Well this suites me just fine frankly. In America it feels like every couple you see in commercial/advertisements is mixed race, black guy and white women. You would think America is at least 50% black. 

It also causes me cognitive dissonance when they show a white family, but there’s a Black person sitting on the couch among them. Where did he come from? Was he adopted or something? Why??? 😹

Well, you got me there.

 

In university in Austin Texas the arab engineering students were most of the ones who wanted to copy homework and cheat on the exams.

Intellectually I know that not all Arabs are alike but direct personal experience cannot help but color our perspective somewhat. To this day I simply avoid them when I can.

Apart from the fact the ones I worked with were bone lazy, they were also delusional.

 

In the aftermath of the Six Day War, Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank, Old City, and Golan Heights.

 

The guys I was working with were listening to Radio Cairo, and were convinced the Egyptian Army was hammering on the gates of Jerusalem.
