Because apparently white people are not allowed to ask POC questions about racial issues. They are supposed to magically glean a nuanced, deep, and 100% perfect understanding of the issues via Google because having a productive and earnest conversation with a real human is expecting too much.

The reason she contacted her in the first place was because of comments Margaret made about Tilda’s casting. It’s not like she picked a random Asian person out of a hat . Margaret made comments about Tilda being cast in a role. Tilda decided to contact her and talk to her.

It really seems like Cho brazenly misrepresented their conversation. Huh! Not a good look

Agreed. I voted Hillary, but she lost. That’s it, she’s done. For better or worse he is in. Shit like what this girl did makes me sick. And stop calling her a foolish teen, shes a piece of shit antagonist, pls read up, her brother pulled the same kind of shit a few years ago. No mention of that here..

Three separate incidents of gay people lying about being discriminated against made the national news in the last few years. The point is that these people get a lot of attention so it looks like it’s more common than it is. One teenager crying wolf doesn’t make it a thing but three adults and one teenager and stoking…

No, it isn’t. Teens who do that are not actually hurting victims of real crimes. This is not a bit of teen mischief. This is a seriously fucked up and harmful thing this woman did. I can’t believe how many people on this board are laughing it off like she shoplifted a pen from the local dollar store.

Sorry, no — people like this “young woman” make the real stories less believable, particularly to those who don’t WANT to believe them. She is part of a problem — not ALL the problems, but A problem. Fuck her. I’m not doing mental gymnastics to try to say this shit is not utterly abhorrent, sorry.

Kids are dumb af but wasting probably thousand of tax dollars and weeks of police time is serious. I hope she gets sentenced to lots of community service and she gets the help she needs to deal with what she has going on at home.

thank you. I felt lately here I’ve been taking crazy pills. So many people here are acting like: why do we get Trump after Obama cured cancer, walked on water, and was friends with Beyonce; it often renders me speechless.

I don’t understand why he insists on that ridiculous hairpiece though. We have seen the pictures of his real hair, why why why does he do this?!

Thank you Mr. Travolta for finally killing the stereotype of the always stylish gay man.

He lives a cushy life, all right. He refuses to drink out of a bowl, so my husband and I have to be at his beck and call when he’s thirsty. He runs into the living room to alert us of said thirst, and it’s our job to go turn on the bathroom sink and leave him alone to drink. If you look at him, he won’t do anything,…

Very scary moment over here, thought this was SNS and that it had been Saturday all day without me knowing it.

I did, AND checked her twitter. She tweeted that she’s American and the whole article is about the American political climate. The sentiment still stands, bud.

Absolutely agree with you and found this article really just tasteful. For those people saying “read the article “, I did and I’m sure you did as well. If the author wants to look at the choices she makes every day and how she rewards and/or placates her children, great. But choosing Christmas as her battle cry—what…

I mean, I don’t have kids, but I feel like it’s pretty easy to do both. Buy them gifts AND take them to volunteer. The thing I think is most crazy that I hear from parents about Christmas is that if you don’t get your kids the EXACT thing they want, Christmas is ruined. Half the time I didn’t get the thing I wanted…

I hate Donald Trump and I encourage calling out all the terrible shit that he’s causing in the US and around the world. But lady, don’t use Trump as a justification for your Grinch-ness. Whether you genuinely think consumerism is bs, or in reality you just resent the fact that you feel pressured to spend some extra…

in this life, you can build up, or you can tear down...i’m going to assume our fair writer is simply in one of the first stages of grief about how much our world has changed, and is numbly despondent.

Yeah, I don’t really get this ridiculously cynical essay. Your kids will experience the adversity necessary to build character soon enough without your conscious interference.

“There is a part of me that wants my kids to feel, at least in some relatively painless and abstract way, that the world is fucked.”
