I liked 'even her jewellery isn't feminine!'

I kind of love ("love" as in hate with the fires of a million hells) how he makes no bones about how petty he is. Seriously, his later life seems like one long petty vendetta against perceived slights, which he blatantly states affects what's supposed to be his objective jurisprudence. Way to live up to the role,…

Say what you want about Scalia, but before the past 5 years or so, at least he was philosophically honest. Thomas was just a lazy shitbag. He still is. Scalia may have gotten philosophically crazy with age, but we can look back on his older rulings and be like, "well, at least he's honest..." We never had that with…

Nazgulicorns. Evil, yet glittering white and generally not attainable by any but the most WASPish motherfuckers on Earth.

Jesus, just when I thought she had gone away.

Really though, in an article warning against not giving the disadvantaged a leg-up, you are discussing the punchability of a woman's face?

Fuck her... She couldn't even be bothered to work hard enough to get into the school she wanted, but she thought she somehow "deserved" it simply for being born.

I just want to add that while I totally agree that Fisher needs a serious reality check re: how life works, I do want to point out this case, and the driving force behind it, are so much bigger than her.

Statistically, white women are the biggest recipients of affirmative action benefits. It's what allows one white woman to go to college to learn how to write condescending, ironic articles directed at chastising white women for feeling entitled to AA.

Asians don't bleach their skin to be more Caucasian. They do it to be more pale. This is true in India, in China, and in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand and the Philippines. I know that in China, certain white women are complimented because they have the features that Chinese people have held up as the ideal…

There's something really self-centred about westerners wringing their hands about how people from other ethnicities 'just want to look like us'.

No, no. It's more complicated than this, and Korean people do not want to look "Western." That's not what they say when you ask them, and that's not what the end result looks like. Even in African countries where colonialism clearly had an influence skin lightening is not as simple as wanting to look white. I'm…

I think there's something racist in the assumption that all Asian people want to be Caucasian.

"Almost the entirety of the non-white world is plagued with the never-ending desire to appear as "western" as possible. Whether that means whitening creams in India..."

Jezebel really needs to stop running these articles or start cross-posting articles on the subject written by people with some better information and perspective.

What is this, the 8th time Jezebel has run this article?

Once again Jezebel writers have proven that they don't know jack about the subjects they are writing about. The majority of Asian women do not do these treatments and surgeries to "become more western" they do them because of cultural traditions, for example white skin in Asia is seen as a sign of wealth and royalty…

Oh joy.

Yeah, this. Seems a bit presumptuous to assume wanting lighter skin means you want to look Western. What you said about history plus there are some very fair people in east Asia and some darker people in Europe. Maybe people in India who lighten their skin want to look Japanese? (Not really, but you get the point).

Thanks for posting this. I wish there was something like this for the 'non-hot' girls out there, too. All of our "advice" just centers on makeovers, really. And doesn't that just reinforce the stereotype that men are just shallow and want nothing to do with a girl that's not cute?
