I made comments about not being worried about a team that started 5 white boys (Saint Marys). Daddy Ball's comments were stupid, factually incorrect and not a good look, but I dont see why people are upset over them based on his history.

There are studies that prove this to be correct. People do it with others of our own race too. Our minds are conditioned throughout our lives to think/react a certain way. Perfect example.

Scenario A: Midnight and a person is walking in a dark alley alone, wearing a red shirt, and they see three black teenagers wearing blue bandanas from afar.
- White person: Shit, I'm about to get robbed if I dont turn around.
- Black person: Shit, I'm wearing red tonight, I'm about to get it from these Crips if I don't turn around.

Scenario B: Now change the scenario to three white teenagers wearing blue bandanas.
- White person: LOL. Keeps walking.
- Black Person: LOL. Keeps walking, but with a bit more caution.

- Scenario A, both make assumption of based solely on race. Scenario B both make assumption that they are Malibu's Most Wanted, but the black person still assumes that they may be racist and want to mess with him just because of his skin color.

I was just thinking last night on something related. I was in KMart, and was the only white person in the store, every other customer and the employees were Latino. I was wondering how my Tucson kin, who all live in white neighborhoods would handle it.

Recall one time my youngest brother and his wife stopped in LA at a convenience store when driving up here, and my sister in law was internally freaking out since all she saw was blacks and Latinos.

I told her that anytime you see blacks and Latinos in the same place, you are in a safe neighborhood.

Tucson likes to think they are progressive, but that is one segregated city.
A lot of the east side is as much of a melting pot as you are going to see in this country. With some of the other neighborhoods, you have to understand that there is a pull for those people to stay in those neighborhoods and it usually revolves around family. The Hispanic community is tight knit, generations stay in the same neighborhoods and houses get passed down to younger generations. People are comfortable knowing the same neighbors, shopping at the same places, etc. Back in the day, if you were black you could only live in the South Park, A-Mountain or Silvercroft neighborhoods. While that is not the case now, those neighborhoods are still predominately black because of the comfort level, it is home.

I cant think of many (if any) places that do not have at least some level of segregation. In Phoenix, LA, Houston, Denver, New York, Detroit, wherever, you know what neighborhoods/sides are predominately black, hispanic, asian, etc. If you want to see something wild, walk the entire perimeter of Central Park. Up to a certain point, its almost entirely white with a few racial minorities sprinkled in. Then for a block its only Dominicans. Then the next block it's only Puerto Ricans. Then the next block, its only Asians. Next block, Jamaicans. Then you get to the northern portion, and it is only African Americans. Seriously, it is like there are electrical barriers than prevent Puerto Ricans from walking past the invisible Asian and Dominican barriers in the park. Each portion of the park aligns with the blocks to the side of it. So the Dominicans live in the housing on the block west of the park. On the north of the park is Harlem, and the portion of the park that aligns with Spanish Harlem has mostly Ricans and Cubans. Obviously, in many instances there is still true, forced segregation which is sad (ie Charleston and a lot of the south). Any segregation in Tucson can be attributed to homophily (birds of a feather flock together) and bigger reasons/issues that exist on a national level, as well as issues from decades ago. Tucson is a very unique and special place, and I cannot think of any black or hispanic friends who have actually spoken about race specifically in this town that have said it is worse here than any other place. There are definitely racists here and issues with racism, but on a much smaller scale than pretty much anywhere else.

Screw that. Here's the condiment hierarchy:

1. Salsa
2. Hot sauce
3. Bbq sauce
4. Mustard/Ketchup
5. Butter
6. Horseradish
7. Steak sauce

1,500. Mayo.

Mayonaise is sort of like receiving a lap dance from an exceptionally unattractive woman who smells like raw sewage.

I remember eating at a restaurant once and a large guy wearing an Ohio State sweater at the table next to mine ordered the chili. It wasn't that big of a bowl...But he must've put 3 packs of saltines and a half cup of ketchup into it. It haunts me to this day.

Seriously, I don't even know why someone would think to do that.

My rankings are based in this:

I like adding spice and flavor. I like versatility. Salsa and hot sauce have almost endless options. I tried ketchup on eggs once and it was really unpleasant.

