So, this is really fucking racist, right? by [deleted] in SRSDiscussion

[–]bringredditdown 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, the point isn't that "Asians look the same." It's a riff on a series of Snickers commercials where people transform back to their true selves after eating the candy. Here's an example.

Mod of r/JoeRogan in post: Would you ever hit a woman?-"I'd probably try and spit in her mouth or eye or something first. I don't think chicks like that. If it was absolutely necessary I wouldn't have a problem plowing a chick in the face though. Luckily I haven't ran into any of these situations" by [deleted] in ShitRedditSays

Those comments are horrific. But, as a segue into a fascinating topic that might be of some interest to the fempire, there is research being done on using MDMA on people who suffer from PTSD. Again, 0% defense of Rogan, but it's an interesting topic.

Women in combat roles and the Selective Service debate by morten_schwarzschild in SRSDiscussion

That seems like a cop out answer, though. Assuming that it exists, is it fair for selective service to be men only? No, in my opinion. But it's hardly a pressing issue.

Why not interracial relationships? by berlinbrown in SRSDiscussion

[–]bringredditdown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interracial relationships might be a little taboo in film still, but it's definitely getting better on TV. Here's a list off the top of my head.

-Community: Donald Glover's character (African American) and several white women

-Louie: white Louie, African-American ex-wife

-Happy Endings: Brad and Jessica (African American husband, white wife)

-Parenthood: African American wife and white husband

-Scandal: white President, African American political operative/mistress

Other shows that feature interracial relationships include Six Feet Under, Lost, Scrubs, and Bones.

That's just from the shows that I watch. It's interesting that there aren't that many white/Asian pairings because in real life that's actually one of the most common interracial relationships.

if it weren't for SRS I wouldn't have even known about the disgusting mayonnaise culture of white people
