USE YOUR FUCKING TURN SIGNAL. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE.

Red at a wedding is traditional in much of India- usually with lots of pretty, sparkly metallic accents. I think it's white at funerals. From my (admittedly brief) Google search, it seems that one doesn't wear red to Chinese weddings for the same reason you don't wear white to a traditional American one (you're…

Or trying to place an order at a restaurant. FUCKING HATE IT. I'm going to ask you about bread choices and salad dressings, and you're going to act annoyed that I'm interrupting your very-important conversation to ask you apparently inane questions and no one will be happy. If you have the decency to step outside, I…

How is "playing music super-loud on shitty phone speakers on public transit" not a part of this survey? This bugs me more than escalator-blocking (and escalator-blocking is SUPER ANNOYING). I once lived in a city where the escalators had goddamn INSTRUCTIONAL SIGNAGE and the tourists still couldn't figure it out (with…

Wait, what? That version of Into the Woods sounds absolutely bonkers.

Best stag/stagette I ever went to was the bride, groom and entirety of both families getting wasted and singing karaoke. I'm a simple girl.

You get a star for the phrase "Lindy's Veela groceries."

If by "weird" you mean AMAZING, then yes. It would be like all my favorite guilty-pleasure reality shows rolled into one SUPER REALITY SHOW. MAKE IT SO.

TELL US MOAR. (please?)

A BOTTLE OF WINE IS BIGGER THAN MY STOMACH??

You are causing me to re-evaluate my life choices, Internet Person.

"Trenta" is a size!?! D:

Okay, explain to me how a Black Power salute, if someone is actually passionate the cause (which I believe she is) is shit-stirring. I mean, yeah, she is a teenager and you're right, was probably trying to stir a reaction with the second photo. But I still don't understand how the first photo is a problem.

I hope your last sentence is true. She seems clever, if a little impulsive (and who wasn't at 18?). FOX will probably put her on blast for a little while (which will SUCK), but maybe she can get a blogging gig at Black Girl Dangerous during college and eventually use the shaky platform she's started building here for…

She was elected by the student body. I guess neither of us really know how much support she has left in the school, or whether it's some prominent *cough*donor parents*cough* students who called for her to resign.

You called both of her photos "shit-stirring." That's why I asked what about it was offensive. The first photo set off this chain of events. If your opinion is that she should've apologized for the first photo and played nice regardless of the content, regardless of the racism just simmering under the complaints about…

I sort of get what you're saying, but they still represent they fraternal organizations, which presumably wouldn't want to be associated with racist content. A frat member that was deemed an embarrassment for any reason could be asked to give up their position in the frat. A frat member in a racist costume almost…

I admit, I can be an unapologetic moral relativist at times, because I think Kant was an asshole.

I also think we see events in a profoundly different way. What about her first photo was offensive at all? It was her and some of her classmates giving the Black Power salute. From Wikipedia:

"'Black Power' expresses a…

No, members of these organizations represent their specific fraternity or sorority. What?

It's rampant enough that the student body knew exactly who she was talking about. It's pervasive enough that it's a recognized archetype within the school's subculture. So, no, #notallwhiteprepschoolboys or whatever, but there's enough of it going on that it was open for mockery. Making fun of that stereotype wouldn't…
