Okay, perhaps it used to be a common practice.

Google search provides links to sources.

I thought it was a common practice for non-Jewish women to become Jewish in order to marry a Jewish man.

For me, it is about authenticity, so a multicultural cast is usually preferable - I mean, that is our society.

I think everyone should watch (or rewatch) the Beverly Hillbillies. It may offend, but it represents many of their norms .
Many 80s movies could not made today, due to our current norms.

Their goal is a population of 100 million, right?

It is now the most accepted interpretation of the 'United States of America' - it was said to refer to only 'South America' at first, then extended to refer to 'the Americas', and now only only refers to one country.
Of course, there are other possible origins other than the Vespucci one.

Sorry, but I believe you are referring to 'The Americas', which is comprised of 'North America' and 'South America'.

I am not an American, but I am a North American.

America = USA = US = 'the states' (for many Canadians, at least).

Sorry again, but I do like your enthusiasm.

They need to be able to input the file with the keywords - and not much more.

Should I guess you refuse to call them Americans or is it just short form?

I just told you it wasn't blackface, just like White Chicks wasn't 'white face' (for lack of a better term).

Think of it this way, everyone knew about JT dressing up back then and no one complained about it - until many, many years later the far right hate propaganda begun, that is.

14.03.2026 02:20 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I don't recall White Chicks being racist either.

It's a double standard.
Dressing up like someone else isn't racist; blackface was about mocking people, not emulating them for recognition.

Do you hear me, man?

I am not American, and I was concentrating my efforts at the time on the pandemic, so I wasn't aware the police were being aggressive towards protestors prior to the ICE protests.

Sorry for getting the name wrong, and there is something to be said about how it isn't quite a double standard, but then again, should it be?
I mean, wearing makeup to change the colour of your face should never have been a thing, but you cannot blame someone for not anticipating future norms.

It seemed healthy until I read "chicken salad".

JT's legacy is his government's excellent response to Covid and his upstanding behaviour.

I get that some people can't see this isn't much different than the characters from the movie White Girls, which came out 3 years after he dressed up as Aladin.

Maybe you should make fun of those actors now?

The internet could be used for putting forth issues to vote on, and then we can vote on those issues online, with elected representatives enacting the legislation based on those votes.
As a backup, mailed in votes could be required to confirm, which would give (underemployed) mail carriers work.

So the coach is gone at the end of the season?

I can't imagine posting something just to get likes.

I wasn't aware the police gassed BLM (or any other just cause) protestors without a reason.

And the retaliation - that's what this was, right? - will stop.

Sounds like a viable option - lessen the amount of damage he can so before his impeachment.

So long as that was when Thatcher, Reagan, & Mulroney came into power.

He's probably just using it for the calculator.

And just to be certain, he spelled 'centre' the American way not because he is ignorant, but because he is a Republican.

btw, it's all just noise to drown out the big issues

Isn't it all on video though?
