Sigh. I accidentally recommended this horrible post, and can't seem to unrecommend it for some reason. Anyway, you're an ass. Asian women don't fetishize white men. The fact that many Asian women in America are with white men is simply explained by the fact that the majority of men in America are white.

There is so much to love in this comment. The perfect, detailed narrative, ending with the awesome last line. The use of the word "portly," which is just perfectly descriptive and oddly gentlemanly. You are very funny.

Thank you for linking to this. I thought it was wonderful. So much of what she says is — I don't know, like a light that quietly goes on and you see all these things that you should have been aware of the whole time. Like when she says that her current classmates take education for granted, and that (for them, and…

Yes, absolutely. It's awful to think of all the kids out there who could do so much but will never have the chance.

The way the one penguin-dog turns its head (with the orange tufts on top) is just amazing. I can't decide how best to describe it — majestic, or disdainful, or suspicious, or something else entirely. Whatever it is, it's better than pretty much anything else.

Wow. There's something kind of diabolical about that.

I find it hard to believe these dogs didn't have some help removing the faces of the stuffed animals. But I don't care. I love the shots of them wearing the stuffed animals. I am a grim, humorless person who rarely actually laughs out loud at random internet things, but I laughed almost to the point of tears at the…

I can't describe in words how jealous I am of you. This dog is adorable and sounds awesome.

That face. And those soft floppy ears. Your puppy is unbearably cute.

Sinead was so beautiful in those days (Lion and the Cobra, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got) that it was really almost shocking. And her voice was astonishing.

Recommending this just for the Oxford comma.

I have nothing worthwhile to add. Just that I agree with this in every way.

Agreed. But, as I've only recently become aware, people apparently say and think some pretty offensive things about white/Asian couples too. For example, I've heard that "most white guys who date Asian women are into little girls, or are secretly gay, because Asian women have underdeveloped bodies." Or that the…

I love this very much.

Thanks!

It's actually kind of awesome how many indescribably obnoxious things are crammed into the first few paragraphs of this email — even before he gets to the revolting matchmaking request. He is so proud of the stupidest things — how many gmail contacts/FB friends/Twitter followers he has, the fact that google will…

These kinds of discussions always make me feel a little sick with anxiety, because I have a child who sustained a traumatic brain injury a couple of years ago. There were some frightening, weird behavior and cognitive changes for many months after, and some of those things flare up again if there's a head bump (e.g.,…

I had a similar realization about an in-law. For years I've believed him to be a sociopath. (I'm absolutely unqualified to make that assessment, but he fit every single trait so squarely that it was kind of shocking.) I learned just a couple of years ago that, when he was maybe 5 years old, he sustained a serious…

Thank you for pointing this out. It was one of many extremely important, intelligent, and compassionate things she said. I really have no words for how impressed I am by this person.

I have nothing to add to this excellent comment, except to say that every word of it is perfect.
