I was being ironic and I'm not about to try to explain that phenomenon to you again.

Oh go on. Please. You know how I love it when you act condescending towards me. It makes my day.

I love racism. It's made a great game called try not to get shot by the cops. When hanging out with my black friends, I always win!

The J-cops can keep you for 520 days, and they don't have to tell anyone. You just vanish one day.

Oh, you don't have your foreign residence card on you when the cop asks for it? They can haul you away and not tell your family or employer where you are for 520 days.

This is what I'm talking about. That shit would never happen in the States, this place you guys keep saying is super racist. It's not. It's mildly racist.
You win here's a high five and a cookie for being the world's biggest victim of racism.

Don't be so humble. You experience gratuitous levels of racism on the daily and still manage. Good job!

Not everyone can just pray the racism away.
