STOP MAKING EVERYTHING WHITE MARBLE FLOORS. They’re slippery as fuck in the best of times, but they turn deadly when wet. They chip and expand and are hard on people’s feet. All for an aesthetic that’s douche ugly anyway.

“White people” are not a group stop it with this nonsense. 7th generation Americans from the Midwest say this because they’re a monoculture. An Albanian from the Bronx has more in common with a Puerto Rican from Harlem than they do with someone from an all-white football town in Ohio.

Grow up and stop projecting.

I have a theory that a lot of white progressives grow up in super white, essentially segregated suburbs. They grow up in a bubble, are probably a bit racist themselves (nothing super vitriolic, I’ve just noticed they all seem to be terrified of areas like the Bronx or non-trendy BK that are predominantly POC). They then move to big, naturally diverse cities to “educate people” who were already coexisting in relative peace with one another, many being first and second generation Americans themselves. They fail to realize that it is in fact them, their parents, grandparents, etc back in Wisconsin who perpetuated racism and segregation. It’s like they can’t accept the fact that they were raised in de facto segregation, so they have to project their experience on everyone else.

And when they can’t afford to live in an all-white neighborhood in NYC in their mid thirties, they move back to Wisconsin. Can’t make this shit up.

I mean I getcha but I doubt you’re having this energy with people hitting e-cigs on the train. Don’t try to say it’s vapor either lol. Unless you’re complaining about every young person ripping E-Cigs on the train, you shouldn’t be complaining about this. Vapor literally irritates my throat more then weed also
