(You must pay for all travel arrangements and sign a waiver assuming civil and criminal liability for any violent consequences.)<\/p>\n<p>For $10,000, I will design a custom racist rant wherein I abuse you in public with all sorts of controversial and racially charged language. <\/p>\n<p>I also offer special deals on sexism, and can provide bigotry against homosexuals, Muslims, trannies, Jews, and people who voluntarily live in Luxembourg. I can also do immigration status and intelligence level.<\/p>\n<p>I also offer fat jokes, which I outsource to a team of bodybuilders, fitness models, and personal trainers. Former Olympians also available at a premium. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t anti-Christian. Can&#8217;t touch it. Market&#8217;s flooded. Maybe in a few years when they start trying to outlaw oral sex or something. <\/p>\n<p>To be honest, this is a bit of side hustle right now, I still pay the bills with writing fiction&#8230; and occasionally satire. <\/p>\n<p>But I look forward to the day when I can go full time and proudly hang a shingle over my office door:<\/p>\n<p>Devon Eriksen: Professional Racist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Update, 3 November<\/strong>: Welcome, <em>Instapundit<\/em> readers!
