Pussy Generation: “Would you mind not shooting black people so much?”
Clint Eastwood’s generation: “Did I see you using the wrong water fountain, boy?”

Pussy Generation: A push for greater diversity and representation in all walks of life.
Clint’s generation: Internment camps for those of the wrong blood.

It’s still the hands-down easiest way to make your way through life in America, and it isn’t getting any worse. But it’s slightly less shitty today for everyone who isn’t than these so-called Good Old Days everyone keeps talking about.

You would think that would make people happy, but people don’t work that way.
