actually, now i just race bait my dad every time he's around. last time he was up, he was watching me play age of empires 3 and he asked me which side i was playing.
"dutch," i said. "they have easy econ."
he said, "huh. what other races are there?"
i said, "um, russians. and ottomans."
"ottomans?" he said. "what the hey! they didn't colonize the new world."
"maybe in your redneck 'history'," i said. "they pretty much have all the major founders of america, though, including the vikings and the africans." (a lie, of course; the vikings didn't colonize shit!)
"AFRICANS!" he said, horrified.
"yup," i said. "the original american colonists. they're the strongest race in the game. they can chuck spears farther than the rifle ranges on my dutch militia."
"WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING PEOPLE IN SCHOOLS THESE DAYS, THEM [DISTINGUISHED BLACK FELLOWS] ONLY CAME OVER HERE WHEN WE SHIPPED EM HERE"
"lol"
<a long racist rant about "liberal" education ensued culminating in the same non-sequitur story about some black soldiers that tried to shiv him in vietnam>
"dad, you gotta let that go!" i said, as usual
"they just jumped me! you know what they're like," he retorted.
"are you SURE you didn't refer to the NBA as 'FIVE [DISTINGUISHED BLACK FELLOW] JUMP' in front of them like you usually do?" i observed
<semi-long racist rant about the state of the NBA ensued>
ah, good times, good times.
