Indian+Chinese=URM? ...or ORM?

Does this race combo mean anything? Do I write a DS on this? Why was I made this way? Someone, please tell me.

Glad to oblige. Well see, one of your parents was Chinese and the other Indian. So they met through whatever means and figured they liked each other. Days went by, and so on and so forth, but that is irrelevant. You were made through sex. There are other forms of baby-making and it doesn't always have to occur on account of Marvin Gaye's "Let's get it on". There's immaculate conception, but that is still disputed by some incorrigible atheists - men and women of ill-repute whose greatest achievement is simultaneously pissing off Protestants and Catholics, but that is irrelevant. In fact, Marvin Gaye's name was originally "Gay" but he was unhappy about this and threw in the closest vowel he could think of, much to the chagrin of progressives worldwide who dwell in dark alleys and coffee shops selling over-priced merchandise accrued on the backs on oppressed farm laborers in Kenya, they call them the proletariat to obfuscate their suffering, kinda like how not being able to get it up is referred to as "erectile dysfunction" or when pulling the shit out is called "coitus interruptus" (this is relevant to your interests), the nerve of these rascals!

They admire garbage art because they feel guilty about the fact that people with useless degrees cannot make money...nevermind. Anyways, they often listen to obscure bands and call them "underground" which is is a euphemism for crappy music that the majority of the population actively hate. They universally hate Nickelback. I like Nickelback myself but don't tell anybody. They frequently misquote Kafka and Descartes, and throw in abridged versions of Thoreau and Rousseau etc, but that is irrelevant.

You know what I really hate? Twitter. I hate Twitter, I actively hate it. Mostly because people who tweet won't shut up about it. "Tweet", what kinda stupid term is that? Huh? Anyways, so what are you going to do about your predicament? Ddid you know I have a problem deciding where to put paragraphs?

are you saying that it wouldn't help me? or that there is the potential chance that it may help me?

if you make a DS that is good, it could help you. there's no reason it definitely would though.

It was funny until there, then everything after it killed whatever humor the initial joke had. :|
