    My wife is Chinese. My house is now impossibly racist.

    That happens every thirty seconds.

    Coming to HGTV this fall: Unfuck This House!

      Damn I did not expect a LRR reference around here! Can’t believe that sketch is ten years old and still good as gold.

    I’m pretty disappointed that the very obvious fact this was written by a Westerner has never occurred to me. The amount of casual racism that survives even when you’re thinking about it is crazy.
