Adrian Toomes himself (played with smoldering fury by Michael Keaton) is most definitely a “regular blue-collar” white guy, who the film makes a point of showing “isn’t very PC.”

Ninja’d. Ducking autocorrect.

Damnit, Kinja Ninja’s.

Maybe it has something to do with the full-screen popup mobile ad that has been showing up incessantly for the last few days.

My pale European blend of paleness wife and I, a Sri Lankan guy, are thrilled every time we see an interracial couple in the media. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Cheerios commercial or an episode of Happy Endings or Sense8 or Firefly, it’s good to see some kind of reflection of us, even if it’s not a perfect reflection.

That blog has had several incarnations, but is currently “Off the Menu” at Wonkette.

They should have sent a governor.

I’m seeing some excuses and a lot of attempts at mitigation, including in word choice. “Inappropriate” behavior is flip-flops in the office. I prefer to keep that term to situations that couldn’t possibly lead down a road toward criminal charges.

So if black people manage to get that number down to parity with the white-on-white stat, you’ll stop being a racist douchenozzle? Might be worth trying.

>Thing is, if there is a reduction in black on black crime, it will help to remove the prejudice the police have, which should also translate into fewer police shootings.<

0% for that statistic would mean that blacks are only victimized by other races.

This discussion always confuses me. The FBI crime stats show that in about 92% of cases in which the victim is black, the perpetrator’s race — if known — is black. So in your mind, if this is wrong, what would the ideal percentage be?

Plus the trope is cleverly subverted with the trampling of those glasses in the alley fight.

Oh, you mean Lone Wolf McMental? Nothing to see here, obviously.

Yes! All nerds with self respect must think as you do, so nerds who don’t must lack self respect! Damn, I loathe myself so much. Thanks for the reminder!

But — and I am only saying this because I care — there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.

That’s not really necessary. And while I suggested that you might need to be a nerd of a certain age to like the show, I didn’t say that all nerds of a certain age have to like the show. Set theory, nerd.

I watch BBT, and I actually enjoy it.
