You said everything I wanted to write/yell at this person. I mean really, America has a very racist past, and present. But France isn't some shining knight in terms of race relations. The French also sent troops to fight for the Free French Army in WWII from their African colonies. It wasn't really much of a…

Nope.

I just found the transcript for the interview to make sure I wasn't misremembering. And she didn't say that to the exchange student, she said it to the interviewer as a "joke" to lampoon her creepy behavior. Still not finding it funny.

I don't feel like I took the quote out of context. Sure it was meant as a joke, but saying you want to skin a group of people and wear them as a costume isn't very funny to me. Maybe I'm too sensitive. And no you didn't state that you didn't find the performance problematic. But I also find that a lot of times in…

Double post, darn you Kinja!

Sorry about the formatting problem for you. To put it really simply the site just had a conversation pointing out the history of appropriating South East Asian, specifically Japanese, culture and tradition and how white people like Perry co-opt it without understanding it to make themselves look "exotic" while…

Actually if you read the link that I posted a lot of the "nuance" is taken away and it becomes pretty clear that this performance was racist. She probably didn't intend for it to be that way, but it was. Not everyone has to be up in arms angry or offended by what happened, but acknowledging that it was at the very…

And just because someone isn't offended doesn't mean that they get to decide that what happened isn't offensive. Look, I'm white. I do not get to go around and decide what is and is not offensive to people from different cultures, but it is my job to listen to their voices and respect their opinions. Some people…

Yea, but there are still those who took offense to her wearing it. In fact on tumblr a lot of Japanese Americans really did not like her doing it, so their voices are just as valid as those who took no offense.

Wow three things on that list were high waisted bottoms (jeans, shorts, skirts). AKA all I ever wear ever. I look amazing in them. Like I look bow down to me gorgeous in that shit. Not that I really care about what random dudes think of my clothes, but I have the hardest time fathoming how anyone doesn't love high…

I had a lab, anytime she or our other dog did anything wrong she would go and sit in a corner and look guilty until we found what had gone wrong. Like she had given herself a time out. It was the saddest and funniest thing ever.

Ha ha ha, there are probably a lot of universities with more ghost cred then Kenyon, so when we make the claim we always emphasize "college". It's pretty funny to me, I mean apart from the ghosts.

You know what, no! It has happened on my back on a car ride, but usually I am on my stomach or side.

Kenyon! Probably one of many schools to claim the most haunted mantle!

Yes! I literally just wake up but cannot move my body. I know I am awake and cannot move, so I try to move my body and hyperventilate in hopes of waking my body up. It sucks, and it's scary, but dude, yours sounds 10 times worse. If I saw anything along with just not being able to move I would be in tears.

Dude I feel you on the sleep paralysis. I get that at least 6 times a year, but at least I don't have visions like other people do. Just can't move. Your experience with it sound terrifying.

So I went to a college that happens to have a lot, and I mean a lot, or ghost stories. We even make claims to being "the most haunted college in America" or something like that. Well during my freshman year there I had a double in one of the older dorms, which didn't have any "real" ghost stories like some of the…

woah! I babysat for someone who had this issue and I'm gonna be honest, not thick enough for that type of money.

I noticed that too! Was that just a typo on Jezebel or did she actually write that? Also I wanted to vomit while reading the advice. And Joe, I know Melissa and you say you aren't need, but dude seriously. Learn to me alone for a little bit. Won't kill you... unless you actually have no clue how to take care of…

Seriously. The way that some people describe "masculinity" and manhood in America makes men sound like they are incredibly cranky preschoolers who like to knock down everyone's blocks when they don't get their way. Like how does that make your arguments sound better? If anything it makes me want to give them a…
