work did I do before I was born to arrange my DNA so that I could be the person that I was born as? None. Why should I take pride? Why do you take pride in someone else's work? Like I've never understood that. I didn't put any effort into who I am in terms of my genetic makeup. I didn't put any work into that. Even my parents barely did any work. I'm sure they enjoyed it when they made me. But the point is pride is just the wrong word.

I feel like we should understand the world free of pride because what is the fundamental thing that makes white supremacy ridiculous? It's the thing that makes white supremacy ridiculous is that people who are the white supremacists, if they exist by the way, again I've never met one. I do not know even one person who would identify as a white supremacist even if they didn't use the words. I've never met anybody who would make an argument of white supremacy. I just don't even, I've never met that person ever. And you know I would have, right? I mean I hang around with a lot of Republicans and I've just never met even one person who privately would have those opinions. But let's say they exist. It doesn't make any sense to have pride in other people's accomplishments because the whole point of the white supremacist is you know yay white people invented a bunch of stuff but not you. Not you. You didn't invent anything. People who share your pigmentation invented things and you're taking credit for that. Are you taking pride in what other people did? How the hell does that work?

How about working on yourself period? Don't take pride in what strangers did for god sakes. That's the dumbest thing in the world. Anyway enough on that. I'm just saying that we should probably acknowledge that we would be in a better place if we didn't try to take pride in things that we had nothing to do with. Certainly you should not feel guilty or bad for who you are but you also had nothing to do with that. It's not your fault and it's also not something to be proud of. It just is. You just happen to be whatever you are. I just happen to be whatever I am. Can't we be good with that? I mean I can give the full respect to anybody as long as we're playing within the rules of society. That should be enough. Respect should be the thing, not pride.

All right. Ellie Alexander was tweeting yesterday that there are 340,000 Chinese students in the US. Did you know that? 340,000 active Chinese citizens who are students in the United States. Now that's probably a good thing because it transports our culture and you know our capitalist beliefs and stuff probably translates that over to China and it may be in the long run an absent value in keeping us from war and such. But I put out the following suggestion which again might be a bad idea but one I had
