There were a lot of negative developments in American race relations over the 2010s, so the fact that Reputation was Taylor Swift’s worst album wasn’t in the top 20, but long-term it probably was in the top 40.
The “a Black sheriff?!” conceit of Blazing Saddles (1974) was really about how race interacted with the sort of postwar American identity mythologized in cowboy movies, the actual Western frontier was the most likely place in American history to find a Black man in a respected position of authority over whites until the post-Vietnam military.
“Bee Movie” kinda runs on the analogy that bees are Jewish people and that mosquitos are black people, but no one has bothered wrangling with that because it’s not even in the top 3 strangest things going on here
You see where the culture’s head is at with all the stuff about the affirmative action case being read in terms of the old black-white conflict and ignoring that the actual case is probably the most important Supreme Court decision regarding specifically asians since Korematsu, and represents another in a recent series of high-profile moves of Asian-American political identity away from that paradigm and it’s Dem-liberal administrators in ways similar to “white ethnics” of the 70s.
I’m sorry I am going nuts here whether to parse “Seasoning Americans” as “Americans living at a second home in select seasons, also OP is European or something” or “Americans who flavor things”
he means black people. see recent controversies about fresh herbs
Oh, as by contrast to the unseasoned white people food meme
So I guess he DID mean “Americans who flavor things”
I used to think I was specifically "into asians", but then I realized I'm not that attracted to asian american girls, and later I realized I *am* attracted to weeby white girls who wear japanese style makeup. And it became apparent that what I'm *actually* into is east asian beauty standards, irrespective of race. Not sure why I'm sending this to you other than that I figure you'll have some analysis.
I remember starting in the 90s it was a big thing like “ooh, asian girls” but it was largely that a generation had grown up with the daughters of the ‘70s immigrant wave, at least in California, and that was a novelty to process through the culture
And then I was into asian porn, but that was kinda that Japanese porn would still be like “here’s the prettiest girl you’ve seen on the street today, styled and shot to suggest achievable sexual fantasies” while American thumbnail gallery post-era stuff was like “here’s a 34-year-old stripper 30 minutes outside of Akron wearing a tartan skirt and spreading her labia”
