5. I Had The Same Reaction

When I saw these “shareholders” (read: Racist-assed Reichwingers) had Asians in their list of groups who would be discriminated against. Probably did that so they wouldn’t look racist. My response to them is, “That’s like calling a shit sandwich a choco-taco. The reality is, you’re still serving a piece of shit. Throwing Asians in there doesn’t mean you’re not racist assholes.”
