Today, I introduced my Chinese-born girlfriend to the rest of the family. My uncle immediately blurted out, "He's dating a communist." FML

She likes cats.. But could never finish a whole one :)

When a man gets his uncle badge he automatically channels a crash course in "blurting out crazy, embarrassing stuff att family gatherings". I know I did. Uncles are supposed to be weird.

Tell him. " I love the way she controls my means of production, if you know what I mean." And you're sorry that you outsourced "jobs" to her, but she works much cheaper than Ohio girls.

You are a racist, specifically an Asian supremacist. Saying positive things about all members of a group is just as racist as saying bad things about them. Often, people who claim that their race is superior are shitty, worthless individuals who are desperately seeking validation because of an accident of birth. Is that what you were trying to say?

49, the ****? I think you went to far.

What Perdix was trying to say (I think) is that generalisations are bad. Saying "All Asians are smart" or "All Blacks are good athletes" may sound nice because it's a compliment, but it's racist nonetheless.

it's like if I said whites are the best. that would be racist, right? yet if I said Asians are the best, it wouldn't be. sadly, that's the ****** up thing about America.

Okay, no one said anything about her not being "nice and friendly". OP's uncle stated that because the girlfriend is Chinese, she's communist. But good story.

This isn't an FML...he's got an Asian girlfriend!

Actually if she left the country that makes her the opposite of communist. It wrecks up the whole system something fierce to have people emigrate out of a communist regime. If you stand by the ideals of the system to any degree that matters, you won't leave.

Tell your uncle the "communist" is such a great capitalist that they make all the crap he buys, and have an economy that is growing while ours is barely chugging along. That ought to blow his mind :)
