By that logic all oppressed minority groups would empathize with all other oppressed minority groups, and historically that certainly hasn't been the case.

Yeah, I'm sure there's a cohort of Jezzies that aren't so great at handling their white privilege. Pretty much anywhere you go where there are white people, there are going to be some white people who are particularly bad a dealing with their privilege. That's not a surprise.

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE WHITE PEOPLE.

Yes, please tell me more about that false equivalence.

The resulting Lindy screed should be quite epic.

Most people I know would consider a 50 pounds weight gain a "disfigurement", even though it's not the appropriate medical term, or at least something that needs to be fixed. I know a lot of writers on this website do their best to pretend obesity isn't a problem but seriously, when did we go from "people deserve…

The most dragonlady-esque picture for this, a coverage on an Asian American woman. Why is it that the few times Asian women show up on this site, it's usually of this ilk? This or the patronizing and reductive pieces on plastic surgery? Your whitegirl is showing.

Brands do all sorts of things to make their things seem exclusive, not just clothing. Take Cristal, for example. In around 2006, Frédéric Rouzaud, the president of Champagne Louis Roederer, was asked by the Economist if its being associated with hip-hop could damage its brand. He said yes, but there was nothing he…

Did you not read the last paragraph of my comment? I pointed out many of the same differences between Canada and the US that you did. But you should know that Canada's poverty rate really isn't that much lower than the US's... and was for a time in the 90s and early 2000s, notably higher...and their obesity rate still…

This is so wrong. We shouldn't be enabling fat America by giving them this. I'm sorry if you are fat and this offends you, but I honestly respect a person less if they are overweight. I know the facts, and its a tiny portion of people who have genetic issues making it impossible for them to lose weight, while the…

They said during the conference that Gaikai would provide PS3 game support, and that it'll start rolling out on the PS3 and PS4 in 2014, with the Vita to come later. No word on exact dates or price.

Check your privilege, CIS scum.

Yes, unlike the stunning display of natural, unaltered beauty and diversity that is the Miss America pageant.

Thankfully the Miss USA contest is a paragon of diversity with its tall, slender, whitened smiles, longhaired, contestants.

Oh look another pro-Israel fluff piece by a spine-less Gawker 'journalist'.

"Oh sure, kill all the Palestinian kids you want but no underwear selfies please"

I live in America, but I'll be good and god damned if I'm even caught dead in either one.

I can no longer hear the term "check your privilege" without immediately thinking of the White Feminist Twitter account.

"No, it is colonialism. Having a bunch of white women telling women of color what to do will never work. PoC, especially WoC, do not like it. Get used to it. I (and many, many others) hate having to hear how FEMEN, IGLA, et al represent everyone when they are exclusionary groups that promulgate Western racism towards…

I agree with this completely. For that matter, I think it's disgusting when I see WoC dating white men and reinforcing white privilege.
