too lazy to check but I would guess the edition was published around this time

Really though, you can use the Skittle comparison for ANYTHING.
Pit bulls, cops, sushi, gun owners, etc.
It is classic fear mongering.

That’s what makes this analogy so damn frustrating. It’s so meaningless, yet I can just see a whole bunch of bigoted white folks reading this and nodding their heads like this is some sort of clever revelation.

Because on the surface it’s true to a degree. The problem is people who don’t apply any more thought to it. “Yep, confirms my bias, move on.”
Presenting the meme with an alternate group might make them say, “Hey, that isn’t true!” But then they never take that line of thinking back to the original meme.

Fims I think. But the Wikipedia article should help to solve this.

Nope, wrong: Fips.
I suck at Sütterlin.

From a typographic perspective, I find the Sütterlin numbers to be very aesthetically pleasing. The letters on the other hand are cringe inducing.
I want to punch whomever thought this was a good way to represent a W:

The difference is ambition.
And yet where do you find it used most often?
You could use it, but you don’t. We don’t. They do.
I had to learn Blackletter and Fraktur. Both not too bad. This, on the other hand, I don’t know if I could handle. I just kinda stared at it until coherent words appeared.

As long as we use the Roman alphabet, we’re at risk of ending up with this.
If we switched to an eastern alphabet, we … wouldn’t actually solve the problem
AS LONG AS WE USE MINISCULES, WE’RE AT RISK OF ENDING UP WITH THIS.

Wait, I thought Russian was just written in accented Latin characters…

When I was a kid my friends and I got Skittles every time we went to the movies. We didn’t eat them. We threw them at the bad guys.
That seems strangely appropriate now.

Last time i checked skittles don’t eat each other, so we should all be fine in the same bowl if they just let us be. Problem is these rich fucking hands who want everything for themselves taking huge scoops out of our peaceful skittle bowl society for their own gain. They are worried about how a bad skittle or two affects them, they don’t give a shit about the rest of the skittles, or how many skittles they consume, and would gladly dump out the whole fucking bowl without regard to the 99% of “good skittles” and without any proof of any bad skittles. Monsters.
Fellow skittles, beware the greedy hand, that is the real issue.
