Yet they are so loving divided. Kanye still will sell albums but Colin can’t get a loving job anymore.

Kanye is a goddamn clown.

Kanye also makes great music, and his idiocy is the result of trying to be intellectual without reading any books. He is also rich which can cause severe brain damage in individuals.

Immigrants assimilating to their host culture is racist now? What the poo poo

I wouldn't accuse someone of being racist for using that phrase, but it's pretty long in the tooth. Working together harmoniously without borg-like assimilation or "otherising" people who hang on to some traditions and cultural elements is multiculturalism, rather than what's usually meant by being a "melting pot."

Hell, even the play "the melting pot" wasn't exactly about abandoning identity and assimilating to the norms of America, but rather about not letting past wrongs and hatred persist as people from a variety of cultures work together toward a better future.

So plenty of people mean very well when they say melting pot. But at the time the phrase was coined, segregation was very alive, women couldn't vote, etc, so when someone who doesn't look or think like Judeo-Christian white dudes is told that in America, it's a melting pot where we all just become "American," it can sure sound like "do what the white guys do."

I like American cheese best. Then second best is Kraft Cheddar. Sure, some people say Caciocavallo Podolico or Beaufort D'Ete are good cheeses, and they're great, but me, I like American best. And then cheddar.

Also, "melting pot" is not a cooking reference but a metallurgy reference. The metals alloyed in a melting pot come out as a stronger whole due to their interactions.

Yeah fair enough. I'd say the vast majority of Americans are pretty benign when they use the term "melting pot" but I understand we have a history of hypocrisy there.

It's more like a fusion restaurant.

Also no one melts things in pots anymore anyway. Soup comes in cans and are stovetop cooked or microwaved.

I think I already told this story but it's fresh in my mind so here it goes again:

A few years back I was in Chicago for a while and made an OKCupid profile to score easy women off the internet. I started talking to an asian girl who didn't have any clear pictures of herself on her dating profile. She was down to gently caress the Honeyboy after a night of seductive OKC messages so she gave me her number and address and I drove down to get my freak on.

She lives in Boystown. For those who don't know where Boystown is, it's an area of Chicago where all the gays hang out. We were gonna go to a movie in Boystown's theater and then back to her place for nasty interracial sex.

So I'm driving around Boystown by the movie theater and I see an asian girl standing on the street corner. I'm like 'oh gently caress thats gotta be her' because she had the same body type as the girl's OKC profile. So I slow down in my car and wave at her through the front window. She sees me and comes up to my driver's side window and that's when I see it's a loving man.

Like he had a five o'clock shadow and everything. He looked like Mr. Miyagi with a wig on. So I didn't ask any loving questions I just got out of my car and started beating his rear end. Like I went full Tekken combo on this decadent son of Sodom. Then I spit on him and got back in my car and started driving home.

A few minutes later she starts calling my cell and I pick up because I'm ready to talk mad poo poo to this tranny that tried to trick me into going on a date with him. But it was a woman's voice saying 'Where the gently caress are you? You're fifteen minutes late.'

'Uh, is this not just the person I just met?'

'No? What the gently caress I'm still waiting outside the theater'

And that's when I realized I had unwittingly beat up a tranny prostitute. He probably saw me waving at him through my car window and thought I was a John. So I didn't go out on the date that night I just drove home and jerked off. I still feel bad for doing that though. The prostitute was probably like 'Oh theres a John I'm gonna make some cash tonight' but instead he got dropped.
