Sometimes I think I should spend more time with white people. After all, I seem to end up in a lot of conversations with friends and acquaintances about how whitey is keeping various individuals down, and although I sympathize, eventually I start to feel like some sort of white devil or apologist for European assholery through the ages. I think I would much prefer to be one of those blissfully ignorant members of my tribe who don't have a thought in their blond, blue-eyed heads about whomever they are currently oppressing. Instead, my friends are all, racism this, imperialism that--and while I agree that a great number of injustices have been and continue to be committed by palefaces, I think it's only fair to remember that for every subjugated race or poorly executed dance move, we came up with some good stuff too. Like polka. And Canada. And the Republican Party.
Okay, never mind.
