I love the bee and I'm not offended

It's just not particularly clever by the bee standards

"White employees trained to say "My Privilege" by Chick-Fil-A" was a recent good one

Indians have an absolute choke hold on the liquor stores in my area. They are the shite, but the stereotype isn't inaccurate.



Not going to pretend that there's something wrong with people who own small franchises and try to employ family members there.

It's just that the Indians I know mostly work in tech. The ones that come to the US are mostly smart people. Very team oriented. We are definitely taking some of that country's best, most industrious people.

Why are democrats offended?? Their own president said “you can’t go into a 7-11, or a Dunkin’ doughnuts, without hearing an Indian accent”.

So they can just have a seat.

Healthy societies laugh at racial stereotypes. Sickly, feminized Progressive societies become deeply agitated about racial stereotypes.

Yea like 5 years ago because people said the character was racist.


Hank Azaria also apologized for voicing the character and causing harm to the Indian community.

he seems to be a pretty decent, down to earth guy.

he and walsh went on Rogan back to back (maybe in 2022??) and I honestly thought that Dillon handled himself better than Walsh on defending being pro-life than Walsh did being anti-LGBT, which is surprising because Walsh does a lot more back and forth with people whereas Dillon is mostly behind the scenes.

I think the Bee is funny generally, and this in particular was hilarious.

People complaining about the Bee aren't actually offended by this shite (I mean, just don't read it, right?) they just pretend to be for political or financial - or most pathetic of all, temporary internet cred - advantage. frick 'em.

Trump went on to say that he'll work closely with Ramaswamy every day when he takes office, stopping by the official 7-Eleven store located in the halls of the West Wing several times a day for a Diet Coke and "one of those delicious warmed-up cheeseburgers under the hot light thingies."


I just spit coffee.

“Indians working at 7/11 is only a funny, non-racist joke when Joe Biden does it.”
