ITT, we shallowly objectify other people by discussing their appearance.

I've had a ball doing Spot the Minority during the two GOP debates. The fun is kind of tempered by the fact that the organizers always seat him immediately behind the moderator so it's more of a twitch/buzzer game than a Where's Waldo thing.

And also, just to keep the thread on-topic, could you shallowly objectify the minority you spotted by commenting on their appearance?

No, he's the talent. Besides, he's rarely on-screen anyway.

Their economic prosperity excludes them from minority status. We're clearly only talking about the  poor minorities, duh.

The fact that you both think there is only one category of Asians is why I am the master of this game…

At tech conferences, I like to to play the gender game with my fiancee, just to get her fired up.  And then she fires back with the gamer vs non-gamer profiling of men at the conference.
Do you guys remember how Atomic used to brag about what a looker and ladies man he was? About how hot women half his age would throw themselves at him?

And then he posted his picture here and he looked like the psycho 50 year old version of what Kurt Cobain would have looked like had he lived? That was funny.

I do remember that. I also remember he had taken down the photo and 86ed the hosting account within 30 minutes. I swore that day, never again would someone post a photo of "themselves" without me downloading it immediately for a thorough online fisking.

But yeah, he was a creepy looking Scandinavian weirdo. Kinda guy who gets arrested for child porn and for a half beat you're shocked and then you go, "yeah, you know what? I could see that."

But in the Bay Area it's heavy on the Indian/Pakistani at the tech conferences

That's why I say things like "Holy shit, there's a Cambodian/Laos/Vietnamese over there. You don't see that everyday…."

Not any more after seeing the photo, but yesterday, when your wife said the new nanny was perfect, I was stoked for you!
