I see this a lot and I honestly think it’s oversimplified. An explanation given in the context of genuine remorse, contrition, and including how you’ll fix it and what you’ll do to keep it from happening, can be really helpful. It can be comforting to understand the other person’s thinking, it can put both people back…

Wow - the “politically correct” card? Okay.

People are taking what they are taking from the way you are speaking about people of other races here. It belies much more than you think; it doesn’t really matter anymore if you’re just walking up to people and asking.

Again, you’re not getting it. It’s not about being “hush hush” about race. It’s about not asking people what they are to satisfy your personal curiosity.

Also, literally all the “curiosities” you’ve described can be learned by reading, and not making other people uncomfortable or feel othered just to satisfy your intellectual curiosity. Really, it’s quite selfish what you’re doing.

I don’t know why you think that not being out here to offend people means that we must “excuse your brazenness” rather than you taking a look at your fetishistic behavior of OTHER HUMAN BEINGS.

It’s interesting that you are so very “open” as people are explaining to you why they don’t like being called exotic and yet, down here you are telling someone that if they take it negatively it’s on them. Come on dude.

I think Dave Franco is just a total delight.

The commenter was asking because she’s not from the US. But, I am from the US, have lived here all my life, and broke out in a cold sweat of fury and fear when I read this story. I still didn’t understand the legal mechanism. It’s a super valid question, and even though it’s the kind of thing Trump-ites would ask, we…

Ooooh that pretty fun fearless is GORGEOUS.

Mine was more of a lilac/lavender gray - the color is very nice, just warm enough not to look deathly on my pale hands. It’s confusing though, since it’s supposed to be good for your nails I didn’t use it with a base coat, so it didn’t go on as smoothly as it would otherwise.

I got my third Ipsy bag this week and honestly I’ve been pretty underwhelmed by all of them. I’ve gotten the MUFE HD Foundation from them before (which means 2/3 months...) and didn’t love it, the Brazilian bum bum cream gave me an immediate migraine because it was so heavily perfumed. The Luna lip crayon was pretty…

I agree with you BUT I will say at least for Top Chef, I’d rather have the super blatant product placement once or twice an episode and their ability to keep high-level sponsors, which means that they can afford to not have really stupid tie-ins with challenges and keep the focus of the actual competition on food. I…

Here is why that doesn’t work - look what he was able to do while we were ignoring him. We ignored Breitbart, we ignored neo-Nazis, we ignored these sentiments in our society for so long and now those chickens have come home to roost. It’s only by shining a light on these creeps and especially who is feeding them that…

I watch this video at least once a month. And I just love the kid playing guitar in the background, living his absolute wildest dream and not even trying to play it cool.

Sure, but there’s a reason this is flaring up again now. It’s important to acknowledge history, but the “these people have always hated each other” argument obscures the present moment and also opportunities for a new direction.

I saw his stand-up not really knowing what I was in for and it was unpleasant. A lot of the punchlines seemed to be “haha women are stupid” cloaked in the worst of smarmy liberalism.

Fucking get him Tibby

I did not know this was a thing and it makes me very happy!

He is a human boat shoe but I just love him so much. He definitely knows his shit in terms of policy more than the others (except maybe Dan but I always forget about him).
