I don’t understand what’s racist about the joke. She remarked that mosquitoes from Africa would be getting home food by biting people from Africa. She didn’t say there was anything wrong with Africa or being an immigrant. She didn’t say she wanted African immigrants to get the disease. All the woman did was joke that the mosquitoes and immigrants are from the same continent. By that logic, isn’t everyone who’s mentioned Papachristou is Greek being racist?

So I’m having lunch at a Chinese restaurant today with my mom and daughter and the owner’s daughter asked why my daughter doesn’t live with me. I replied, “Because she’s mean.” Without missing a beat, the girl grins and says, “I think you’re mean.” Where does this reputation come from? I am an angel from heaven. I bring nothing but light and joy into the lives of everyone I meet. And I’ll bludgeon to death anyone who disagrees with me on that.
