Unlike in modern times, the possessive form of “ladies” USED to have an apostrophe in 1914! The ensuing decades apparently rubbed the apostrophe off.

Ahh, the good ol days, back when you would “dress for dinner”, take carriage rides, be raped by your husband and have zero rights under the law... *nostalgia*

I have this problem. Especially when I’m nervous. Which is why I end up playing with something on the table, like a pen.

#1 is such BS. I’ve known scads of full-blown, lying sacks of shit that can look you in the eye, no problem.

That’s almost certainly true; my male friends tell me I have a frightening “Fuck off & die.” expression when men approach me in bars.

Lol, the funny thing is that it isn’t. We have never had slavery beacuse we never had colonies. Our word “néger” which sounds like your N-word is a completely neutral and commonly used word. Blackface racism is also not a thing here. But of course every culture must be interpreted by the american point-of-view :P

Eastern Europe, Hungary in particular, is very oblivious to its own racism and how to treat other cultures (part of why there was this big drama of refugees at Budapest station this summer, or why Hungary was the first country to close its borders). I honestly believe this woman wants to do something meaningful in…

There’s actually few POC in Hungary as opposed to the states so I find it less surprising she’s not as well versed in race relations. America might think it’s the center of the universe but it really isn’t and everyone isn’t versed in the racist past of Hollywood to know why blackface is offensive.

I lived in Budapest for a few years, and I found racism to be fairly prevalent. Most was directed at the Roma population (many Hungarians with a ‘gypsy’ heritage change names or mask their family history in ways that remind me of black people who tried to pass as white), but black people are often called the n-word. I…

well, hungarians are mostly ignorant when it comes to people of color. see, once a black guy walked down the street in my village, and my mom was so excited she talked about this for three weeks. the one african lecturer at my university was constantly mocked and made fun of, which was considered harmless by everyone,…

“Cloaking one’s self in another’s culture, image, likeness for purposes of entertainment is not ever something to be celebrated.”

This is a terrible article.

I’m sure this woman has no idea she’s being racist. I personally didn’t know blackface was bad until I read about it on American websites.

Why is this not the top comment? Oh right because it’s Jezebel and laughing at other’s ignorance is the most important thing.

Look, it’s complicated. There are two competing categorical imperatives here:

Could we have an actual discussion, maybe? Wouldn’t it be more helpful to explain to people who might not understand how this is not an appropriate way to draw attention to a worthy topic? Instead of mocking and condemning dogmatically, could we explore the ways that this cause could be better served, and educate one…

She already HAD a walk-in closet and it just wasn’t good enough. Brat.

Carrie was terrible to everyone. Charlotte should have dropped her after Carrie guilt tripped her into loaning her the money to buy out Aiden. It is not her friend’s fault that Carrie failed to save any money.

Yes, Carrie is a totally self-absorbed garbage human, and she had the whole world snowed for many years.

Carrie wanted a walk in closet and Mr. Big gave her one
