I know it’s so pointless for all Americans to blame each other for our socialization in this country. We can’t even blame our parents or our great somethings because the funny thing about socialization is that it happens before you are old enough to notice it. Usually by ten or eleven but most definitely by eighteen.

We all think we spent eighteen years under our parent’s “ownership” during the most pivotal formation of our personality and habits. Then we go out at eighteen as “free citizens.” It’s a sham.

We are socialized by our parents who were socialized by theirs. As if that wasn’t bad enough they decided to put little socialization boxes in every American home.

Look at what they taught little Jimmy:

Apparently for Disney, “The Suite Life” involves 3 little blonde Lebensborns, an Asian person thrown in for diversity and the other minorities off to the side.

Now this is a story all about how

You assimilate into a white lifestyle

So you don’t get shot in your Tartan flares

Black people dressed down white people beware
