Cubans do think they’re white. My parents do and they’re racist af. It’s fucking dumb. Also, many of the most Americanized Cubans are an older generation that immigrated in the 70s and 80s. They’ve been in the country long enough to accrue some wealth and suddenly consider themselves rich and therefore vote with the…

And racism! Don’t forget that light-skinned/white-passing latinos (like my white Cuban parents) are racist af! They resent being lumped in with any ethnic group that has “indios*” though they’d never say it in those terms.

*Latinos with indigenous features. You know, people!

I said this higher up in this same thread - it’s also pure racism! White hispanics/white-passing Latinos (my parents and grandparents, we’re Cuban American) are racist AF. They strongly identify with the white supremacist values of the GOP.

It’s also class, of course. Those with upper-ish middle income feed from the…

Omfg preach. My parents are Cuban immigrants. Dad’s family was fortunate enough to get a visa with their last bit of savings and entered the country legally. HOWEVER My mom came as a literal refugee on the Mariel Boatlift (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariel_boatlift) who was allowed into the country on a plea of…

Trump does like to get spanked... 

Hey, it’s Chris Pratt who married Katherine Schwa..an..neg.. (Not Pine, the other Chris P. - hehehehe crispy)

The story remains equally boring with this edit. Sorry in advance for everything.

I’m not talking about her. She is a victim and what happened to her is tragic.

I am talking about the willful misreporting seizing on this death, over other deaths, to make a point. The people willfully misreporting this to make a stupid, sanctimonious point also know their message carries better when the death is a…

Yes, of course nothing against her. She was a victim of abuse who needed care, and it sounds like the adults around her tried to care for her. She was not euthanized. She died from the results of her trauma. It’s very sad and tragic because she is an innocent in all this.

Sucks to see people willfully misreport this…

TIL that Trump knows the word sensibility. He’s growing up so fast.

Do you think Jude Law is sad J-Law isn’t his nickname?

I wonder if pearls would be clutched so hard if she weren’t white and pretty?

Definitely self conscious. But don’t worry. You can fix it. Buy products. Then you will be loved. I am your friend. I give good advice. Buy products. Then you will be lovable. I care for you. I do not judge your lack of pulp. But I want you to feel confident. That is impossible with no pulp, and also no seeds. Don’t…

You misspelled Amazon’s CEO’s name. It’s G A V I N B E L S O N.

“This is not saying that Asian Americans are uniquely racist, but that everyone is, and that minorities tend to aspire to whiteness, and to many that means being anti-minority.”

Funny, I like her more and more.

Excellent comment!

Can I jump in this thread to say that her response to a first time allegation of harassment isn’t even on its face the worst?

Demotion
Docked pay
Separate accused from accuser
Block communication between accused and accuser
Give accuser opportunity to still thrive at the company
