I’m happy to be white, conservative and well educated. Stay in another state that’s more… culturally enriched.

    These are people who, to put it politely, subscribe to Neil Stephenson’s thesis in “In the Beginning was the Command Line” I happen to think Stephenson was dead wrong, and his example of composite culture was a strawman, and I’m not the only person who does. Or, you know, they could just be racist.

        “Culturally enriched” is a common right wing dog whistle even if you didn’t mean it that way
