Stop me before I vomit again
A coworker recently sought to purchase the vacant lot next to his home, but ultimately he was outbid by another buyer. All's fair and all that, right?

Well, here's a more or less exact quote of his description of the process:

"I was beat out by an interracial... Well, not interracial. A Chinese guy and a homo sapien."

:mad::banghead::mad:

For the record, this coworker never pulls the blue lever on election day...

1. 'homo sapien'...?? Does that mean he distinguishes 'Chinese guy'
from all other homo sapiens? Either way, he sounds like piece o' work.

5. That was my sense
Not enough to call Asians another "race;" he has to make them a different species.

Very nice.

3. Used to be a nice neighborhood until all those damn homo sapiens started moving in
Now all us poor Neanderthals are getting crowded out.

9. Doesn't surprise me--you're one of those Thespians, aren't you?
If my coworker is indeed part of the master race, as he seems to think, then I'm embarrassed to belong to the same broad demographic.

11. just when you think they cannot continue to get both more ignorant and offensive
they somehow manage to surprise.

On the other hand, this person is admitting that they themselves are not human.

16. Hmmmm
You know there was recently a study published in the journal science about how maybe Neanderthal DNA exists in our genetic code despite past theories that we are directly decended from Cro-magnum men.
I believe your coworker may be living proof of this
:grr:
(I will not complain about working with two Romney loving fundies again. At least they aren't bigots):(

"Good morning kids, and welcome to Uncle Krispos' Neighborhood. Today's phrase is non sequitur. Can you say non sequitur?"

<chorus>"Nine sequinsses."

"Nice try. Well, we'll work on it.

"'I was beat out by an interracial... Well, not interracial. A Chinese guy and a homo sapien' is a good example of a non sequitur, because all people are homo sapiens. You me, your parents, everybody in this room is a homo sapien! Even President Bush is a homo sapien, he's just a very stupid and mean one."

"Uncle Krispos, is Vice-President Cheney a hovo sappin too?"

"That's a good question, Emma. Vice-President Cheney is not a person because he has no heart and no soul. The answer is no.

"Now, back to the non sequitur, you can see where this person who made the non sequitur was trying to say that one person was not a good as another. But it's kind of confusing, isn't it? Is the person trying to say that the homo sapien is not as good as a Chinese person, or that a Chinese person is not as good as a homo sapien?"

"Uncle Krispos, is a hovo sappin like what my mommy and daddy call 'gay people'?"

"That's a good question as well, Dakota. What your parents call 'gay people' have a proper term of homosexuals, which sounds a little like homo sapien but had an entirely different meaning. Homosexuals are people that when God made them, He made them fall in love with people of the same gender instead of the the other gender.

"I don't think the person was talking about homosexuals, Dakota, but that's a possiblity because the person is a Freeper. Remember what a Freeper is, boys and girls?"

<chorus>"A Freeper is a mean evil person that only cares about money and white men and think God agrees with them."

"Excellent, boys and girls! Now, who wants cookies?"
