No actually it's not. Colorism and horizontal discrimination within races is a huge deal. Both within the African American community (and I am assuming other black communities as well) and many Asian communities and cultures. A white person that does not tan might receive an occasional "Oh God, you're so pale, you…

My girlfriend worked as a server for a long time and got her fair share of ... suitors. I don't believe anyone actually touched her, (I would raise hell and I hope she would, too) but plenty of men have tried to ask her out/get her number/flirt shamelessly. Now she's a mortician and it still happens to her almost…

The only acceptable response other than getting his ass fired would be for one of the employees (ideally male for comedic value) to walk gingerly up to him, tap his belt buckle a few times, then stand there expectantly.

Back in my day we used to sneak out of the house late at night and meet up in a graveyard or playground to have sex and smoke cloves. Good times. Anyway, we were goth as fuck but would have laughed our asses off at anyone using the word "vamping" to describe staying up all night.

Ugh. It is too early in the morning and I have not had enough coffee to explain colorism to all you people who think this isn't problematic.

No this is not new. I graduated from high school 20 years ago, except instead of texting we'd go to the all night diner and drink coffee, then drive around and smoke weed.

My biggest problem in those pre-laptop days was sneaking into the computer room without my folks noticing and remembering to mute the speakers so that the tortured screams of the login process wouldn't wake them up.

And what of people who work the graveyard shift? Are we not vamps?

I remember when this was vamping.

This is new? I used to do this when I was in HS (and I graduated nine years ago), except instead of texting it would be late night AIM chats and the such. Best time to use dial-up, obvi, since no one is gonna call at 2am.

I know plenty of old people who aren't bigots. This is not an excuse we should be using anymore. This is a shitty fucking excuse and lazy as hell. We as humans INCLUDING OLDER PEOPLE are better than this shit.

This is me with the Kushiel's Dart trilogy. "There's like...a lot of sex...and it's kinky...but it's vital to the story...but there's a lot of it...and it's not just m/f...but they're just so good, I promise!"

I was working for a shop that sold unique, one of a kind jewelry. On this occasion a man walked in with a woman and explained they'd just gotten engaged and wanted engagement rings.

Ha! Yeah, that Whiskeysaurus will getcha! Watch out for the Ptequiladactyl too!

When I was 15, I had a friend's uncle (who was covered in nazi/white power tattoos) loudly proclaim his appreciation for my "fuck me legs" during breakfast after a sleepover for my friend's birthday. I overheard him later asking my friend if I was single and how he wanted her to tell me that he "didn't really believe…

I was hanging out at pool party at a hotel in Los Angeles and happened to be by myself, as I was the first of my friends to arrive. (I wasn't alone at a pool - this was a big public pool party, just the first of my group to be there). A guy sidles up to me and starts chatting to me. It's friendly, I mention I'm…

There used to be this homeless guy who would sit on the corner of the street near my office, and I would pass him every day on my way to Starbucks. I would never give him any money, but I would always greet him and talk to him for a little bit. I briefly took up smoking again due to very high stress and when I quit, I…

I was once lost in Queens (aged 20) and scared and upset, as I'd been repeatedly sexually harassed that day (aside from some extremely aggressive catcalling on the street, I'd jumped off the subway a stop early after an older Indian businessman sat down beside me, put his hand on my thigh, and told me he wanted to…
