| The characters on Seinfeld were widely recognized as Jewish. It wasn't seen as a negative, and one didn't have to be Jewish to enjoy the humor. Likewise shows in which the main characters were presented as Irish or Italian. Perhaps in NY? definitely not in Australia. My parents watched Paul Reiser,... |

| In the 1970s, in West Baltimore, there was a sharp boundary between the black West Baltimore "ghetto" and poor white Southwest Baltimore. It occurred to me that, although both sides of that boundary were poor, the black side had a certain "grimness" to it that the white side lack... |

Do you prefer the look of big or small nipples, or both/neither?
I think I like most nipples so long as they're not really weird looking, and I apologize to anyone who thinks their nipples look weird. |

| I feel bad for the Asians living here in the US in general who are caught in between the CCP's BS and the BS of the MAGAs who can't even tell a Chinese person apart from every other East Asian ethnicity. Some I can differentiate between with reasonable accuracy, others not so much - it'd be a guess... |

| They don't buy into wokeism because they see parallels with the CCP they fled so of course they believe wokism is not in their interest. My daughter-in-law is the child of Chinese immigrants, and it's been my impression that she's fairly "woke", or at least my wife seems to think so. I al... |

| Lately there has been a huge increase in anti-Chinese propaganda, as well as anti-Jewish propaganda. I don't know whether it equates to wokeism. I'm inclined to think it's a thing unto itself. Plenty of people who have no truck with wokeism are perfectly fine with being antisemitic or anti-Chinese. |
