Wait. Ireland did something dumb. She's 18. You, who are likely far older than 18, are saying she should die in a fire —- and she's the gremlin?

Honestly, I cannot wait for season three of Girls but I just hate that this young lady is taken so seriously when the previous standard used to be Sontag, Oates, hooks, etc. Take-out is all I had, wah wah wah. Bitch, be happy your ass didn't starve because you didn't have NO food.
That's what you took away from reading this?
Why all the links to Perez Hilton? Ugh. Let's not give him anymore page views.
Interesting that you're so comfortable dehumanizing someone else to make your point.
How was she supposed to know that? Are pop stars meant to be well-versed on cultural traditions all over the globe? Was her Maori-culture-consultant remiss in not telling her this rule beforehand? I think that her smile and her warm reaction was more than enough to convey that she appreciated their welcome tradition.…
So what you're saying is that it's ok to "call out white privilege" even when that entails tearing down a specific person who did nothing to deserve it. Are pretty white female celebs now the acceptable collateral damage in this crusade against "white privilege"? You're the one that missed the point.
Who gives a fuck about women who look like Kate Bosworth? Jezebel, if you go by the cover of their book.
No, I totally understand that this is a systemic issue. But it has nothing to do with Bosworth. She has a fashion line coming out and has a good PR team. She's being attacked for the crime of being boring and pretty. I think there are very important things to say about why Gurira isn't on any magazines but I don't…
This is the bitchiest article I've read on Jezebel yet. I get the point of it; yay diversity, and boo to only showing thin blondes on all the covers, but I would have preferred a discussion about the actual issue and not a catty personal attack on the merits, or lack thereof, of the actress/model in question. As a…
But she's doing it in a way that personally attacks Bosworth and doesn't make the point you're mentioning very well (or at all). There are so many better, nicer ways to have the conversation about putting POC who are working and doing in the forefront without dissing this little slice of sunshine.
Welcome to yet another edition of women on the internet bitching cattily about other women.
Shitting all over a woman for being too "beige". FEMINISM, GUYS!! FEMINISM!!!!
Wow. Blonde, slender and pretty? The fucking nerve of her. Please.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
she did a very ineffective job of making her point.
Hate the system, not Kate Bosworth.
Whoa, a reference to a(n admittedly adorable and precocious) black girl as your "spirit animal" and "sassy" in the same post?
