To single out a particular group and say we can't make a joke about them is almost a form of prejudice and it's kind of patronizing. ↗

I'm used to a very busy schedule. Right now it revolves around training and preparing for Nationals in January. I'm usually at the rink from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. and then I attend public school for two hours, three times per week. ↗
