    This makes me so uncomfortable, it's so real and so abusive. You need to imagine living with this, being subjected to this emotional abuse every day, walking on eggshells to try and prevent triggering this every day, building avoidance strategies to try and make this aggression not occur every day.

    It's funny in one video. It's a fucking nightmare for those subjected to it for a chunk of their lives.

      It really is, her impression is so good that my body immediately starts doing a fight or flight response. (Spoiler alert I always choose flight)

          Honestly that sounds like a better description of how it's used, but traditionally it has always been short for white anglo saxon protestant.

            It comes from a time when being German or Catholic made you less white

              German? Thought it was Mediterranean or irish. Like that great gatsby conversation where mr asshole talks about how everything good in the world comes out of northern europe.

                They were certainly viewed more favorably than the Irish, but they weren't whiter than white if that makes sense.

                Until like the mid-20th century, American-ness was specifically tied to being "Anglo" and "Protestant". Pre-WW1, German Americans were definitely seen as a little "off", especially if they were Catholic. Those heathens didn't speak English, they drank (remember late 19th century America, good Protestants didn't drink), celebrated Christmas with too much gusto like a bunch of Roman savages, they worshipped their evil Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin, a demigouge who allowed Socialist rabble-rousers to intimidate him into a welfare state.

    This brings back memories of going to Target with friends and deliberately trying to get people like that riled up without even talking to them or directly interacting with them. They always will evesdrop on your conversations if they think you don't belong, so you can just talk about stuff you think they would disapprove of and get them so pissed off.

    My favorite was to make fun of people who drive fake suvs. And to find a way to mention that I'm gay/bi in passing. If we succeeded, you could hear them angrily storm off from an aisle over. They would always stay an aisle away following us once they locked onto us, thinking they were being sneaky.