I'm sure growing up in the southwest has a lot to do with it, but I really need strong flavors. I just started buying these a lot:

If you don't like ranch you aren't American haha.

And when a lot of us say Mayo we don't necessarily mean plain mayo, I use it to make a lot of different sauces and things. It's versatile to mix with stuff and create other things.

What do you put on a sandwich then if you don't like mayo? Salsa? Sandwiches are required by law to have mustard and mayo on them.

That's mayo for you. Only possibly capable of ingestion if mixed with enough other things to disguise the taste and consistency.

Sandwiches have plenty of options. Mustard (plus it's varieties), ketchup for burgers, bbq sauces, horseradish, etc. Mayo is usually on sandwiches because lazy slobs enjoy gooping it on.

I also somewhat dislike ranch. I say somewhat because cool ranch chips are awesome and I can get behind the flavor. The thick, slippery consistency throws me. It seems very comparable to semen, and I don't find that particularly appetizing. Cool ranch powder, I'm all for.

Maybe I just dislike white condiments? I'm exploring my own potential prejudices as we go here.

There's no way ranch should be controversial. It's a got a buttermilk tang. That wins on all accounts.

Ketchup on mac and cheese is like some kind of animal got disembowelled. But in any home in Turkey, your host will make a pasta with a sauce of olive oil, a touch of sautéed garlic, and tomatoes from the garden. And when those steamy bowls of goodness are set on the table, nobody in the family will ever dream of forgoing the next step of squeezing ketchup and mayonnaise all over it. One time when I didn't, the grandmother committed an over-the-back foul and did it for me.

Frosty-dipped fries are a true pleasure rivaling even chocolate ice cream on waffles.

I'll go with hot sauce on mac and cheese. That's probably my oddest condiment/food combo.

On ranch, I've had some that is thin, but generally it winds up thicker. I don't like dressings that do that. For me, it's pretty much vinegarette or nothing.

I had an old teammate that put mayo on EVERYTHING. I sat there and watched him plop a heaping tablespoon of mayo into a bowl of corn, stir it up, and eat it. The dude had a mini-fridge in his dorm and the only thing in it most of the time was a bottle of mayo. In case you were wondering, he wasn't white. :lol:

I put hot sauce (sriracha, frank's or Louisiana depending on mood) on pizza, mac and cheese, eggs, and a few other things. That green tobacco sauce is good too. Maybe once a year I will throw some ketchup on my mac and cheese for nostalgia purposes, as I did that as a kid. I couldn't eat scrambled eggs without ketchup as a kid, but I haven't had those two together since I was 13 or 14. My Mexican wife eats her tamales with ketchup and I give her shit every time. Even her stepmother's tamales, which are among the best I have ever had.

I'll go with hot sauce on mac and cheese. That's probably my oddest condiment/food combo.

On ranch, I've had some that is thin, but generally it winds up thicker. I don't like dressings that do that. For me, it's pretty much vinegarette or nothing.
Not odd at all. Have leftover easter mac and cheese for lunch today and I forgot hot sauce. I'm saddened.

Was skyping with my daughter and son in law yesterday. They made avocado deviled eggs. She hates mayo, and asked her what did she use for a substitute. She said Greek yogurt/yoghurt.

So after that my wife made me make some, but with real mayo. Being I have several avocado trees generally always have some ripe sitting around.

Is her family from the midwest? I grew up in MI, and that's how we ate it. Do they also mix Cool Whip with jello?

My wife's family from Wisconsin/Minnesota drenches things in ketchup. Her grandpa eats cheeseburgers with a bowl of ketchup on the side for dunking. He even puts ketchup on his venison meatballs with brown gravy and potatoes. A good 4-5 tablespoons per bowl of food.

I mean this is a thread about Lonzo Ball, this is as good a place as any to have this discussion for multiple pages.

Lavar Ball has a condiment that is better than anything you've proposed.

How were the deviled eggs with avocado? I think avocado is generally a good replacement for mayo but haven't tried that one.

Quite good. But since avocado has such a subtle flavor I had to put in less mustard than usual, and no onions at all. I really like very small diced onions in deviled eggs normally. Sometimes a hint of horseradish too but not this time.
