	Re: I;ve met him in meatspace lindentreeisle 2007-03-03 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Possible. Also if he's not a serial wanker, it's possible that this is just his hot-button issue. Lots of people have at least one thing they can get quite wanktastic over- I myself started a 46-comment bitchfight with one guy over a half-sarcastic one-liner that for whatever reason (stressful day?) made me completely lose my shit.

Many, many years ago, when casual racism was more acceptable, my uncles Jimmy & Michael had a bit of a running joke. Uncle Jimmy (who lived in America) would always tell Uncle Michael (who lived in Ireland), that the only way to get ahead in America was to take advantage of the welfare system by adopting lots of black babies.

Gradually, Auntie Marie & Uncle Jimmy realise they can't have children. They get desperate. They go to Brazil & adopt a baby. It's much cheaper to adopt a black baby, so they do.

They forgot all about their little joke until quite recently when Uncle Michael, forgetting totally about my cousin, said 'Jimmy, do people still have to adopt black babies to get on in America?'

Cue looks of bewilderment & horror from everyone in the room, except for my mum, who ran out the door giggling like a mad thing.

No, you fucktard. I'm whining because there are hundreds for hispanics, blacks, gays, women, but none for straight white males. Now you're just being a fucking asshole.

I'm just boggling at this bit, where he whines about being so poor that he and the rest of his four-person family had to live in a two-bedroom house with one bathroom. O WOE IS HIM. I grew up in an apartment in New York City that was exactly the same size as his house, and I always felt that our situation was quite luxurious compared to the way most people lived. I mean, really. Four people having to share one bathroom? Oh the humanity!
