while I dated a Panamanian woman ( I called her my little Panamaniac. There may have been a whole song). I dreamed of eventually marrying her and moving to the suburbs in a nice house with a white picket fence where we would raise children who were peach with brown stripes (or brown with peach stripes if you prefer). In the end, the relationship did not work out because she was not Jewish. On A Serious Note This is the first time I’ve heard Russians stereotyped as gentle. Around here in northeast Philadelphia, we have plenty of Ex Soviets. The stereotype (I’m acknowledging it exists, not that it is correct) is that they are loud, impolite, and angry.
