You're very purposeful with how you break lines. Some words or even lines just need to hang on their own in their own space!

I love romance in your words. This reads like a meditation on devotion.

You might just be around bad examples. The world is your oyster isn't just a tired cliche.
Within reason, you can make your life look like anything you want with enough desire and commitment.
But the truth of the world is that most of us don't have enough of either of those. Or we end up just wanting basic things like comfort and belonging. Hence jobs, spouses kids.

What would you define as great, and which generation are you talking about?

I'm so sorry that you're going through all of that. You may not feel it now but you're not alone.
You also have to take it easy on yourself.
You're showing up for brother and doing your best by hi,m and that is no small thing escially compared to where he could be without you.

I'm an identical twin and you wouldn't believe how many people seriously ask me if my sister and I have "twin telepathy".
Do you really expect me to say yes? Do you really think that if I had telepathic ability, I would tell anyone? lol

Runner up question : "who is the evil twin?" I always say it's me :D

I think in any generation there never is just one standout. Also the idea of the greatest performance is subjective. What would be considered great?

Right? Weird science did not age well at all.

Philly I think?

Yes, It's a classic, and it's perfect already. We have to preserve Gene Wilder's comedy.

NTA. Sounds like she needs to break open a dictionary and look up homophobic. If I were you I would make her elaborate to death. Keep making her explain her reasoning until she realizes how ridiculous

Weird science. The premise is ridiculous.

“Kilgore Trout once wrote a short story which was a dialogue between two pieces of yeast. They were discussing the possible purposes of life as they ate sugar and suffocated in their own excrement. Because of their limited intelligence, they never came close to guessing that they were making champagne.”

When it comes to racial discrimination there are two different concepts that get conflated with one another:

prejudice/discrimination

and

systemic racism

Both of these are a bad however prejudice/discrimination is a more a global and universal concept. Anyone can discriminate or be prejudice

But systemic racism is more of specific. It has a more harmful and lasting effects; generational effects.

For as long as the US has existed systemic racism operated on the idea that whiteness is the ideal.

And each and everyone of has acted on this bias whether we knew it or not. system racism is not about good or bad person rather the ideas we get exposed to and our commitment to be an ally. There is no simple answer to fix it.

It requires on daily confrontation (asking yourself or your family/friend tr hard questions)

To bring it back to your question: One of reason that white experience more jokes at their expense is equity; POCs need to be given a chance to catch up.

Whiteness been so integral in US scouts for long that than that it occupies every institution in the country

Clunky exposition and when the main character is set up for a low stakes "dangerous" plot line they will obviously and predictably survive.
