Oh, you get a really bad vibe from my friends? I’ll keep that in mind the next time you tell me I have “chinky eyes” and pretend like you’re better than them.
What the actual fuck.
Yeah. People think they get a free pass to say whatever the fuck…
This is astounding to me. Maybe it’s because I’ve known you your whole life and we have other olive skinned/darker people in our family (and I know your dad and still call him Uncle Steve even though he is not my uncle anymore, ha) but seriously?!
Made me wonder if my brother (Matt) or Sammy have ever had people say horrible things to them.
I think it’s a combination of the skin color, the cheekbones, the nose, and my small eyes. Apparently it’s just the right combination to make me look vaguely East Asian even though I am not even a little bit. And even though people fucking know this, they think it’s funny when I correct them or get upset. Because everyone in the fucking world is the fucking orst and should just go jump off of a cliff.
I dunno about matt, but I think people have said stuff to Sam before. She hasn’t told me outright, but my mom commented on how dark her skin had gotten after a beach trip once and how it made her look like she was exotic or something and she got really upset and made some vague comments that made me think someone had said something mean to her about it before. And she’s like Dutch and French, the whitest of the white.
So basically, everyone needs to go die and stop talking.
Yeah- I dunno if I am right about but there has got to be something to the ‘dark’ Cajun theory. Because both Sammy and Matt are olive skinned and they come from some white-ass parents and both share Cajun ancestry.
Also, YOU’RE BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
I know. I’m fucking flawless.
Also what is the dark Cajun theory?
It’s a theory I just made up that I have no historical or scientific basis for.
Basically that there is something mixed in with Cajun ancestry (be it Native American, African American, or Creole, etc) that makes for lovely olive skinned Cajun folk.

Currently at work I am working on the photograph series.
Looking at hot reporters in Vietnam who hated the US government? Count me in.
Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.
So on point.

Sunday’s event was a so-called second line parade, the “second line” referring to all those who join in along the route and follow behind the band, making more of a rolling party than the kind of parade one simply watches. They take place nearly every Sunday between September and May, in the poor and working-class back streets of the city.
Such parades are put on by social aid and pleasure clubs, which function as inner-city relief societies, delivering groceries to shut-ins, buying football uniforms and pooling resources to pay for life’s unexpected invoices, like medical emergencies and funeral costs. They also put on parades once a year in the neighborhood they represent, with the brass bands, Technicolor suits and stops at drinking holes along the way. The parades can cost thousands of dollars, even tens of thousands.
For decades, they happened off the bureaucratic radar, without permits and largely unknown to anyone not directly attached to the marchers. For many New Orleanians — black and white — the parades were, and still are, surrounded by an air of menace.

This movie is so underrated. (Or is it not?) Unrelated, it is fun movie and totally quotable.

I went see this in theatre with Maria for my birthday and I legit guffawed at this line.

Related, I did not like that the Cajun fly was portrayed as toothless, but what can you do.
My Dad watched this with Eva and cried when Ray died because my Dad is a total softie.
