Right, I understood that. That's what I was saying. Worn Journal, from my perspective, was not picking on black fashion with this video or the article they attached to it. That was just something that Jenna took away from their post. Unless their whole post is douche sarcasm and they're actually picking on the clothes.
Jenna actually chose to pick on the fashion because the video and the blog entry for it mention nothing about the clothes being ugly or in bad taste.
combining super-intellectual and loud-ass jewel tones.
Although I don't think it's a bad fashion trend at least Wayne and 2Chainz wore it the first time around. Beiber is copying the cyclical nature of fashion.
I'm always thrown when I remember that Jennifer Lopez was a Fly Girl with dark hair. I like how the end of the video kept focusing on her, like trying to get people to realize that was her.
It has been very fascinating how people here have just assumed that grunge was a cross cultural wave. Jenna posted this video and talked about how the clothes changed later to grunge, but didn't realize that everyone in the video (with the exception of a second of Woody Harrelson and the white fly girl) was either…
That's what I was wondering. I thought Europeans were the H.Sapiens/Neanderthal offspring. I thought this was common knowledge already.
I have nothing but affection for J.K. Rowling and I will probably be a Potter fan until death, but the "white until explicitly stated" trend of most white writers is a fault of the author. They are aware of how readers digest their work. If they always use ethnic names or races of characters to differentiate (like…
In the books the minority characters are usually given specific markers, if not outright ethnicity. That's why it's so easy for everyone to name them: Dean, Angelina, Kingsley, Parvati, Padma, Cho, and Blaise.
Zabini was explicitly stated as being a tall black boy. Rowling always describes her black characters explicitly by race because of the usual ambiguity of Western black people's names. Lee Jordan is the only one who is described by hair, although it was a pretty specific marker. The rest are tall and black—Dean,…
I remember the Zabini freak out. You'll still find people writing or drawing Blaise as an Italian guy. It's been almost 10 years.
I taught my second graders to do that to avoid making a mess and throwing away bottoms. They think I'm the most amazing person to ever live.
Every generation needs their R&J, although I'm pretty sure ours (Millennials) belongs to Generation X's Leo DiCaprio version. We have the traditional and interracial versions with "Romiette and Julio" and "West Side Story". Let whatever generation this is have their turn*.
Aubrey Plaza is at the top of my list of things I hate about Parks & Rec. Followed by April Ludgate and Mrs. Andy Dwyer.
She is Afro-Latina. You weren't wrong.
I had a doll like that once. I think it was a baby sitter Barbie that came with 3 babies, so you couldn't see the kids' arms because they were wrapped. I was not pleased when I pulled off that blanket. Damn you brown headed/white bodied baby.
Thank you. This drove me crazy when I was in grad school and was going back and forth with a prof. I've been taught since middle school that they/their can be used as singular gender-neutral/unknown. I thought everyone did it that way.
It was even cuter the other night when he tweeted for the Wolverines to win. C'mon, bub.
