My friends are organizing an outing to Avenue Q in about a month, so I figured I'd listen to the soundtrack to determine if I want to come. I saw the show something like 7 years ago and enjoyed it, but WOW do I not have time for it any more

I thought for a long time "Everyone's a little bit racist" isn't a great sentiment, but I haven't actually listened to the song in ages and holy shit does it not play well. Some highlights:
- Everyone tells racist jokes, but they're funny, so chill
- Someone setting up a school for a minority is exactly as racist as thinking all members of a minority are related
- it's funny when someone in an stereotypical Asian accent says "lacist"

oh, and then the very next song is all about dudes yelling about them masturbating to a woman no matter how uncomfortable she gets and begs them to stop.

It's kind of impressive how many marks this is missing.
