The idiom originates in the classical Greek of Plutarch's Apophthegmata Laconica, and was introduced into the English language in 1542 in Nicolas Udall's translation of the Apophthegmes.

it certainly does add perspective ... she's ugly to the bone ... the picture shows somebody far softer in appearance and looks almost nothing like Michelle ...

Hey, you're entitled to your opinion.
I think she's pretty. The end.

And don't you think that most portraits are meant to flatter?
Well ok, maybe not Picasso's.
So what, her portrait is softer, prettier.

And what does my aesthetic have to do with my politics?

You guys sure you aren't just a wee bit prejuduce against black people?
If you're sure you're not, my apologies but, that's kinda what I'm hearing round here.

Not the end of the world if you are. As long as you don't act on it, right?

Huck, remember, small minded people often mock and disparage people who are different than they are.

If you have to ask if something is racist, it probably is.

Things that are considered racist weren't necessarily 5 years ago... 😟

All I know is Wookies are awesome. So calling something a Wookie should not be considered racist... because you're indirectly saying that they're awesome.

We all know Chewbacca is Wookie, and if Chewbacca is awesome, and Chewbacca lives on Endor, and is also a Wookie, then it is not racist to call a 4 foot black guy a Wookie... because Wookies are awesome.

I'm entirely certain that 5 years ago, calling a black woman a wookie was considered racist by nearly every reasonable person... if you disagree, you can go ask a group of black people what they think... make sure to report back to us after you get out of the hospital...
