Because with people like that, the ONLY thing they have going for them is their supposedly-superior whiteness. So they cling to it like it makes them important.

Arguing that people shouldn't have a baby because they're poor is just a hop and a skip away from that. Eugenics were in practice up through the 1970's, used mainly against the poor and women of color, so it's not like it's such a huuuuge stretch to imagine it could happen again.
Ah yes, we should force everyone to show us their pay stubs and bank account balances upon conception, and if we don't approve it's straight to the abortion factory with you! Or better yet- eugenics! Forced sterilization for everyone who makes less than 40k a year. Poor people, amirite? They just can't be trusted with…
I loved Donna and Martha! And Billie Piper... blanking on her character's name. Catherine Tate is one of my favorite people EVAH, plus her character was really different from any of the other companions.
I love Wednesday. I won AT LIFE (ok, a 2nd grade spelling bee) spelling the word Wednesday. Did not know about Odin, though. I better educate myself.
OK, that made me laugh. Though to be fair about it, the best British export is Parminder Nagra.
I'm glad we got that dealt out :)
Ha I love that stuff. See, these are the types of egregious, unforgivable mistakes that could have easily been avoided if only they'd hired me.
Oh, absolutely! Though given the number of British actors on American TV these days I can only hope it'll get better. Any teenaged British diehard fans should totally try offering their consulting services to their favorite American (or whatever. Canada has a lot of great shows too) show.
Ha I'm pretty sure that Utah episode was the one that inspired my dream. Lemme tell you a few things about Utah, Mr. Moffat. It doesn't look like a dingy set in England and people don't talk in Texan accents. Ok, yes it is desolate. IN SOME AREAS! There are cities, man. Look at all the knowledge I have to offer!
Back when I was obsessed with this show I thought I might offer them my services as "Expert in American Shit", free of charge. That way their American characters could stop speaking in British sentence structures like "But I haven't a sonic screwdriver!" instead of "I don't have", and I could help actors practice the…
Oh my god, you beautiful genius! I need to go dig up my shirt right now!!
I think you just hit the nail on the head!
This little white girl (moi) wanted an Addy doll so bad!! She was sooo much cooler than the other (white) American Girl dolls and her books and her pink dress were the best. Alas, my parents were some weird brand of feminist and didn't let me have Barbies or Addy, though I suspect the latter is more because of how…
Whatevs, I got an extra large t-shirt out of it that's still way to big on me. Worth it!!
In the middle of season 2 when it looked like the rape was actually "consensual" (but let's be real, neither of them were in any state to consent) sex between her and Duncan when they were both roofied I was angry at how the show blurred the lines on consensual/roofied sex, but I could understand how Veronica might…
Hated Riley, kinda liked Piz. I mean, obviously it's Logan and Veronica 4ever, but they weren't great together- especially in season 3. Piz was a nice guy, while Riley was all icky macho and threatened by Buffy being a badass.
Ha so true. We played Rugrats on the playground and they always stuck me with Angelica because I didn't know any better :(
Aw shit yeah, TV tag! I'd gotten the names of a handful of shows from my friends' conversations, but once The Simpsons, Rugrats, and Sesame Street were used up I was screwed.
We didn't have a TV when I was a kid. I didn't have any behavioral problems, but I did get a ton of social problems out of it! I never got to join in when other kids discussed movies or shows, I became instantly and totally glued to the TV whenever I was at a friend's house, and worst of all when a girl told my class…
