This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I need a Venn diagram of whiteness to really get this. Or a scale of some sort
There are certain ethnicities that although white, have been marginalized and scapegoated for societies problems in the past. Groups like Italians and Irish people were considered a lower-tier of white people, just above black people, especially in the US in the 18-1900's.
It's why the US has St Patrick's Day and Christopher Columbus Day. They needed to prove their worth to earn "whiteness"
