>>23280779i've called myself a mutt longer than 4chan has existed. because i grew up with dogs and it was more acceptable to talk about dog breeds than human breeds in those days. political correctness, it was the style at the time.
the genes of an american mutt tell the story of a special time when a "new world" was discovered, explored, conquered, settled, fought over, etc. the past 5 centuries or so.
it's ok to be new if you don't suck. the american mutt is a new thing for a new world, and all the ingredients were already here in the 19th century.
this meaning is eroding now in the age of globalization, since the middle of the 20th century. recent mass migrations are not contributing anything but sameness with a global diversity quota world
