We now live in some kind of bizarro world where WRs are quiet and subdued (Megatron, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, A.J. Green) while CBs are loud and flamboyant.

Richard Sherman is a huge douchebag and a jerk, but he's GREAT for football! I want more interviews like that which are full of honesty and emotion, rather than some banal robotic response that you'd get from a Peyton Manning or a Calvin Johnson.

No "47 Ronin?"

Come on. Ashley Wagner is designed to be the Beautiful "All-American" Hope that America wants to root for against Kim Yuna and Mao Asada. America has accepted Asian women to a great extent, but not so much to dethrone the Blonde Beauty.

Yeah, Black women definitely have a great level of control over their perception due to the immense power that Black women have in the media and culture industries. Remember how it totally wasn't a big deal that Scandal actually featured a Black woman in the lead role, or that Kerry Washington got nominated for an…

You're right in that it's contradictory on its face. In fact, a popular tweet a while ago by a Black woman said, sarcastically, that it was a "Black female privilege" to be simultaneously thought of as unattractive but also hypersexual.

You do realize that White slave masters raped and impregnated Black female slaves all the time, right? Even while upholding the idea that Blacks were not even human.

You get "It," 100%.

You make a great point, though obviously, Barack Obama would be the One Great Exception.

Well said. "Color-blind" is often just code for "Don't make me question my preferences for White people!"

I think the issue of WM/AW couples, even the "normal" ones, is that even if there's not a stereotypical green card power imbalance scenario, there is still the likelihood that there is some idealization of White masculinity on the part of the Asian woman.

Well said. But the fact is that there are many people who'd just LOVE it if the definition of racial progress was simply White dudes sleeping with hot Asian/Latina women.

When you mean "Central Asian," do you mean that your husband looked East Asian-ish?

What's truly fascinating is that I read posts like HermioneStranger's and BlackIvyG's, and those discussions are almost the EXACT SAME, POINT FOR POINT, as the ones that go on in the Asian American community, except that the genders are reversed. In a world where Whites are the ideal, and Blacks are seen as…

Amen. It's sometimes similar with me and Asian women since in our community, we face the same issue but only with the genders reversed.

"Attractive" can mean someone you'd be proud to date and show off to your friends/family.

No, he didn't deserve those comments. But he should at least recognize where those comments are coming from, and that they're different from "KKK-style racism."

The issue is that non-Black men greatly discriminate against Black women. Ever check out all those online dating surveys?

Because love ISN'T colorblind. Not yet.

MLK dreamed of a society where people would be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
