I think you are projecting. It doesn’t matter a hill of beans to me. Never has never will. Although I might be projecting also, growing up a diplo-brat and often being the only white bread around.

Whiskey is a favored target because he speaks outrageous things. Outrageous things aren’t necessarily incorrect. Do you wince at these “unspeakables” because you contend they are not true, or because you’ve been conditioned over the years to shun them?

Reverse discrimination is quite real. In the military, in the government, in the job place. It’s real because it works and it pays out and is just as much a part of the human condition as respiration.
