Just want to add I do see that there may be room for prejudice against the culture. I did live in europe for a few years and did see the separation of the Roma culture. It just isn’t that prevalent here for most to form an opinion. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > Obviously I understand there are cultural differences. But that does not equal race. Its the OP who keeps bringing up white people and seems to not understand that white does not equal WASP. I find it funny because I have never seen anyone who doesn’t consider roma as caucasion. We are talking about texas and america. Most people will have no idea what roma is and would need a class on why they should be prejudiced. **ZPG Zealot** also refers to any white person who doesn’t agree with her as a narrow minded WASP. She could probably come across a group of hillbillies, a group of Catholic schoolgirls, and a group of Jews, and refer to them all as WASPs. ---

Oy gevalt, I just read the nephew thread. Maybe ZPG Zealot should just take the Der Trihs route and record nephew & girlfriend every time they have sex, so that when girlfriend cries RAPE!!! on nephew’s 17th birthday she can whip out the tapes as evidence. I wonder how ZPG Zealot feels about (ominous chord) fist bumps? ---

Agreed, **Loach**. Plus considering her statements about supposedly destroying his cell phone over pics, I’m worried whether such a complaint might result in no action over the sexual activity but child porn charges over some nekkid pics that either might have taken of themselves and forwarded to the other. I know I’ve read stories about teens getting busted for “child porn” even when the pic is of their BF/GF/their own self, but hell if I’m going to Google that subject on my workplace’s network. ---

I think La Avispa Latina would be an awesome name for a female wrestler. Comes with its own motif for the uniform, too! ---

You know, I really was willing to believe she was just nuts, but then I realized she was calling Texas the Old South. Anyone with a vague understanding of southern culture would know that Texas is sure as fuck not “the Old South.” The Old South consists of: Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. In contrast, there’s the Deep South: Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi. There are a lot of “southern” states that don’t count as either, and they know it. Now, people in Texas can call themselves southern. People in Florida do, too. But they ain’t the Deep South and they ain’t the Old South and if you know what the South is, you know that. This would be akin to someone living in New Mexico and describing herself as a west coaster. ---

Oh, my God, I almost fell out of my chair. 😛 **ZPG Z.** is nuts - legit nuts, to quote a Get Fuzzy comic from a while ago that I’m not finding online now to link to, sorry - but if it weren’t for the occasional loon this place would be boring as hell. ---
