This is flat out dementia shit. Someones personality can just turn vile out of nowhere.
That or this guy has been a closet racist for a long while.
Either way, fuck this guy.
Dementia doesn't make non-racists go on racist tirades.
Either way?
Like fuck him for sure if he’s just been a racist pos this whole time, but if it was actually dementia or some other illness well I’d pity him more than anything.
Dementia or not the dude is a hateful racist. Throw him in the salt mines and forget about him.
We'll be sure to toss you down there when your mind starts going as well.
Ok I’ll be sure to keep my racist thoughts to myself then
Doesn't matter to me, the second your mind starts slipping and you say an intrusive though, into the mines you go!
I looooooove halal carts. I was in New York for a week. Didn’t take me long to find my favorite one in the area I was staying.
