see the best part is, my comment (which is reverse racist) presumes your kids are unknowingly spitting out a racist idea, whereas your comment on my comment is a reverse reverse critque of the reverse racist comment, you all follow?
in the mean time, Deep Throat reveals his identity, and wahdoyaknown, it WASN'T ALL YOUR MOMSIS AFTER ALL!!!

I thought Gagliano WAS gone??? I guess I'm wrong.
also:
"just because someone's not White they automatically gotta be some poor ass fool that scrounged and saved to sneak into this [country]?"
What the fuck are you talking about? Who said anything about poor-ass illegal immigrants? Man, the kids I talked to didn't think anything close to what you're implying. Give them some credibility. In fact, I'm offended that you think that just because they're stupid white high-school kids (which they are) that you automatically think that that's what THEY'RE thinking. Man, that's not cool; that's actually racist.
Anyway, I gotta haul jet boys. I'll read the rest of this shit later.

the lesson to be learned is not to fuck up and act duplicitous
This is the lesson for the individual that I'm trying to point out is being made.
to the point where it damages your ethnicity?
This is the first glance concern concerning ethnicity, the validity of which, in combination with the first lesson, is questioned by Par.
I agree with you tho, eric. Par knows all that already and there ought to be something set up against a future Grewal messup.

Actually, they did can Gagliano. First they fired him from public works minister and sent him to ambassador to Denmark. Then they fired him from that.
And that's honest mushroom eating, fireball throwing, smooth-talking Italians.

...i don't get it Percy.
the lesson to be learned is not to fuck up and act duplicitous, to the point where it damages your ethnicity? that's the lesson to learn? fuck, asides from not getting into professional basketball, i think Paras learned not to embarass his ethnic community long ago.
i think the more important lesson would be not to let dipshits like Grewal fuckup in the first place.
.... what what? ..the term DIPSHIT suddenly can't be applied to just ANYONE? fuck y'all!

in defense of the Sopranos, that show consistently raises questions of the media's portrayl of Italians and ethnic minorities (particularly through Milfy's EX husband) I think that's one of the few shows on television that actually addresses the issue in a meaningful discourse unlike what say the Simpsons does by giving airtime to its ridiculously stereotypical characters.
With respect to Alfonso Gagliano, i dunno man. he's pretty much just a fuckup, i mean honestly, how much disgraceful shit has that guy been caught up in? the fact that the Liberals haven't canned his ass long ago makes me mildly suspicious that they aren't just keeping him around to perpetuate those ethnic stereotypes, and tarnish the names of honest mushroom eating, fireball throwing Italians.
as for that HighSchool insight about ethnic minorities taking things for granted- yo like what tha fuck? so lemme get this straight, the assumption goes that just because someone's not White they automatically gotta be some poor ass fool that scrounged and saved to sneak into this wonderfully unpopulated Canadian wilderness? that their immense gratitude would be paid back to this country through ...ENTERING POLITICS?!? Correct me if i'm wrong, but as far as all our brown friends go all the smart (ass) ones know better than to go into politics and instead focus their attention on getting into MED school, while realdeal greasy muthafuckas (*ahem Rahim Jaffer) slick talk their way through Poli Sci, and in the process normally slide on into Law School?
Am i right? am i right or am i right bitches?

Supposing for a momment I grant that most Canadians (or Albertans, for that matter) can associate the "Grewal", "Dosanjh", and "Punjabi" with India without some sort of prompting, is the potential tarnishing of the image of the East Indian community because of this incident a valid concern?
Here you ask of the potential of the Grewal matter to tarnish the image of the East Indian Community, and whether or not it's a valid concern. What I'm getting at is how the real point of this concern is the lesson that I believe your father is telling to you, which is to learn from this, don't repeat history, and don't bring dishonor to your community. Thus a normative standard is placed upon you specifically (and to the community in general), instructing you to operate in a way to avoid another event such as Grewal. Whether or not this lesson is based on valid concerns is covered by Jess I think.
