terriko : Did you see this? It's just... wow. Link to article
miko : Shit, I guess we're miserable!
terriko: and shouldn't exist.
miko: But because we do, our lives must be awkward and terrible and not worth living.
miko: Oh well, at least they got press and will be able to get him out of office.

Seriously, WTH? As someone who is (a) biracial and (b) an actual person, I'm more than a little appalled.

Rabid psychos and brain-dead bigots I get. I don't like them, but they don't really surprise me. Calm, considered and sober discrimination doesn't make sense to me.
