cafe press wins again

I don’t care if Obama got elected or not — we do not live in a post-racial society.  People are mean, especially Russians.  But you know what is worse than racism?  Ignorance.  I’m not talking about the kind of ignorance that fuels most racism.  I’m talking about people not even being able to name one famous person from my motherland (aside from Drew, who was deflowered by a Grecian and holds a special place for them in his heart).  This, and so much more, is why I, as a half-Greek American, have it worse than everyone else and will be demanding reparations to my people from the Obama Administration along with a national holiday devoted to filo dough.
