Save me from these jerks

"I'm not like those religious bigots, I'm an atheist, and I've found ~scientific excuses~ for being the exact same kind of bigoted as Christian fundamentalists! Have you ever read The Bell Curve?"

YMMV, of course

I would never, ever tell a parent that the name they picked for their kid is terrible, and I definitely won't tell someone that their own name is terrible.

But good grief. So many popular names today are terrible.

Thanks, mom and dad! You turned me into a great anti-racism tool!

Someone asked me how I managed to remain so calm while a white supremacist was yelling particularly vile white supremacist crap at me.

I'm pretty sure "a quarter century of abuse means that I can dissociate on a dime" was not the answer they were looking for.

Don't you just love reading something about "Europe" that straight-up forgets that anything east of Germany exists?

Maybe others too?

I'm entertained by the fact that, depending on how metaphorical you want to get, "Obi-Wan killed your father", "Darth Vader killed your father", and "Palpatine killed your father" are all true statements to say to Luke.

Ha ha, those foreigners with their non-English names! Sooooo funny! /s

Yes, it's totally funny and not racist at all to suggest random keysmashes when asked if you know any names originating from a culture that isn't yours.

Jackass.

...some people

Remember the dude who named his kids Aryan Nation and Adolf Hitler? Turns out he was abusing them and the kids ended up in foster care.

I am so surprised! Absolutely shocked! How could anyone have possibly predicted that authoritarian political beliefs correlate to authoritarian (read: abusive) personal lives? /s
