To break all walls...
Can we ever hope to seek asylum from the bounds of fate and family?

Rebuilding the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina

Shortly after Barack Obama gave his speech on race, I encountered some major asshat behavior from white people on the internets and in real life. I created a term for this behavior: White Asshat Disorder, otherwise known as WAD. ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) chitinous provided a description worthy of the DSM:
WAD (White Asshat Disorder): "Primary symptoms include but are not limited to: colorblindness, positive stereotyping, calling all wo/men of a particular racial/ethnic background 'so hot,' divide-and-conquer mentality toward social categories and subsequent deprioritization of race, repeated inquiries about where someone is 'really from,' passing judgments on whether someone does or does not look and/or act like their stated race/ethnicity, assorted head-in-sand disorders [see subsections on ignoring non-whites in life-or-death situations and 'the past is past, get over it'], exclamations that 'mixed babies are the cutest,' purse-clutching, assumptions about a speaker's native language(s), assumptions about class, piling on non-whites when they make a mistake, calling all members of a particular racial/ethnic background 'exclusionary,' making irrelevant references to someone's race/ethnicity, caricaturizing of non-whites, unsolicited hair touching. Disorder, if left unchecked, may lead to death by shin-kicking."
Moral of the story: Don't come blowing your WAD all over my LJ, mmmkay?
