It seems like you're mistaking "white people" for "this generation". No one gives a shit, of any color. As a reasonable, young white person, I "care", I "hear ya", every single point you make is valid. But am I going to do anything, personally, about it? Nope. I'm gonna go play with my phone and not give a shit about…

I'm going to have to disagree.
I don't know any black people who are in support of Tyler Perry's portrals of black women (or black men). Most consider them to be stereotypical, backward and embarrassing. I don't know a single person who watches let alone recommends any of his movies.
This is just my own point of view.

I'm a man of the same "race" (whatever that means!) as Mindy, and yes it annoys me that she doesn't date Indian men on the show, but then it also bothers me that she doesn't date black men, men from Southeast Asia, et al. Further, if the show were realistic, then most of the doctors on the show would be Chinese or…

I mean, I think we agree, the only issue I have is defaulting white people's indifference to everyone's indifference. People of color exist, we have opinions, we voice them because we care. The fact that white people don't listen, doesn't mean that no one cares to criticize a Seinfeld or Lorre. It just means white…

I agree with you in that the majority (i.e., white people) do not care when POC complain about lack of diversity on these shows like Seinfeld and Friends. You're absolutely right. White people do not care. And, that's my point. POC complain and no one cares.

But that's not true. There's a history of fans and critics wanting to see more diversity in shows that feature all-white casts: "Cheers," "Fraiser," "Friends," How I Met Your Mother," and most recently "Girls." Don't ask me how I know this, just look it up. Now the question of diversity in casts should be answered by…

I have to say, I'm really sick of this excuse that people use for Lena and Mindy. That no one is demanding more from everyone else. That's not true! WHITE PEOPLE may not be demanding more, but plenty of Black, Latino, and Asian organizations and individuals have been lamenting the lack of diversity in television…

I think those feelings come from a place of frustration and hurt more than wanting to hold Kaling to a double standard. People credit Shonda Rhimes, and rightly so, for promoting color blind casting and ensuring she has an ethnically diverse cast. The fan probably hoped that Mindy Kaling would do something similar…

Cultures don't really have rights, though. People do.

It's one thing if you're talking, like he is, about acoustic music, especially if it's like 11pm or midnight. But I have a friend in Inwood and people drive around the block blasting their car radios at 2, 3 and 4am. That's not cool. And don't tell me there aren't families with young kids and people who have to get up…

6am isn't an unusual time to get up. Many people who work in the service industry, office workers, public schools and utilities have to get up around this time.

The diversity of the models correlates closely to the diversity of the US population. It seems disingenuous to claim that the show is truly international, given that the glut of designers for NYFW are US based, and given the fact that there are other Fashion Weeks across the world. I'm not saying that we shouldn't…

Not everyone has read Jezebel for years, or paid attention to fashion week. If the point of Jezebel is just for people who all think about the same things the same way to congregate and agree with one another, that seems fairly unproductive.

"A pretty small fraction of women meet the standard 5'10"+, and those who do are usually of Northern European descent."

I've always liked Coco. And damn. That's a really well done snowcoco. If I attempted that, it would probably have an extra limb.

Well, my dad, even in his older age, gets up at around 5-6 a.m. and goes and digs, pours cement, lifts stones, and does general hard labor until well past dinner time in his summer peak. He goes through about an entire cooler full of drinks and ends the day as drenched as if he had just gone for a swim with his…

Serious problems with the show notwithstanding, it's actually not abnormal for people to be engaged in physical activity for 6 hours a day. As previous posts on this story have pointed out, mail carriers, food servers, industrial workers, etc. all do physical activity all day long. Sitting all day at a job is not…

It's no different than a construction worker working 9 hours a day lifting shit all day. The human body is amazing.

- I can't even with the Madonna/Miley thing...

If it's happening everywhere, then by that very supposition, this says everything about the gaming community and industry. And just as other industries and communities need to battle this behavior in their own respective groups, we too need to do our part in the gaming community.
