Offending my skinny white American girl daughter (or am I a racist?)

I'd double down and build a rickshaw and have her pull you around with it. Or maybe go grocery shopping with it and buy all the lettuce.

Haha, sounds exactly like something I would do. My wife would say it's because I'm an asshole and I like being the antagonist. I would say it's just my twisted sense of humor :LOL:
 
I ignore most of it (of course I'm a whitey cracker) but then where I grew up my grandmother spoke of Negros as "darkies" and think how many names to describe those with blackish skin it has taken to get to today's blacks- granny was not thinking lower of blacks- she just needed a way to refer to those of a different skin color.. Same place in the land of Hoosiers (not tires) where our creek bottoms were lined with "niggerheads" — had no idea this calling of rocks was racist and had no idea that the proper name was geodes (which I later learned in University). In that era- pre-civil rights demo days we never even thought of color as all men we created equal in our minds until someone got it in their mind during the 60's we were racist pigs and tried to harm us or scream murder at us. Now I am not saying that there are not white racists or black racists but we sure do get carried away with overthinking the politically correct way. I have met a lot of really cool, smart and great folks over the years that were of every race- far more than were racists.
I have a Korean born adopted 36 year old daughter and I never see or think of her of anything but same as the rest of my kids. The real laugh though is when my extremely liberal mother in law who was always wanting to make sure that everyone knew she was no racist referred to my daughter's race as oriental and once commented that perhaps she would prefer to be "with her people" though she had lived with us since 5 months of age. When mother in law said that we were all sitting around a restaurant table with my daughter and all but MIL about split a gut rolling eyes and choking back laughter and MIL had not one ounce of clue what she said.

Sounds like the college is doing a good job brainwashing your daughter.

More importantly is your daughter single? LOL
 
Being a 41 year old person with according to my parents, a Heinz 57 background, I can't stand the younger generations constant bitching that every comment is a racist or communistic undertone. They are called stereotypes or generalizations people... deal with it! I'm sorry, but if you partake in Specialty foods you deserve a little social stigma it only impacted the entire planet. I think I'd rather go back to the times of ignorant bliss and stereotypes, when "social media influencer" wasn't a job opportunity and a fight actually involved fists. ;)
 
Yep, they are also the “trial by Twitter” folks (aka guilty until proven innocent) and the ones who will complain because a guy in a Peloton exercise bike commercial gave his wife an exercise bike for Christmas, so he must be trying to insinuate she’s “fat”. 🙄
Or give another option other being in the kitchen next to the stove.

Damn it. I also heard that she got into hot water for being friends or friendly with George W. Bush :sick:.

Actually I know of her, not because I've ever watched her talk show, but because somehow I know the sitcom Ellen. I assume my sister watched it when I was growing up, but I don't remember anything other than the sitcom Ellen.

...There now you can see some of my shame....I think I'm gonna go drive a tractor for a bit to feel better...
