I've never understood why Americans want to come over and tell us it's "racist" to dress up as a character that happens to look too much like an African in their eyes

And now we have a whole industry of people flying around the world to get wasted every day (🇬🇧)
I don't know how common it is, but when I grew up, being smart was basically an insult. Not being posh, but any sign of smartness. I was already a quiet kid, which made me a target (because quiet people are smart? My grades surely disagreed), using "difficult" vocabulary is definitely something you had to avoid; kids better not find out you have "smart" interests like computers or reading or something or you'd be ridiculed.
Maybe people carry their hate with them in adulthood but just don't show it so much (until it's time to vote 🙂)
I go almost every day. It's a good reason to get out and go for a walk.
What I buy mostly depends on prices/discounts. And only what I can carry in my backpack. Potatoes when affordable, otherwise rice; frozen veggies, ham/cheese, bubbly water, beer.
