Today, my mother told me I should volunteer in Africa, because I might "get lucky, catch malaria and come back skinny". FML

Tell her to take a trip to the sun, she might get a heart after it thaws out.

That incredibly insensitive. She should volunteer in Africa. It might make her a more nicer person, it sounds like she's needs it.

Your mom's an asshole, but that's not even how malaria works. It's like getting a wicked bad flu- you can still eat and drink; it doesn't affect your digestion.

Are you paying for the ticket? Then you go somewhere where you have a large chance of not having an issue...like South Africa

I laughed too hard at this. Might be a wake up call tho.

You're mom sounds like an insensitive bitch on one level. If you feel like you need to lose weight do it the healthy way. But if you're comfortable then don't sweat it

this is one of the most ******* offensive, extreme examples of racial propagation. africa isn't running rampid with malaria. it's like saying china is full of bird flu or that the U.S. is full of STDs. so I'd really appreciate if "strayy" could stfu.

#28, you know #25 can say they are offended by it. It isn't being childish to be angry at racist things. It isn't right to say OP should shut up though since it was their mother that said it - not them.
