Be a Man. Or even better, be a tough Russian.

Toughen up, right? That’s the message subtext here.

As someone who has been diagnosed with Celiac and who has a Celiac child I find this dismissive additude OFFENSIVE.

I don’t know anything about Russian or Asian Celiac rates of occurance, but I bet they aren’t that much different than the US. The only difference being awareness and diagnosis.

how many internet points do you win for being OFFENDED? is your CHILD also OFFENDED?

Do you disagree with the subtext here?
