Kind of the opposite. I'm an immigrant in a white country, but I'm also quite white. The amount of times someone has started a conversation about how immigrants are all terrible and lazy and should be deported back to their countries, assuming I will just agree with them, is insane. The few times I have told them I am an immigrant myself I get the "you know the ones I mean" argument and it makes it so much worse.

Except that men's pants don't fit at all. Women have curves and men are more... Straight? Plus the crotch area is weird and will rub weirdly if you use men's pants.

Unless they're a minority, in which case they become "youth" as soon as they're born and are treated like adults as soon as they can talk.

Only one person can play it at a time with steam family sharing.

Embroidery. Cheap and doesn't take up much space, easy to pick up and drop as needed. And you get to stab something multiple times while also being creative and thinking about the best technique, etc.

Being a child of immigrants, neither I nor my parents were aware that there were connotations to my super awesome purple shirt with a giant glittery "69" written on the front. It was so cheap, and way better quality than any of the other clothes we could afford. I wore it proudly at least once a week from grades 3 to 6. I visited multiple friends' houses and parents wearing it because it was my best shirt. No one said anything about it.

I've definitely noticed paper straws come in different qualities, and are affected differently depending on what you're drinking. But the ones that turn mushy were largely phased out of use because I'm sure a lot of people complained. I haven't had a mushy straw in years.

I like the bit about how her family and family friends agreed this was a good move when they heard about it. The article makes it sound like everyone was shocked but overall accepting. It's such an optimistic tone, like it's saying "look what science can do now! Isn't it wonderful?" And it is.

I find it so interesting that the distribution is roughly equal for each category. Roughly a third identify as male, female, and NB.
