  • My spouse is a nurse who works in a diverse workplace consisting of basically four groups of people:

    • Asian women
    • Jamaican women
    • white women
    • hogs

    She told me once about an extremely awkward interaction when they had a Jamaican patient who was just really dirty. No need to go into details, but this was an exceptionally dirty person with terrible hygiene. One of the white woman nurses asked one of the Jamaican nurses if it was part of their “culture” to just be really dirty. And the Jamaican nurse was just like…what? The white woman had also asked the question like she was just genuinely curious if Jamaicans were naturally dirty, like she was being nice to the Jamaican nurse by taking an interest in her “culture.”

    I just look at the word “culture” as a way for liberals to talk about race without using the word “race.”

    My wife’s manager is also a hog who has gotten in trouble multiple times for telling racist jokes. I overheard him on a zoom meeting, and he basically sounds like that clip of Alex Jones begging the coach to let him back into the game. This guy is now in charge of making sure that the nurses don’t say anything inappropriate in the hospital.
