It makes our university look like academics who don't know a thing about what takes place outside of a college campus, but whatevs. Also, can we drop the damn -CH from our official University stuff? It doesn't bother me when Moo does it, but it's annoying when UNC does it. You don't need the -CH. Everyone knows.
I'll make sure to mention that next time I have lunch with Carol.
I don't really care if the CH is used or not, but I don't think it's comparable to the two you mentioned. "The" Ohio State and "The U" are things that are known nationally to fan bases outside of their own. No one outside of UNC's fan base, other than ACC teams, know anything about the CH thing. It's not part of the national brand.
It's not "our thing." It's a byproduct of overlapping and confusing naming of the UNC system versus UNC, the university. Furthermore, it stems from all of the UNC-alphabet schools in the UNC system. That's not common in every state. For instance, in Georgia, schools in the University of Georgia system are Valdosta State, Albany State, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State, etc. It's not UGA-Valdosta, UGA-Kennesaw, etc.
Our "thing" is kicking ass, not having a little "CH" at the end of UNC.
Not sure what's worse. The fact that you took the time to do it or the fact that it's supposed to be UNC-CH, not UNCCH. If you're going to make us look stupid, at least do it correctly.
The fact that this is news makes my brain hurt. Newscasters get to grandstand and say "OMG, how DARE he write sexually explicit or homophobic remarks on his Twitter when he was a teenager."
I think everyone was aware, but apparently it's become a huge problem in the last year or so. I'm just glad that they decided to give a big **** you episode to everyone that was complaining.
I fail to see the problem. He's Indian or Pakistani and runs a gas station. So.... you know, every fuggin gas station in the country.
And they have been making fun of that stereotype that people give him since the introduction of the character. In other words, they have been making fun of you for 30 years. Now all of a sudden it's a problem? And one thing I would like to know. Apu is considered one of the smartest characters on the show and he has a mathematics degree. Why isn't anyone complaining about that stereotype?
Only about certain characters though. It's still ok to portray a white cop as a fat lazy guy who doesn't do anything but eat doughnuts and has the look of a pig. Or the white guy from the country being an inbred, dumb hick. Those things are still funny.
Well ya of course. The white guys didn't make it onto the 2018 protected species list like the Indians did. Better luck next year.
