LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Guest editor: Uncle Nailglue

Dear gentle readers and fiends:

Let's consider the following brash generalizations together, with open minds, after a few drinks, keeping in mind that they are generalizations, and not necessarily truth:

Muslim ideology is opposed to the western way of life.

Western ideology is opposed to everybody - even Western people.

Everybody thinks Asians look alike.

Israelis think they own the same land the Palestinians do.

White people watch anime and tweak Asian cars.

Asian people draw their anime with big round eyes.

Asians are the invisible minority in America - the well behaved.

Asians blend together in western consciousness - everyone is Chinese.

Europeans think they're superior to Americans.

Americans think they're superior to everybody else.

Black people aren't necessarily African.

Africans aren't necessarily black.

"Casino Indians" aren't the same as "Reservation Indians" aren't the same as men and women who grew up in Mumbai or Hyderabad or Bangalore or Srinagar .

The worst thing a black man can say to a white man is "I'm fucking your daughter/wife."

Affirmative action is no longer necessary.

The same churches of the same religions often have completely different styles of service.

(Drug) laws and criminal sentences are much tougher on minorities.

Pretty much all drug laws are retarded, useless, unnecessary.

Richard Pryor and Dave Chapelle have done more for the advancement of racial discussion than any sensitivity training or official race discussions in the past twenty five years - maybe longer.

Diversity training promotes escapism, excuses and meaningless symbolic gestures.

It is taken for granted in Pittsburgh that everyone drinks Iron City, goes to Primanti's and eats Pierogies. But black people probably aren't really doing any of those things very often. Or any other minority group, for that matter.

How about this statement at the helm of a new public relations campaign for the City of Pittsburgh : Middle Class Blacks and A Town that Doesn't Love Them.

Gay bars have uniquely heterogeneous patrons.

Political correctness hasn't had much of a positive effect on anything.

Asian women do not have slanted vaginas. I have explored this.

There is no such thing as Reverse Discrimination. Discrimination is discrimination.

Racial consciousness is an integral part of American living. Everyone is fighting for identity.

The new method of separation is rank-ism.

The one thing that oppresses everyone is money.

Black poverty is result of 30 years of misguided welfare rather than racism. (this is stolen from John McWhorter, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.)

These are not ideas to be taken lightly. Or perhaps they are. Regardless, racism does nothing for us here - it's an issue that should be dead and buried, with easy solutions (namely: education, open-mindedness and the willingness to communicate peacefully) that'll likely never come to fruition uniformly, in our lifetime, throughout society. Unless we force them to. Even then, probably not.

Oh, and here's a few more:

Governments/foundations should no longer sponsor public relation campaigns to encourage human beings to experience other human beings in a constructive way.

The NAACP, the Klan and the 700 Club have outlived their worth.

You are not your neighbor.

Jesus was not Caucasian.

All vagina is pink on the inside.

All semen is white and tastes terrible.

Everybody bleeds red - Pantone 1797C.

Interracial procreation - and the willingness to breed/fuck outside our race - will heal our nations racial tensions, both semantically and ethically. Ask your momma.

If you're going to spread hatred, why use race? There are so many other options!

Your affectionate uncle,

Nailglue
