LISA (my sister): So I have to say – living in Montreal, you really get an idea of how racist people are.
ME: How so?
LISA: Well, you watch the CBC in English, and it’s all “Members of the whatever community continued to express concern about whatever.” Then you switch to the French CBC, and it’s all “Minorities kept complaining about things.”
JEFF (my brother): Plus the French CBC? Much, much whiter than the English CBC.
ME: Maybe they can’t get French-speaking visual minorities.
JEFF: Yeah, because all those African refugees can’t speak French. It’s racist. They should be raceful.
ME: What the hell is that?
JEFF: Raceful. Like, racist is bad. Raceful is good.
LISA: Meaning?
JEFF: Instead of saying bad things about minorities, you say good things.
ME: Is that even a thing?
JEFF: It is now. I just invented it.
ME: I thought it was already called “liberal guilt.”
JEFF: You have to admit, it’s not nearly so catchy as “raceful.” Come on. Work with me on this. We’ll make this a thing.

I thought it was called “white guilt.”
OH SO NOW ONLY WHITE PEOPLE CAN BE LIBERALS?
So THAT’s how it is
I’ll make sure to pass this on to all my white friends.
Conservatives generally don’t feel guilty about it, or else, they do but thus would rather put it out of mind.
Quebec society is kind of an interesting case in that it’s super-liberal in all things save for attitudes towards immigration and culture (or, more specifically, other cultures).
Needed more Flapjacks.
@Sage
I heartily concur.
First feminism, now racism… MGK is itching for a riot. Especially since the French are now involved.
Wait… did I just add nationalism into this equation? Well fuck.
I like the ideal of Raceful. I think it should be a thing. Its like Graceful, only more socially aware.
Huh.
You know, now I don’t feel so bad about all that Quebecoi hatin’ I built up living in Vermont.
Well you know, Quebec is just a little neurotic because we’re all secretly convinced that the rest of North America is waiting for a moment of weakness to pounce and take away our french.
And Eris, fuck you too.
Oh, to be the star atop the Bird family Christmas tree. I’m sure you’d overhear all sorts of crazy things.
I am sexful.
Yeah, since Toronto has such a great history of racial harmony compared to Montreal…
Well, to be fair, non-white liberals don’t seem to have the guilt that white liberals do.
Though I am in favor of the raceful usage. I dig it.
your brother is brilliant
i’m using it, and giving you guys credit
@Sage Freehaven

You’d have MGK expose his SISTER to Flapjacks? Man, I love the crazy that is Flapjacks but I wouldn’t let him within a 100 miles of either of my sisters…
@Lurker

Not even by phone, or is that too sexful?
