On Facebook Quizzes

Dear Facebook Users,

I have a big issue with facebook people and the recent surge in people who feel the need to take a billion quizzes and post their results all over my newsfeed. From "What ethnicity should you date?" to "What date will you get married?" - this nonsense is out of control!


And do we have to mention how racist these things are???
I mean seriously Facebook, since when do we complement Asian people by telling them "Chicken Chow Yummy, I just love your tiny eyes"?!?!

And since when if you like BBQ chicken and being with your family does it mean you should be with a Black person?!?!?

But it's ok, I'm only slightly offended because I know that chicken, watermelon, and lots of family outside on the lawn is THA JUMPOFF! And almost 98% of Black people will admit that stereotype is true.

Still... it's the principle of the matter. Facebook quiz makers, it's the 21st century and this racism has got to go, even if it's "just for fun". There's always truth in jest.

Also, I don't know why people think it's chic to post a quiz that tell's the world what your sex style is.... here's what I have to say about that: keep that result to yourself! (*And I'm just a lil' bit confused as to why you need a quiz to tell you about your own sex??? Aren't you supposed to be there when you're doing it?) I almost think it should be considered some kind of harassment when certain people post their result and then my eyes carelessly glance over the result and then my mind creates a visualization of what that person looks like doin' tha do! That's not fair to me, nasty!


Please check your quiz usage & if you have taken more than three in the past 24 hours - do all of your facebook friends a favor: step away from the computer and SIT DOWN! Go read a book because, NO, we do not want to know what animal you were in a past life.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

Triflin' Police
