A cop with tribal tattoos, after pulling up in his car and staring for literally 60 seconds as I examined gravestones from the 1800s in broad daylight:

"How'd you get in there?"
"The gate."
"There's a gate?"
"... Yeah."
"Oh. Ok."

Word for word.

Wait, if he didn't know if there was a gate how'd he get in there?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The wording suggests that the cop was in his car, behind the fence.

"Did anyone notice that the only people who ever win at Olympic sprinting are all... darker than us?"

-A friend of mine, totally not a racist. Yeah...

Well, it is (mostly) true.

In my opinion, that's just an observation, not a racist comment. However, if he had said something along the lines of "The black people need to stop being in the Olimpics, because they're beating us and I suspect that they're cheating," then he would definately be racist. I haven't been around obvious racists, so excuse my lack of experience.

I guess it's not really racist, but it certainly comes close.

[Slayerhero90]

The way that you put the ... before "darker than us" suggest that in real life, he was looking for the least racist way of saying it.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Depending upon where SealyStar lives, "darker than us" could at least be seen as ethnocentric if not racist, since at least in the US the population has a large minority of black people which in a few regions is even the majority population. Europe is a lot more homogenous, but its still kind of ethnocentric to say something like that there.

[Slayerhero90]

We don't know what "us" is, though. Assuming Seally and friend are caucasian or similar brighter color, "us" could mean just them.

most I belive are african from a mountains part, they have genetically bigger lungs or slightly more efficent blood than us short fat whies who could not run to save our life.
They (official types) go after drugs in athletes, what about genetic superority for running strenght etc.  could you claim the extra adrenaline (Epinephrine to USA) or testosterone was natural or unfair advantage.
Popular claiim running abourt here was the chinese girl who beat the swimming by so much was result of chinese communist breeding profgram from the past finaly bearing results. Mind you russians were also at that and they are not blowing away records. Maybe they just did military stuff.

You obviously never saw Rocky IV.

[Slayerhero90]

Last I checked, it's adrenaline here, too.

[SealyStar]

Last I checked, it's adrenaline here, too.

I've heard both. And, yes, my friend and I are both of white European descent.

"This chemical is widely referred to as "adrenaline" outside the United States"
blame the wiki when the Foreigner gets it wrong and the movie.
