That's because you're a sucker who reads too much into url's and web banners.

At dinner a couple nights ago my wife was trying to feed my son some white rice, which he has liked in the past, but he refused it vehemently. "What's he got against rice all of a sudden?" she asked me.

"He's ricist," I replied.

Just like you, she hated me for it, but she laughed.

Sounds like a case of once bitten, rice shy.

You guys have called me a racist in the past for some reason. Let me let you in on something, you people have no idea what racism is. I moved to South Carolina for work a few months ago and WOW, there are some REAL RACIST people here. It's wrong to generalize so I won't. For the most part everyone is very tolerant and race neutral, but when you run into a racist, they are not shy about it. I used to like a good racist, sexist, or religious joke. but now, it really makes me cringe. Some of these people actually believe the stereotypes! I was here for the Ft Sumter re-enactment that many black groups found offensive. The reallity is that most of the people don't yearn for the return of slavery (afterall all former slave owners are dead) but they do yearn for the old days of an agricultural economy that made the south so prosperous.

my fax machine went down at work yesterday so I call verizon to come check the lines..about an hour or so later, a guy (middle age, white guy) walks in and fixes the line for us. As I'm signing his paperwork, he asks me if I've seen a picture of the new West Point Commandant, which was officially announced the day before. Seeing as no one I work with had seen any pics yet, I should have known the guy was setting me up - he opened his newspaper and turned to a picture of a black guy on a podium speaking at a local school budget meeting. He tells me thats the new comm and proceeds with "uh, hello there students - this be your new comm, etc... Could you imagine if THAT GUY was in charge of the cadets??"

He left after I didnt crack a smile, clearly aware that I didnt find it funny, but I wish I would have thrown his ass out..
