here's one for everyone else: it's never racist to do a white Australian person's accent. it's always hilarious, do it as much as you want, you all get a free pass on this one

Change every letter A to an E, E becomes I, I becomes O, O becomes U and U becomes A. Isn't universal, for example I'd say Auckland is pronounced Ucklind, bit it'll get you pretty close.

Italian Americans predate Italy. Also they are white, and you can't be racist against white people, on account of they hold all the race cards.

At first I reject this since muscular femboys seemed wrong, but then I realized you don't need to want to grow big muscles to go the gym, maybe you just want to get fit. Thank you memes thread for making me understand a concept's hidden depth.

The mods don't care about hate speech unless it hurts their feelings personally, and it's really hard to remember what will set any one of them off at any given time. It's a losing battle

It was six months ago that someone ate a probe for calling a celebrity Frenchman a “frog”. It still brings a smile to my face.
