Can’t wait to hear it. I’m working my way backwards through their episodes. Any idea how long ago they did it?

Fucking unbelievable.
USA does offer a substantially better quality of life compared to many other places>
Lol no. It “offers” the mirage of a better quality of life. That’s like saying that gambling is a job that will invariably improve your economic position. The chances of immigrants actually improving their life by moving to the U.S. aren’t that good. I mean, most of the countries that people move from at least have socialized healthcare.
PSA, you can find a few CD episodes on the MTV Vault YouTube channel. Also, fuck YouTube.
My friend ran into a mutual acquaintance; dude’s now a majorly homophobic, anti trans, anti lgbtq, far right, freedumb convoy supporting redneck. You know the type. He’s ranting about how social programs need to be defunded and all the gays do is take and don’t contribute. My buddy then goes “so anyway, how’ve you been?” Dude says “oh I’m great! I got laid off so now I’m on employment insurance.”
Their hypocrisy and tone deafness know no bounds.
Boohoo fuck ticketmaster. Spineless bastards… no honour among thieves with these fucks.
So you still don’t get the point. Sure, this person scammed fb. The fact that they were the diversity program manager is irrelevant and not the cause for lack of morals and ethics. You’re conflating two separate issues and saying that anyone who supports DEI will steal your wife.
You can be an honest person, and that’s good. You can be honest and support DEI. That makes you a better person.
This is some much needed good news. I hate that for every 10 posts of the world going to shit, there’s one that says maybe we’ll be ok
Sweet summer child…
No shade here, but that’s a perfect example of fuck you money
Well fuck man, tbf, in that song Vedder was probably like “imma go for that non English speakers pretending to speak English kinda sound”
Edit: wording
A reply I got from him on a thread below just read like trump wrote it, and then goes on to say that he “literally just said” what I then replied. I’m like mf where??
lol ok. Im sure a bunch of white people got offended on behalf of us.
Someone’s gotta balance the scales
Without getting too deep into it, I think the simplest explanation is that speedy Gonzalez was just funny and entertaining. I don’t think many people at the time stopped to think too much about it being representative of our culture or even a stereotype. Looking back, sure, it is a stereotype, but one that even by then was so outdated that no one thought twice about it perhaps being offensive.
I think a very interesting part of Mexican culture is to learn how to not take ourselves too seriously. I had to learn to deal with being made fun of for the stupidest things. It was always “el que se enoja, pierde (he who gets mad, loses).” So you had to learn how to take it and dish it back. And the idea was to keep it as a battle of wits, without becoming irate and physical. I have to admit, I lost more times than I’d like to own up…
As a Mexican, I don’t take Taco Bell jokes to be offensive. Or even Mexican food jokes to be offensive, for that matter. I mean, i know my people’s food will sometimes make me shit my pants, but fuck it’s delicious. But back to the point, Taco Bell is far from being ethnically offensive, because it is far from being representative of Mexican food.
Unfortunately that’s not a far fetched possibility.
