        I hate to go all “ackchyually” on you, but vinegar is a 5-8% solution of acetic acid. Anyone not saying “a 5-8% solution of acetic acid” is committing a microagression. Pure acetic acid is referred to as “glacial” acetic acid, which is clearly cultural appropriation by northern Europeans.

      Since she says “cheesy chips” instead of the n-word I’m guessing she has another phrase for it. Maybe “Denied”?

      Doesn’t need to say “no” to decline.

      “Wanna fuck?”

      “I don’t. Fuck off.”

      I don’t know if it was a joke but I remember seeing a black American lady having a moment when they heard that Montenegro is in Eurovision. Chuckled at that

      And apparently has nothing to do with the word “nigger”. I think the word was used in my translation of The Twelve Caesars and I had to look it up. Turns out there’s a whole Wikipedia article on it

      It was going that way, but the anti-racism movement changed the course.
