Everytime I see someone with that as a bumper sticker, I want to add one that says "Except from Vietnamese rice farmers."
minus-squareTankiedesantski [he/him]hexbear9·3 years ago “Except from Vietnamese rice farmers.” Not to go off at you specifically comrade, but I find it sus how often people feel compelled to draw a connection between rice and Asian people. Like I have never seen someone dunking on the Nazis for getting owned by "Russian potato farmers" or the British for losing to "Afghan wheat farmers". I know in this context it's not meant to be offensive, but just a fucking weird tendency. link
