That rumour was everywhere by the end of '94. Not a lot of millenials in high school then. Almost all Gen X.

    Late '80s. I was in middle school. That shit spread like wildfire.

    And by the time Millennials were in High School we almost certainly had Internet.

    Who’s this “we”, white man?

    …I was poor and didn’t have it until I started art school in ‘99

    I didnt know that only white people had internet access before 99. I'm glad they let us in, eventually. I had internet access at school before 99, but it must've been a white school or something.

    It must be cool to be white and immune to being poor.

    Edit: this comment was a Lone Ranger quote. Not just nonchalant racism. I haven't seen that movie in ages. It is a classic. Carry on friend. I apologize for assuming the worst.

    It's a line from Lone Ranger (not the Johnny Depp one).

    You are right. I haven't seen that movie in ages and forgot. I thought the person I replied to was just race baiting at first, but they were just vibing. I apologize for jumping to conclusions.
