      Well, I guess maybe black people should bring more to the table, if [insert racist stereotype] is all white people think around them.

      Well, I guess maybe gay people should bring more to the table, if [insert homophobia] is all straight people think around them.

      Well, I guess maybe Australians should bring more to the table, if spending your entire life living upside down kangaroos is all the rest of the world thinks of you.

        Sometimes it really is like that. I’ll go weeks where I don’t see it, and then it’ll rear its ugly head for what feels like several days in a row, with little resistance. It sucks :(

        Today?? This is an issue, especially on the meme communities here.

        And that’s the irony of the meme, isn’t it? I am guessing it was done by a man.

          it’s not that it doesn’t exist ordinarily, it just seems way more out in the open today.

          or maybe I just happened to have seen it all back-to-back

            Ah, yeah, sorry. Didn’t mean to come off as nitpicking.

            I think I just need to be more choosy with the meme communities I’m reading.
