Did you know children are kidnapped in a federally funded foster care program in South Dakota?
And did you know the vast majority of these children are native american?
A good friend of mine linked me to this article today. It's an NPR article written by Laura Sullivan and Amy Walters about perhaps the most fucked up thing I've heard about in years.
I don't even want to sit and comment on the article. Go read it right now, and you will be disgusted. And the worst part is, I'm even more disgusted at the rest of the country for the things they get offended by now. An ESPN article on the New York Knicks is under attack by the Asian population in this country for the headline "Chink in the Armor," feeling it was a derogatory comment toward Jeremy Lin as it was the first loss the team has had under his miraculous unexpected bursting on to the scene.
I mean grow up, people. Oh noes, they used the word chink and this star happens to be of oriental heritage! Clearly this is racial insensitivity and not someone using an extremely common figure of speech referring to weaknesses not visible to the naked eye!
Man this makes me upset. I'm going to go bash my head into my keyboard as I play Dota 2 the rest of the day now.
