You mean we're not genetic engineering our forces to shoot out lasers from their eyes?

So, what I’ve learned from Joe and Jill Biden, regarding race and ethnicity in America:

-Indians work in 7-11s
-Black people don’t know how to use the Internet
-Black children are all poor (because “black kids can do just as well in school as rich kids”)
-Black people who don’t support Joe Biden “aim’t” really black
-All Latinos in the US are here illegally (that’s why they resist getting the Covid vaccine, for fear they will be deported)
-Barack Obama is the first African-American who is clean and articulate
-And now, Latinos are like breakfast tacos

That’s what comes to mind for me. Did I miss anything?

I think it's incredibly nice of Jill Biden to go out of her way to show that gracelessness in First Ladies knows no race.

We know Hillary was graceless, as that is her default mode. I don't recall Roselyn Carter being that bad, however. Maybe she was much better about what she said out in public.

I was thinking of Michelle Obama, who set her own standard for gracelessness.

Hmm, who was the most graceless First Lady, Hillary or Michelle... now there's a Clash of the Titans.

I still think they will ultimately end up in a cage match over who will be the First First Lady Ladyparts President.
