That's fantastic, Typo. Crossing my fingers for a huge impact.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sounds cool, Typo.
OK, a friend of mine on FB (who is a local friend, but who I don't see a lot in person lately) apparently attended a "cholo" party where they all dressed up and took pictures and so on. I know this because she mentioned it as being "fun" and posted pictures. I'm hesitant to comment on the pictures or status because several other people I don't know are tagged in them, and I don't want to start shit, but...is my other option "message her on facebook and say OMG DO YOU NOT GET HOW THIS IS FUCKING RACIST"?

They should meet my cholo ex-students.

Compassionately intolerant
Lord. They should meet some of the cholos from my childhood.
How is that even _funny_, much less can't you see how racist that is?
People.

One of my former co-workers throws a "White Trash" party for one of the summer holidays. Same type of thing. Come in your favorite redneck outfit. Fake buck teeth. John Deere hats. If it's not racist (reverse?), it sure is social/economist(sp?? are those terms). Guess I don't find the entertainment in making fun of people who are worse off than I am.

I could see it if you grew up in a particular community and this is a way of honoring your roots, but outside of that shit, really problematic.
