Actually they did and Asian people did experience so much racism especially in Canada.

If you think that sitting next to someone that might have traveled to Liberia will cause you to the contract Ebola, you are an "overly hyped Ebola nut".

The problem is that people treat Africa like a monolith. There is no difference between "West Africa" and "Africa" to some people. You could say, "I just came back from Kenya!" and people would be freaking the hell out even though Kenya is an East African country.

Oh, they were crying apocalypse then, we just have forgotten about it.

You remind me of the guy from Russell Howard with his ebola ass spaghetti. You ain't gonna catch ebola sitting in a restaurant. Are you avoiding all your Liberian friends too? Avoiding going out in public in case you meet a Liberian? No. Jesus.

Did you seriously just do the "A lot of my friends are X" thing?

Remember a while ago when there was the SARS outbreak? Newsflash: SARS is roughly a gazillion times* more contagious than Ebola, and nobody was crying apocalypse then.

This is tough. I'd find dog 2 a new home. My neighbors had 2 dogs that fought intermittently - they would be fine for a couple months, then a total bloodbath that always ended up with stitches and wound drains. I don't think I'd want to live on tenterhooks like that.

I think people get confused when it comes to different levels of privilege and how these manifest themselves in different communities. So...this guy looks down on Indian people and white people look down on both of them and in an institutional fashion, and people aren't really familiar with nuance so they only see the…

I know, I know. I'm just extra furious with humans because I work in healthcare (med student going into Ob/gyn) and I'm one of the people who sees the consequence of all of this utter shittyness first hand.

Have you ever met people? They are, by and large, the worst.

Why are people so bent on celebrating suffering this year? Domestic violence, pandemic disease and death (where thousands of people have died and thousands more inevitably will), racism?

I don't think anyone on here would disagree that minorities are sometimes racist towards other minorities. A lot of the time it seems like everyone hates everyone else, and white people are just the ones with the organized power structure in place to back up those attitudes on a grand, oppressive scale.

Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.

"Jeez, lighten up, Janay Rice. You just don't get it. See, it's funny because it didn't happen to ME."

Her marrying her abuser doesn't make it totally cool to make fun of her trauma. They made a fucking costume out of a horrific ordeal. But don't let compassion stand in the way of blaming the victim and letting the asshole in the costume off the hook.

I just don't get it. It's like they don't understand humor, or costumes. How do you grow up and not understand that some dude beating up his wife is not a good Halloween costume? Because it was in the news, you should costume it? You wouldn't dress up in a "violent husband" costume, so why would you do this? It's not…

My dingbat sister-in-law (who has a long history of dingbattery) proudly proclaimed that she and her husband (who also happens to be a big-headed, chauvinistic asshole) were going as Ray Rice and wife for Halloween (they're big Ravens fans). With a great deal of restraint, I told her about two friends of mine who had…

This is one of the reasons why I've lost the Halloween spirit over the years. Anything is fair game no matter how offensive it is, and if you point out the offensiveness of it, you're condemned for not having a sense of humor and being politically correct. Basic human decency hardy has any value anymore.
