Funny but problematic, in that "killed them all" perpetuates a myth that Native people no longer exist. We're still here, and we live modern, regular American-type lives for the most part. That myth makes it easier to adopt & appropriate our cultural beliefs and symbols - if we're all dead, then we weren't using them…

Minor point, but we're not all dead. We're still around.

"When we last saw her, she was "lampooning Hollywood standards of beauty" by thoughtlessly regurgitatingMiley Cyrus' gross and racist imagery."

Oh, so Jezebel is gonna act like they weren't totally down for her video and exalting it as DA BEST FEMINIST VIDEO EVAR. And when WOC complained of the racism and the…

Lily Allen is a fucking spoiled, marginally talented, upper class mean girl. She's insecure about her looks and talks a whole lot of shit about women that are prettier than she it. She also did that whole "bladdy blah, from da streets blud" mockney bullshit when she's the daughter of a super famous producer and her…

YES. Even plain ol' missionary sex is kind of awkward for me and my bf because he's so much taller—I can't imagine trying to 69. He'll try to lean down to kiss me during sex and he can't quite reach my mouth unless he makes some super weird torso contortions. I'm usually just like…kiss me later! Sadly, making out and…

The blackface thing, if true, is horrible and I don't blame her one bit for getting the heck out of there.

Y'all need to stop pretending that if some richie rich offered you 500K to fly you to Austria and come to a high-falutin' party with him, you'd wouldn't go in a goddamn heartbeat. You're not going to this party because you're super morally superior to a Kardashian, you're not going because nobody asked you.

I'm genuinely glad they're happy (and adorable!) but their happiness doesn't make a televised mass wedding backed by a pseudo-ally's gay anthem any less of a stunt.

I agree to an extent. But yet when it comes to the appropriation of sacred/religious native American symbols, such as the headdress, there is a general consensus (on this site, at least), that it is offensive and not acceptable.

I have nothing against this couple or any of the others who got married at this event (live your life how you want), but I have only one response to "the ultimate show of equality" people keep bleating this spectacle was:

Yes, that makes it hard. I've been there. We lived with my parents for quite a while. Sometimes you just have to paint on a smile to cover that "you-said-that-out-loud?!" moment and think about the future when you won't have to put up with them.

My apologies Madam. New commenter here. "tips hat"

The Goldieblox thing infuriated me. In addition to stealing the Beastie Boys' music and suing them to prevent them from claiming copyright infringement (then dumping the commercial after they got a bunch of free press out of it), it just feels like they're targeting girls because girls are just a demographic.

Maybe it's just the way I was raised, but I never compared myself to Barbie. She was just the same as Minnie Mouse, except that she was cooler than Minnie Mouse because instead of being second fiddle to Mickey, she could go off and be whoever the fuck she wanted to be. I don't think she teaches girls to get caught up…

I had many Barbie dolls growing up and - even though I was faaaaaar from a "perfect shape", I never once in my whole fat life thought that I was "supposed" to look like a doll. It's a doll.

I lived in Scotland for awhile and, uh, they have some very choice things to say about London and England :P

Duh don't you know London=UK! I'm a Londoner and even I think the bias shown towards London is unfair. Not to mention that a vast amount of Angophiles who arrive in London end up realising its not the one of their fantasies (like it has a huge non-white population and there are areas where poverty is rife which…

I genuinely detest Anglophiles. The people who assume that life in the UK = living in London and being in a Richard Curtis movie. Casually forgetting that its a deeply diverse country of 65 million people and has all the issues that other countries have. That article does sound gross and thank you for telling me what…

Oh yeah there's a definite hint of these English guys are superior to American men especially on tumblr. Having lived in the UK, I'd like to reiterate that men are men and every country has its share of idiots. I haven't read the Hiddleston article on Mali but I did know about his UNICEF challenge and remember…

"colorblind white people": Why does everything have to be about race?! Can't we focus on the fact that this little girl made a huge accomplishment at such a young age? Who cares if she's "black"? I don't see race! The people who want race to be a focus in the movie are the real racists! The racism she faced doesn't…
