The whole racialist/sexist meme has become ludicrous and anti-rational. Clearly, many people don’t have enough to do.
I think the current generations have had it too soft -- no global devastation of World War or a decade-long Great Depression. People in the West are far too wealthy and have far too much free time which allows them time to pursue frivolous garbage. There's a real lack of seriousness afoot throughout the Western world.
I fear that sometime in the future we are going to pay dearly for this ridiculous lack of seriousness and attention to frivolous BS.
