Oh, ew, Sean!

I went through that at one point too, where my landlady/housemate had a boyfriend whom I discovered in the course of conversation was a racist and an anti-Semite. He wanted to know how I could be Catholic, if Jesus was Jewish.

... yeah, it made no sense to me, either. Since I always thought that half the point of anti-Semitism was that they weren't in fact Christian. Confused the hell out of me.

Thankfully, she broke up with him not long afterwards. I never did tell her about that conversation. But she must have known.

Creeptastic Sean. How awful to have that crap under your roof.

Password protection is your friend.

As are frequent and loud playings of They Might Be Giants' "You And Your Racist Friend."

Yeeesh.

Weird roommate stuff deleted.

Sean, that's creepy and weird. Ugh.

However, and I don't mean this in a flip way at all, I think your stuff is safe. Just b/c his beliefs are repugnant -- and they ARE, totally -- doesn't automatically mean he'll fuck with your stuff.

Still, ugh.

People can get creative when they want to be oppressed.

first when my roommate made the rather bold claim that white males are the only group that is legally oppressed by federal law in this country,

So...your friend has never looked at the pictures of CEOs in the Fortune 500 I presume.

I'm pretty hot and bothered by this, and stunned almost beyond the capacity for rational thought.

Go listen to TMBG's "Your Racist Friend." It'll help focus the righteous anger, so it won't just make you all het up.

Gah, Sean, I'm thoroughly creeped out on your behalf. (And I think you need a new cool roommate. One who won't run off to fucking Tucson on you.)

One who won't run off to fucking Tucson on you.

No harshing on the old roomie. He did what he had to do. But yes, I agree with your salient point.

Oh my word, Sean. I am so sorry. I don't know what kind of filthy rock someone must live under, to be able to deny the holocaust.
