I mean in 1960 the “non-Hispanic white” population was 85.4%. Not to mention this is probably a single family. Though making one of the people black for diversity would be pretty funny. At least there’s some women in there, but they’ve had to settle for two fifths.

Hey now, they don’t want to bring back everything from the 50s… Suggest bringing back the tax rates from those days, especially for the upper end of the income scale, and they’ll look at you like you’re crazy.

He’s a dumb nazi with a diaper full of McDs. Of course he’s angry.

Probably takes 3 people with superiour genes and a tarp just to get him into a fresh nappy.

During the 50s, getting divorced was frowned upon. And I was reading about how housewife’s frequently were either drugged/intoxicated to deal with their abusive husbands, or plotting to kill them.
