The “N” Word

The “N” word might seem like a touchy subject to some people, and it should be.  Because I mean the fact that people can say “The “N” Word” and get away with not saying nigger makes no sense.  What is the difference between referencing to a word and actually saying the word.  Like if you had a kid and the kid said “F you dad!!!”.  Would you be less angry than if the kid actually said “Fuck you dad!!!”?  I think saying, “The “N” Word” is a cop out and so does everyone’s favorite comedian, Louis C.K.

Honestly, racism is such a cliche subject, you should just be honest about your racism.  I’m a Mexican American and I’m saying from experience, if you’re my real friend, you can be openly racist.  I have more respect for people who admit that they believe in stereotypes (Rudy Tyburczy).  I live abroad, in South Korea, and I promise you all that stereotypes are our best source of information for other cultures and countries.

I, for one, admit to the world that I’m a racist, but I’m an equal opportunity racist.  I hate everyone and all ethnicities equally because I grew up in a multi-cultural environment (Chicagoland, NWI) and was lucky enough to see at a young age that everyone sucks, stereotypically.

Is being white better?

I was performing stand-up the other night when someone told me that I’m “between white and black”.  Being Mexican, I totally disagreed.  Because, if it comes down to it, I’m not between black and white.   I’m not close to either of them.  It’s apples to oranges.

Actually, I feel like brown is the preferred color.  White people tan, and black people make fun of each other for being too dark.  I think I’m on the good end of the color spectrum,whichever end that is to you.

But is being white better?  I don’t know, I guess so.  It definitely has its privileges.

But if the shit goes down and there’s ever a race war.  I’m glad to be brown so I can choose a side.  Of course I’m gonna choose whichever side is winning. Yeah, that’s my opportunist Mexican side talking.

Prediction:  Mexicans win based on sheer numbers and the ability to procreate when supplies are low.
