    His life has already been combed through, one time he borrowed a table in college to use in a different room. He was a rapper and had a mustache for a while

    What they actually mean is that, for years to come, they’re going to ask him if he’s extra sure he’s not a terrorist in every single conversation

            Like every other culture uses familial terms for an extra layer of casual address, white people are the only ones that don’t

              I do. I know a ton of white people who do. My family does. This is true across family/friends ib multiple states. My kid calls our close adult friends uncle/aunt/gramma.

              I guess some don’t. I’m sure that’s also true of some non-white people.

                Sure, because that’s the norm for humans

                I’m sure you could find specific subcultures elsewhere that don’t do this, but it’s the default everywhere else. It’s not just close family friends or people you grew up with, any friend from a generation up is Uncle or Aunty

                I’m sure there’s a reason for it, and it’s probably a very interesting one
