I have to nitpick here, the available doctor was called brown not black, and part of the rant was about English. So we are likely looking at Indian or Middle Eastern.

Most problematic was the unusual control that the author,

If you’re a white person, and you’re not a professor of linguistics giving a seminar on the history of racial epithets to postgrads, stop it. Stop it now. Whatever the situation, even in “irony” [and from your perspective without malice], you’ve radically misjudged the mood. Stop it.

But you have to look on a case-by-case basis at who has the power and whose suffering is being represented? Art that negatively depicts police is usually being done by those being negatively impacted by the action/power of the police, not police themselves. The artists’ intention is usually to express their own…

I’m not ready to give the Walker kudos. As a local who loves the sculpture garden & the Walker, under normal circumstances, this has given me serious pause. Yes, art is intended to create dialogue and conversation, but the Walker’s director could have easily had conversations with Mdewakanton Sioux before this was…

One thing I feel like is missing from these comments and the article. Is that the sculpture was pushed as “part playground.” Can you imagine installing a replica of a Nazi crematorium in the same way and not consulting any Jewish groups?

Damn, Daniel back at it again with the white privilege.

Water is just clear. Grass is green might’ve worked better.

I’m HOH, so much that living in the hearing world is so difficult sometimes that I don’t want to get out of bed. I was mainstreamed to read lips only. No sign. Thanks parents and teachers! I was raised to please your hearing world. I am sitting here with tears streaming down my eyes right now reading some of the…

Nobody thinks that the ad is meant to reflect Nivea’s dreams of a white supremacist utopia. But the idea of white representing purity, contrasted to black representing corruption and evil, absolutely has racist roots. “White is purity” echoes that sentiment. Even though I’m sure Nivea’s ad was not intended as a racial…

I mean, yeah, if you have one minority in the whole show and they’re a walking stereotype, sure. But a lot of shows have flawed minority characters that don’t inspire a rage on Twitter. It’s as simple as just writing a good character without writing them first and foremost around their statuses as minorities.. Credit…

I would like to provide another friendly reminder to everyone here that major brands pulling their ads off Youtube are not a violation of any YouTubers’ free speech. This is because only the government is prevented from restricting free speech. To say that businesses are violating the free speech of bigots by pulling…

Rumor has it the cheerleaders were also part of a pyramid scheme.

Kjlberg put that Fritz tweet as his banner picture because clearly he’s a stable and mature young man who understands the nuances of racial humor and not just another in the long line of emotionally stunted white baby men unable to handle the slightest bit of criticism.

Yeah...no. Black Brits have varying accents, just like everybody else there.

The Katy Perry comment doesn’t make her look like kind of an asshole, it makes her look like a completely ignorant, bullying asshole.

The repeated erasure of actual POC from depictions of their culture is racist. And I don’t understand parsing words in that way. A system of racial oppression can absolutely be referred to as racism. The same way a system of oppressing an entire gender is sexism.

So a dude with more money than most people see in their lives chose to take advantage of economically-disadvantaged individuals for the sake of some anti-Semitic “humor,” and is now surprised that there are consequences that go with that kind of behavior.

Got it.

Having read some of the comments on the previous article…

Trudeau is a refreshing change from our previous Prime Minister Harper in many, many ways, but he is a politician, first and foremost. What that means is that regardless of his personal or stated positions on anything, he has to make concessions to certain political realities.
