I, for one, enjoyed the story. Especially the part where you told me, a middle-class white guy, how I feel about homeless people.

Okay, let's get upset about women getting paid less in every sport. But first, let's think about why they get paid less: nobody's watching. And that probably includes YOU. When's the last time you attended a WNBA game? Who was the league MVP last year? Ever watched women's golf on TV? Can you name any women

How does viciously beating homeless people give Europe a point?

Rich White girls don't like being sexually harassed by homeless people. Polish racists are quick to aggression. News at 11.

Oh come on. I'm no Thicke fan but to say that he was somehow in charge of that shitshow is just ridiculous. I think Miley is a powerful enough young woman to get what she wants, and to imply that she was just playing the "young near-naked woman" in a Thicke-controlled clusterfuck is just insulting to her.

She

Not to be purposefully contrarian, but this is a ridiculous premise and a dangerous precedent. I am sure that there is some Grand Dragon of the NM KKK getting ready to find an African-American photographer to photograph his daughter's wedding where everyone will be in full Klan regalia or some neo-Nazi getting ready

Stuck in traffic is a pretty lame excuse for being late to a road game (when the entire team stays at the same hotel and was able to make it on time).

Apparently this writer has no brain, or at least didn't even read the list thoroughly. On the Business section, at least two blogs and podcasts are listed that have multiple female hosts/contributors/publishers (NPR's Planet Money and Naked Capitalism). Planet Money has four female hosts; Naked Capitalism is published

Sorta like how Jezebel views the world from their special lense, what with their 1 marginalized male writer and only 2 writers of color?

IT'S "THE MAIN EVENT", NOT "THE MAIN STEVENT"!!!

This article, and the Xbox one backlash in general reminds me of this:

Killed yourself with this one, bub.

So based on my association by skin color and, admittedly, the fact that I benefit from systemic inequality (and am very much aware of and sensitive to it), I have no right to be offended that I get lumped in with the Miley Cyruses of the world?

Really, genuinely seeking clarity on why oh WHITE PEOPLE is ok.

You're reading my posts everyday!? Really!?

I love that - "despite being a woman". Hey, sorry about that experience of sexual violence, male patriarchy, and 72 cents on the dollar, but at least you're white!"

This discussion, of cultural appropriation and the flaunting of gross ignorance, is rich and important. Oh white people is noxious.

You're right. I'm a fucking barbie doll who has no basis for an opinion because I'm so goddamn WHITE. Excuse me while I go jump off a fucking bridge because I am nothing but a cultural vacuum, have never faced a challenge in my life and am, in a nutshell, worthless.

Because "white culture" doesn't involve any nuance,

White people don't have culture? Do you not interact with any white people? Listen, I dig this piece overall, but I do not dig the resulting attacks on all that is white. Just because there are things dominant and oppressive about whiteness doesn't mean you get to write off white history and culture writ large. I

I like you, Dodai Stewart, but I can't support you this time. You can't have this one both ways: either pop music created by non-dominant cultures is open to enjoyment and emulation by people outside that culture, or it is off limits to anyone not from that background and we therefor can't complain about limited sales

"Miley seems to delight in dancing much like these strippers do: Twerking, popping the ass, bending at the waist and shaking her rump in the air. Fun. But basically, she, as a rich white woman, is "playing" at being a minority specifically from a lower socio-economic level."
