Whether it's Asian Indians squatting under their tunics while they relieve themselves in a train station or Mexican illegals outside the Home Depot, third worlders everywhere seem to have a special affinity for the pavement. And no qualms about getting down on it fast.
Take Muslims for example: for them, the ground is more than just a place to get down and relax, it is actually sacred, um, ground.
Look at this picture :
It's from this article in the New York Times. It shows "Libyan rebel leaders" displaying Qaddafi's final possessions: two hand guns (one gold-plated, nice), two rifles, and a satellite phone.
What is of note is that these particular third worlders, even though wildly enabled by the West in technology and other means, betray their inner Stone-Age wiring by their refusal to bust out a folding card table. No sissy western podium for these muzzies, it's down to the ground they go for this news conference, prayer rugs and all.
Please chime in if you've noticed this too about non-Westerners: Blacks and hispanics don't use the kick stand. They just lay it (the stolen bicycle) down on the ground.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about their spiffy brand new clothes? They are better dressed than the American Whites I see gringing around in old jeans and t-shirts. How did the 'rebels' happen to have all those brand new cool war clothes on hand when the 'rebellion' started?
