You're not being moronic, but you're being irresponsible and potentially offensive if you don't take the time to think about what your words are likely to mean to other people. You can't always know what's going on in other people's heads, but we're talking here in the Lily Allen context about reasonable, expected…

To the people that don't understand why adults go to Disney:
Someone sent me a clip of SNL introducing the new cast members. I seriously thought it was a joke and they were going to be like, "Just kidding! Here is our real, not homogeneous cast." It's really hard to believe. I still think maybe it's all a joke.
I get really bummed out about racism, so this definitely made me feel better :)
God Millennials are so selfish, with their long years of work ahead of them and no retirement. Don't even get me started on the ones without jobs, those lazy bums. Really, they should have known better to go to college, since a lifetime of minimum-wage service work would have been much, much better.
It wasn't serious, sorry, I need to work on making that clearer in the future. Good points, though.
Thanks for sharing on GT! I feel so bad though that some people are thinking this is serious. I always think, "who could possibly say these things seriously?" But sadly, lots of people do say these things seriously, which is why I feel the need to post about it in the first place. Poe's Law is proven to be true once…
I am so sorry to everyone that thought this was serious. It's not serious, it's my interpretation of arguments that I hear people make defending racism against Roma.

Roma people are the ONLY people that have ever treated me badly. No other group has criminals in it, especially white Europeans. This is likely due to…
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?
This is so helpful to those poor, miserable women in porn. They must really feel empowered when people say they must have been abused as children in order to have wound up doing porn.
I just got some leggings that are a little too small for me but I would like to wear them anyway. Anyone have suggestions for how I can avoid the issue pictured above?
Wearing blackface doesn't make you a racist. Some people just are totally blind to race, so wearing blackface and relying on stereotypes about black people is just a meaningless thing that the PC police are just reading into. Stereotypical depictions of people are fun and silly! Like that silly Hide Yo Kids guy from…
If someone is annoying you, is it OK to murder them? Weigh in on the controversy tonight on Dr. Phil.

Millennials,
I tend to ask everyone "where are you from originally?" just to make conversation. I worry though that some people interpret this as me asking them their ethnicity. They say "I was born in California but my parents are from Korea" for example. But I really would never ask about ethnicity upfront like that for no…
