She’s got 3 gold medals. I think she’s won the most gold medals as a pairs skater.

I have never understood how that's racist. Well, until Rachel Jeantel took the stand.
But all human races have members who look simian (or worse--Jim Carville comes to mind). So frikken what?
The way--THE ONLY WAY--to stop teasing is to develop a thick skin and laugh it off.

A human being, I suppose, could be labeled with the epithet “racist,” but photographs can’t be racist.

We still have a little bit of freedom of speech in this country. Some people love to dig up what they think is dirt on other people...what a pathetic life they must lead..
To: petitfour
Russians have their culture. Aren’t we supposed to celebrate diversity? Diversity's only celebrated when it falls within 'the acceptable' as defined by liberal elites.
