Meanwhile, a bunch of Latino immigrants are actually getting sh#t done, training and riding the horses, running the event. It’s sadly comical.

Is there a better allegory for the degenerate navel gazing of the American elite? I’m watching this on TV and just gobsmacked by how they interview wealthy housewives about their dumb hats while ignoring everyone who makes it happen.

I suggest you leave, then, if so unpalatable to you.

Aren’t you going to call me a “commie” too?

I suggest you have someone double check your work. Americans are bad with geography.

You’re literally an imbecile.

You cemented that Americans are bad with geography.

Why? It’s self evident.

Sorry, maybe I meant geometry. I went to a public high school and can only count to twelve--The number of fingers on my inbred hands.

You know what’s great about the Derby? As an American, I have the freedom to watch it or not - to place a bet or not - to care or not.

The American horse racing industry is actually propped up by Saudi money, no joke. I guess that is indeed the American way.

The United States is the most racist country on the planet.

That is just free-dumb.

OP I am a liberal and disagree that the Derby is "sadly American" as you wrote. If you review the back stories of the owners, trainers and jockeys, you have people representing many races, classes and countries. Even the Queen of England loves Kentucky + its horses.

I guess it should use camels and take place in Egypt. Will that help?
