I went ahead and put a strike through the offensive words so
dumb Americans can see how the sentence would actually read if
they weren't so fucken racist themselves!

Did The Pandemic Just Reveal How Dumb Americans Are?

> At times when the world descends into chaos and destruction,
Americans will not take charge of the situation and save the day
with a superhero task force.

> The coronavirus pandemic has proved that in a crisis, what
happens is that the world would watch America with concern and
disgust as it brings about its destruction and makes wildly
inaccurate claims, blaming everyone but themselves for the
problem at hand.

Are Americans Just Stupid?

> Be honest. As an observer of American society, the thought may
have crossed your mind at one time or another – at least for a
fleeting moment or two – that the nation's dysfunctional state
of affairs is the result of widespread stupidity. The people,
too often misinformed and poorly educated, are getting exactly
the democracy they deserve.

> Home appraisal for Black couple skyrockets after white friend
pretends to be homeowner
> ...
> Paul Austin and his wife, Tenisha Tate Austin, of Marin City
purchased their first home off-market from another Black family
in 2016. After moving in, they made $400,000 in renovations to
the house, which was originally built in the 1960s. The couple
reportedly added another 1,000 square feet of space with an
entire floor. They also built a deck, new floors, a fireplace
and added new appliances, per ABC7.
>
> However, once they had the home appraised, they believe it was
undervalued due to their race.
>
> “I read the appraisal,” Tate Austin told ABC7. “I looked at
the number I was like, ‘This is unbelievable.'”
>
> Their appraiser was an older white woman who reportedly used
coded language like “Marin City is a distinct area” in her
estimate. The home appraised for $989,000, which the Austins
claim is $100K more than what they had it appraised for prior to
the hundreds of thousands in major renovations they made.
>
> After months of complaining to their lender about what Austin
described as “a slap in the face,” he and his wife were approved
for a second appraisal. This time, they turned to a white friend
for help with the process.
>
> “We had a conversation with one of our white friends, and she
said, ‘No problem. I’ll be Tenisha. I’ll bring over some
pictures of my family,'” Austin said. “She made our home look
like it belonged to her.”
>
> After the appraiser and the Austins’ white-woman
co-conspirator had their meet-up moment at the house, the value
of the home increased by nearly 50%. According to the report, it
was then appraised for $1,482,000 — a whopping $493,000 more.
>
> Theirs is yet another example of the racism that Black people
face with the housing market in the United States, the Austins
claim.
>
> “There are implications to our ability to create generational
wealth or passing things on if our houses appraise for 50
percent less” than their value, said Tate Austin.
> ...
> According to real estate brokerage firm Redfin, only 44% of
Black Americans owned their home in 2020, compared to 74% of
white Americans.

It is not "systemic racism", it is simply infiltration by Karens
into every sector of society. The solution is not to tweak the
system, but to eliminate the Karens.

of East Asian descent.

racist gesture by pulling her eyes up and down during a Zoom
lesson, explaining to students that this is how to identify
someone’s ethnicity. “If your eyes go up, you’re Chinese,”
Burkett said, pulling her eyes out and upwards. “If they go
down, they’re Japanese. If they’re just straight, you don’t

have little security tags all over them. But they don't for the

actually saying that you're racist."

Steve Carell Karen:
HTML https://us.yahoo.com/news/office-actress-speaks-show-racist-224303220.html
--- Quote ---
> “The Office” has come under fire for its portrayal of Asian
Americans after an actress spoke out about her experience on the
hit NBC sitcom. Kat Ahn, who starred as Amy in the holiday
episode “A Benihana Christmas,” recalled her time on the show
eight years after its finale, according to the Washington Post.
In the episode, Steve Carell’s character, Michael Scott, has
lunch at the popular Japanese steakhouse chain restaurant which
he calls “Asian Hooters.” He invites two Asian waitresses to an
office holiday party, marking one of them with ink to tell them
apart. He then shows up at the party with two completely
different Asian women. Ahn recalled that a coworker at one of
her office jobs following her appearance on the show attempted
to write on her arm in a nod to the “joke.” The Korean American
actress said in a TikTok video from January that she and another
Asian American actress were the “uglier versions” of the
actresses that played the Benihana workers. “All asian people
look alike— we’re one big monolith and one we’re just one big
walking stereotype without any personality or individuality,”
she says about the episode’s message. “The whole joke was that
all Asians look alike and that’s why Michael Scott couldn’t tell
us apart. #problematic”
