    This second term is far worse. Traveled Mississippi with my Asian wife last weekend. Folks were not nearly as friendly as usual. I was like, the fuck?

    She’s Filipino (half-Japanese), so basically an Asian Mexican, and no shit, these white racists can’t tell the difference. Did the slanty eyes not clue you in?!

    Only times I’ve felt unwelcome in that state was 20-years ago when blacks gave my white-ass the side eye. Now black folk are friendly enough and it’s the whites looking at me funny.

    Expecting that whole state to collapse in on itself like the house at the end of Poltergeist.
