I hate to break it to folks, but if you're south of Charm City, you're south of the Mason-Dixon. Welcome to the Dirty. Now please start pronouncing your "ar"s as "ur"s. Thanks.

Also, did anyone else notice what a horrible job Mesire Sidarth's friends did giving him a mullet? And here I went and gave myself a mohawk on some macacca solidarity ish...

yes the abcd sluts and pimps have finally found their identity...

What about the male hoochies ? People always forget about us.

I was just joking in my previous post, just in case that needed any clarification.

“Nothing made me happier on election night than finding out the results from Dickenson County, where Allen and I had our encounter. Webb won there”

That’s awesome. I went to school in southwest Virginia before working in northern Virginia, and I was really worried that Allen was judging voters in the area correctly in thinking that the politics of insider vs. outsider would work there.

I totally agree with hairy_d that “there’s been too much emphasis on the ‘macaca’ bit – were it an expletive in the vein of ‘nigger’. which probably explains why it is bandied around with such candor. the macaca bit – the bite doesnt come close to (i presume) the rage of a black man accumulated over generations – …, and i have received racial slurs of all kind and straight armed mock salutes in and around northam – but … what really stings is the idle allusion that somehow i do not belong here, or my knowledge and experiences are secondary to those who ‘look’ like they know more.”

We can all argue back and forth over whether Allen was intentionally making a specific racial slur, but we KNOW that he was trying to point out the one brown guy in the crowd as an outsider, someone who wasn’t a “real” American, someone who didn’t belong in Virginia. That pissed me off much more than the nonsensical “macaca.”

Gotta say, I'm a little bit of a 'south of B-more' snob. That part of MD just feels like a different state altogether.

meenbeen how so?

Amitabh,

Sahej, you are absolutely right about the way America is heading…so make sure you (and your future kids) get the kind of education that will be vital to ensuring a comfortable life in the decades to come (the education by itself will not ensure a comfy life but it will be a necessary precondition). As for preventing the scenario you describe, I’m not sure it can be done, realistically. Lastly, keep your ties to India(and I say this as a 2nd gen)…you never know when you may want/need to move back there one day…the global scene will be pretty different in three decades.

safe from the increasingly-obvious American desi tendency towards unbridled debauched depravity and monomaniacal obsessions with macacas and whatnot.

Check, check & check...cats out of the bag!

Heinous, I tell you, heinous. In the name of everything that is holy about Amitabh Bachchan, thank Big B I am safe on this side of the Atlantic, safe from the increasingly-obvious American desi tendency towards unbridled debauched depravity and monomaniacal obsessions with macacas and whatnot.

I think some of you laydeez just have a thing about knobbly vegetables. There's probably something Freudian about that. Not quite sure what.

Z'bad.
