A dangerous assumption here that ALL people are inherently self-infatuated. Is Donald Trump the best synonym for humanity? Do benevolent, selfless people exist?

But are they? Claims like this are subjective when some consumers genuinely don't appreciate the true authenticities of Vice or Kanye. Sometimes, we don't like it when we see someone's true colors. A later Trump example in this article further highlights my argument. Is it better to be authentic if the reality stinks?

This is my modern dating crisis. All men are pigs anyway though, so does it really matter?

why are these capitalized

I definitely appreciate the compliment and attention, but I'd say this might need a source and evidence.

The title says it all. But maybe Donald Trump just can't help it. He was born this way - with an unsophisticated flavor palette, I mean. https://jezebel.com/donald-trump-eats-his-steak-well-done-with-ketchup-lik-1792770173

Says who? Are references to mythology or to literary symbolism/allusions really credible and valid sources? Never have I ever experienced bull-like strength.

This nears contradiction to "Food that isn't associated with whites will be called ethnic." German and Irish people are white. Consequently, this article inadvertently interchanges the words "white" and "American" which is not entirely accurate or appropriate.

So maybe in the broadest essence, "ethnic" describes many of these cheap and inauthentic foods correctly. Taco Bell might not be authentically hispanic but it is a different taste and it is a different culture. Connotatively, Taco Bell (certainly) is an American lie, but denotatively, is it ethnic? Is ethnic marked by "difference" or by "authenticity"?

To pay for it? Or to find it? Where I am located, it is just culturally uncommon to find culturally authentic foods. I suspect that this issue is less economical for many and more geographical.

I feel like...maybe...just maybe...Congress could do something just a hair more productive. Then again, as I type this sarcastic comment, I realize that country music might mean more unto others than it does to me. County music (and all music) impacts others in different ways. I'm curious to know the correlation between country music and the Gulf War/American identity.

Okay but I actually find this quote hugely important to the ever prevalent social concept of labeling! Think about how brutally just one single word has pervaded our sociopolitical atmosphere. Not everything can be diminished to sticks and stones when we accidentally label an entire ethnicity into "niggadom."

Once again, I am in awe at these scholarly sources. Iconic.

Not to be the stylistically pretentious snob that I totally am, but why would you include the "War on Drugs" in the title to this article's entirety if it's just a "brief discussion" that isn't introduced until the 12th page!!!! Just saying!!!!

Who's gonna profile the police officers though? [curious emoji]

Or, is music a product of socially constructed racial and ethnic boundaries?

Not to entirely delegitimize the validity of the article, but I would argue that only gathering information in Los Angeles would be a flaw in any scientific method based experiment. Similar to science, data is more valid when it is experimented over numerous variables. Making conclusions based solely on the African-American culture in one California city and then applying this conclusion as a poster child for all African-Americans and their relationships to rap music seems to be too assumptive.

A highly reputable source. Choosy scholars choose Daddy-O.

Wordsworth makes the most prominent and explicit sentiment to the Poems' purpose here - directly sharing his authorial goals, technique, and train of thought. Taking what's ordinary, and presenting it otherwise.

Latin poet of the late Roman Republic who wrote neoteric poetry

I would make the claim that Wordsworth is attempting to portray a likable sense of humility for public appeal, and I just have to say that we see right through that Wordy.
