You know what I love about Ron Swanson? He’s a straight, white (bear with me, I’m going somewhere with this) traditionalist, government hating, steak eating, pipe smoking red-blooded American and you know what? He’s not racist, sexist or homophobic! His best friends are two women and a gay man for whom he was the best man for at his wedding! He accepts everyone as long as they’re “Never late and speak honestly.” He’s the pinnacle of traditional values and being a self-made man, but he’s also a really good person! We should all strive to be more like Ron Swanson. Except for his hatred of Europe. And vegetables.
