Perhaps you can sell that shit in the patch, but not in NYC. And what does being white have to do with happiness? What, non whites can't have money and be happy? live long and prosper? Be accurate in your digs. i meant to say that yesterday but you've used that fucking line for 5 years. I'm white and wealthy woo hoo. I mean, hello--and no one takes you to task for that. elitist fuck. and you ain't making bank.

Because I am helpful, I will point out that I do not think you understood (among other things) what gwnc meant when she said she is white. I have not checked with her, but I am pretty sure she did not mean to suggest that it is not possible for non-whites to be wealthy and happy. In fact, I think it is safe to say that there is no plausible reading of her post from which one could draw that conclusion. I think, instead, she was merely acknowledging that she has it pretty easy compared to the vast majority of people in this country in that her income puts her near the top (as Wonk pointed out -- we all know that there are lots of people who are a lot wealthier, but still, being in the top 3% does not give one a lot to complain about), and her whiteness means that she does not have to face either subtle or overt discrimination that many others in this country have to encounter on a daily basis. But maybe I am wrong. Maybe you are right and she meant to say that she is a rich white and you are a poor asian and that makes her better. Than you.
