    I think you need to be a member of an infantilized, er, oppressed group to take offense to that sort of thing. Just be glad you’re not an infant and move on.

    Education is extremely important.

        The white guy who plays Apu does a bang up job.

        The Indian accent is kinda hard because Indians put the emphasis on a different syllable than Westerners. Not easy for a white guy to pull off.

                        How much DNA do I need to have to be whatever I am personifying? Where do I get certified as such? Can I play more than 1 religious, race or whatever card. If I identify as a gender can I play that gender, and if so what does that transfer to other areas?

                          So, people who, for a living, pretend to be other people, aren't allowed to pretend to be other people.

                          Did I get that right?

                            Well you could pretend to be a German piano or an American car or an effective medication or a healer but no in the Constitution apparently there are protected classes. Read up.

                                Yup, so my question was is that okay if you play that card?

                                  I thought I answered yes to that question already. You can play that card.
