Gather 'round, good people of LJ, and marvel at my stupidity!

I was just reading an article about racism in which the author made liberal use of the abbreviation "POC" and, yeah. It took me a full three quarters of a page to realize she *was not* talking about PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.

Oy.

But at least I still have my looks to fall back on, right? RIGHT? *weeps piteously as the crickets start chirping*
