Republican Oklahoma representative Sally Kern, what the fuck?
honestly, if it wasn't for all the minorities contributing to american culture and society, gays, jews, blacks, etc, the country would be a bunch of hicks shooting their guns in time to country music.
it reminds me of this book i picked up while doing some background "acting" for this autism PSA my company is doing. it was about how the jews run hollywood. it talked about the interesting contradiction of the fact that hollywood was founded by these jewish immigrants who desperately wanted to become part of american society, so this image of america that has become so central to our national character, the way we see ourselves in the movies, is actually an idealized image created by outsiders. okay i'm watching ellen's response to that video now, so i'm going to go.

dude, i READ THAT. i did an independent study senior year of college on that shit. know what's interesting? it's the same thing as ralph lauren changing his name and designing the ultimate "american" clothing line, re-defining it from an outsider's perspective.
and by "it" i mean american clothing, american self-image.
