Yesterday

In the ongoing series in this place of "When there's no virtue to signal, people's true views spring forth."

Today's lesson in "It's ok to be weird and racist if we don't like the person."

Which is probably slightly better than the previous entry I saw, "Jews. How comes they're like that?"

I just hope a gay guy doesn't do anything this week. Then I'd have to sit through people explaining why homophobic epithets are swell if you mean them the right way.
