I never said these questions are appropriate to pose to a child. As a matter of fact, I specifically stated, "Mind you, not in front of the kids."

I am pointing out that some of these "insults" she has the girls portraying are natural questions in the course of discussing adoption. Are these things yelled out the window as she's driving by? Was she at a party or the park? It's like she's turning every question that's ever asked of her into "people are so…
Not a villain but given that she is a photographer, I am shocked at the lack of interesting composition in the signs series. Visually speaking it, I'd prefer it starker. Perhaps in black and white. Certainly not in her yard. And the idea isn't fresh. Been done a hundred times from MTV to Youtube.
Well said.
While some of the things are hurtful, I have asked some of these same questions myself. Not in front of the kids, mind you. When discussing their adoption experiences with acquaintances, I have asked: How much did the whole process cost? Did you get to choose the baby or are you assigned one? I have also asked about…
Yeah, I'm on the fence about this one. If this is the same person, she definitely has a history of posing her kids for profit:
Being born with a physical affliction that causes curiosity is not a choice. Adopting a baby outside of your race, that may or may not cause curiosity is a choice. Adoption in general is a tricky thing. And when you willingly make a choice to adopt, you should be ready to accept the challenges that come with it. It…
You do know that blending in is necessary for self preservation? Have you heard of the expression better bend than break? There is a major difference in suggesting one move to an area with better support and social acceptance and rape. That was a big jump.
She's not a journalist. the fact that she visibly made other people uncomfortable, knew they were uncomfortable but continued; is the difference.
Hmm...how did we make the jump from adoption to sexual harassment? My sisters in law, as was I are adopted. None of us had this issue growing up. Maybe our parents just handled it differently.
You may not want to but you took on that role when you made the decision to adopt a child that is a different race than you. People who get face tattoos are going to be stared at and/or get lots of questions.
When people say real, why not take the opportunity to tell them you prefer "biological" and explain why. Then you are helping to spread the word and isn't that better than punching people?
Twist casting : Lupita as Snow White and Tilda Swinton as the Evil Step mother.
I have so many thoughts on this! First is, he's gonna die because we know the Underwoods do not like loose ends. 2) He's going to fall under Claire's spell and Claire is going to use him to turn on Francis Either way, I can't wait till S3. I hope they don't drop this story line.
If you went into an environment and people were obviously uncomfortable about being filmed. Obvious by them telling you and obvious by them putting their hand in front of their face (like what's shown in the video.) Would you antagonize them more by saying, "Well I am going to film you now!" or you would apologize…
Being androgynous or projecting a male persona online because you don't want to be harassed is one thing. But when you make plans to meet up with a group of people as the made up persona, then "commit suicide" to avoid the meeting - that's beyond avoiding harassment. That borders on fraud.
some people just like to argue to the death. it's exhausting.
I swear I love that show. I want to put a hot tub in the back of a VW van so badly. I often wondered what happened to those cars and if they the participants ended up selling immediately after the show.
I thought when Halle Berry won the Oscar, she already broke the conventional beauty barrier? She had short hair and is non white.
Were we obsessed with Megan Fox's beauty or was it mainly the GQ / Maxim reading crowd? I don't think Megan was known as a girl's girl.
