      It probably happened before you even saw the meme.

      Fox News is gonna run a piece on how we must eliminate Arabic numerals from American society. Your family will be talking about this travesty at Thanksgiving.

          subtraction rule only allows a smaller numeral to be placed before a larger one if it is one of the following combinations: IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, or CM. The numeral ‘i’ ((1)) can only be placed before a ‘V’ ((5)) or an ‘X’ ((10)).

            Home made babaganoush is also amazing.

            Slice a large eggplant in half, place face down in a glass baking pan. Add a few tablespoons oil, shake salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder lightly on top. Cover with lid and bake at 375° for an hour. Till skin is shriveled and darker. You can also uncover near the end and roast it more if you like.

            Let it cool. Take each half and scrape the loose insides into a food processor, it should just all slide off the skin. Add a few cloves of garlic, some lemon juice (maybe 3 tableapoons or adjust to your tastes), then toast a layer of sesame seeds in a smaller pan 6 or 9 inch sized with a bit of oil. Stir them often because they will burn if the heat gets to them too long. Add to the food processor and blend till garlic and seeds are chopped fine. Salt and pepper to taste.

        I legit never heard the word sinophobia and I thought it was a trigonometry joke.

        I guess we need a joke that combines math and racism then.

        It’s the 0th cause of Indophobia?
