I won't be buying any more Lush products. If you blog about it, let me know if I can link to it?
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Really? Really, it's about "pronunciation difficulties"?
OH! I think that was actually my fault. Awkward wording that they cut and pasted into their response.
It's about there being a different linguistic sound in a language you don't fucking speak, that your ear can't hear or respond to, asshole.
YES! This is what I meant but my brain couldn't find the right words for it.

I'm going to post over in DW/LJ. Would you guys object to me quoting the responses you've received?

Okay, good. I wondered where they pulled that from. If they were responding to you, it's not so bad.

Except embarrassing that I wrote something so bad! I just wanted to send it off quick before I got distracted and forgot.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
No, it's fine, lisah. I just thought they pulled that out of the air, which was a weird way to respond, I thought. As a bit coming from you, trying to address with them what the problem is, it's fine.
I totally don't want you to come away from this feeling badly. You publicly objected to an incidence of casual racism that you saw, and that's a marvelous thing and you should be lauded for it.

Also, one of the superconservative people on my friendslist just posted an article about how Obama's trip to India will include a visit to the Taj Mahal. Based on other things she's posted, I'm pretty sure she means it as some sort of indicting religious thing. No one else has commented yet. Should I: a) ignore it, because supporter, b) ask why she's posted the link, or c) comment saying wow, that's great, I've always wanted to see the Taj Mahal?

Jesus Christ, it's the fucking TAJ MAHAL. It's a goddamn Wonder of the World. I vote C.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But you see, the fact that Obama is going to visit something that's religious and not Christian means, um... a bunch of stuff that shows Obama hates Christians and Christians in the US are an oppressed minority and whatnot....

Is it also a mosque? I thought it was just a mausoleum.
