  Speaker 1: Well, hello, my friends, listen, I don't want to alarm you, but you might be a white supremacist if you drink cow's milk.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, that is a thing.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: That is a thing, apparently, we'll get into it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, you might want to put down those Oreos and that nice big tall glass of milk or your bowl of cereal or I don't know whatever else you have your milk with, because if you're drinking it, there's a very good chance that you are a white supremacist, because cow's milk is deeply rooted in white supremacy.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: So says Peter.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So now let me preface by saying I guess if I'm prefaceing I would have said it sooner, but I'm going to say it right now.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: This article.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So somebody posted this meme on Twitter.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Is anybody used to saying that?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Yet?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I think that might be the first time.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I just said that out loud.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I don't even know, but anyhow.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So somebody posted this on Twitter and I had to go hunt down, because it's just the meme.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: There was no nothing attached to it or anything and so I actually looked to see if there was an article.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And of course there is.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Of course there is.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: So here's the preface, the delayed preface.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: This was published.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The article by PETA on their website Was originally published in 2017 and then updated in 2021.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So it's still a little bit older, but I think it's probably very fair and safe to say that PETA still feels this way.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But you know, they give a very, very good explanation as to why, and it involves actors and I don't know what else.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I mean what else?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, science, it involves the science.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: The science.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Don't you love when people say the science?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so apparently I don't know how I keep a straight face.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I'm trying, man, I'm trying, but this is real.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, that's not hyperbole, I'm not joking about that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: As you know, when Christopher Walz's character in Inglourious Basterds drinks a glass of milk and a character in a pivotal scene in Get Out sips the cow secretion, what'd you say?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Dairy milk has long been embraced as a symbol of white supremacy.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's been long embraced, according to PETA, or this writer for PETA.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to read parts of this for you here.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's a.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Geneticists are alarmed that white nationalists, who are now using milk emojis and sharing photos of themselves chugging milk to celebrate their whiteness, are contorting science.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: There's the science Contorting science and using it as an excuse to hate.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: They cite an article in the New York Times about evolutionary biologists that state, because of a genetic mutation among Europeans, white people are more likely to be able to digest lactose, according to this.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It's just so silly I can't even believe I read as much as I did.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I read the whole article for you.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I can probably.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: If I remember, I'll put it in the comments.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So what do you think?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Are you going to stop drinking milk?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, you probably should.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You should probably stop putting it in your coffee and stop being a white supremacist by drinking milk.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Duh, I can't even.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I can't even.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And because I had to, so do you?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, oh, by the way, this is the article.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I've got to share that part.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: It's just a clip of it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll try and remember.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: No guarantees.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, digest that people.
