That’s obvious to me, plus they’re all natural bullies. A bully is a person who can harass someone else without fear of any consequences. We usually think of bullies in a physical sense, i.e., the big kid who knows that the little kid can’t hurt him in response, but the new bullying is widespread acceptance of the notion that anyone can be offended by whatever remotely touches on gender, ethnicity, culture, or virtually anything else concerning the individual. And of course the Internet makes it possible to bully without risk of being punched in the nose.

Sidenote. I was the skinny timid kid in high school, the school bully would harass me every day in woodshop. My cousin came to live at our home, a year younger, twice my size, a farm boy (ie, well worked muscles). He became a tackle on our HS football team (that took the state championship). Seems the bully and my cousin did a "one on one" drill for linemen. The bully got his hind-end handed to him, spent most of the time breathing mud, never bothered me again.

Actually wooden shoes can be seen in Germany also in the East Friesian areas of the North. Ground is so soft, peat and marsh that they actually serve a purpose like a boat displacing water

Now, you see: Historical ignorance and cultural insensitivity. Go sit away from everyone else in the diversity corner.

It’s believed that wooden shoes were once common throughout Europe. The word sabotage comes from the French sabot (“shoe”) and reportedly referred to disrupting a mechanical action by tossing a wooden shoe into the works. A pair of plastic Crocs wouldn’t have the same effect.

Other than my kids, she is the cutest kid EVER!

My wife's parents both came over from China, so she is just about as Chinese-American as you can get. Neither she nor her mom give two shits about this girl wearing that dress.

Now, I have seen some people saying, "Oh, it was the hand gesture in the one picture that was really the problem!" Not sure why though. Is there a stereotype that Chinese ladies do the praying-hands thing? Or was it the odd gangsta'-style hand gesture the guys were making that was supposed to be mean to asians? Usually I can at least get some idea what folks have decided to be mad about, but I still haven't figured this one out.

Would me wearing my Karate Gi be cultural appropriation?

Help me out here, please. I admit I am behind the curve on this. Does "unitard" mean a university educated retard or someone so exceptionally stupid that they stand alone?

Nope, nothing of the sort. It's the one piece clothing of the future.

Neither. It's a piece of clothing. Think Star Trek uniform. A stretchy, form-fitting, one-piece garment that you can generally fit onto anyone. Or put another way, it's like a Gymanstics leotard with full legs and arms.

Also, for the love of god, don't Google image search unitard. 90% of the results will be fine, but that other 10%...well, you will need the eye-bleach.
