A new mental disorder called "Snapchat dysmorphia" has been invented to describe people who get plastic surgery so that they look better on Snapchat.

The New York Times published an article lamenting the fact that there are so many white people in New Hampshire. The Left continues to engage in blatant bigotry against white people under the guise of pushing "diversity." But socially engineered diversity is wrong and self-defeating.
