Before people jump on me for using my (white) self as an example, I understand that it's not the same issue for me or those like me - I have the privilege of tanning and self-tanning, and the world doesn't discriminate against me or withhold opportunities based on my skin color, but the world also doesn't judge me for…

If someone wants to use skin whitening cream or any cosmetic, that's their prerogative. It's a nuanced and complicated cultural issue, for sure (just watched the documentary Dark Girls the other day and it was incredibly moving/sad), but here's the thing- lots of women alter themselves to achieve whatever the beauty…

Oh gimme a fucking break. I kicked that fucker out in 2000 fucking 9, for god's sake! Nobody is in any deep shit. Family law lawyer? *snorts derisively*

Years ago, when I was working at a small company, they hired a young guy to assist the three senior women in our department.

My ex-husband was...difficult, so put it mildly. But I believed that we loved each other, so it could all be worked out, right? WRONG. Turns out, he was a regular Craigslist perv who hooked up with strangers all throughout our marriage - both male and female, as long as they dressed female. This was shocking, to…

I didn't get that. He acted like anyone else who would walk in, both before and after I knew who he was.

The worst Celebrity interaction I had was high maintenance. Julia Roberts. I didn't recognize her, mostly because in person she looked like someone stretched silly putty over skeletor and then put it in a "Little…

o yeah baby, that weird hand thing makes me hot. Make sure you get the cali king; my bf was thinking he'd join- he's always wanted to bro down with you and thinks that gazing into your eyes as you both do me would be an awesome start

What about tomorrow?

Yeah these are just mean spirited and stupid pranks. There are situations where you really don't know how people will react...this is one of them.

This is horrifying!

I wouldn't say I feel insulted, but it bugs me when people joke about being in physical danger. Even something like a woman screaming like she's being attacked and then start to laugh when people look at her. I said 'fuck me, right' because I felt I would get jumped on for my opinion.

Uniform: Polo shirt, backwards BoSox cap, white Adidas shoes. Shamrock tat. That. Accent. ADDITION: Sweatshirt with Alma Mater that smells like yesterday's beer and Axe body spray.
Habitat: Dive bars. Fenway. Massive L-shaped couch in a white-walled apartment. ADDITION: BU dorms with obligatory Fight Club poster.
Hobbies…

I was pretty proud of the one I pulled off on my niche site. People are still believing it.

No, he was using Asians as a contrast in order to make fun of racism in another situation. It's not directly making fun of Asians, but it's "acceptable" because the feeling in American society is that Asians can be used as a contrast because they're not repressed or underserved.

How she was treated by the Huffpo was kind of gross..Having a white man talk over, interrupt and insult an asian woman while she tries to explain the problem with marginalizing and making fun of a asian people. I mean, it is pretty clear that OF COURSE this white dude understands everything a lot better than everyone…

....................ELLIPSES............

We can do both. At the same time. We have the technology.

So... while the hashtag was a bit over-the-top (and clearly designed to stir the pot), she has a legitimate point. Asians do get a lot of "good-natured" bullshit lobbed at them, and even when it's from someone like Colbert, they often get the "you're okay to make fun of because you're not oppressed!" treatment in…

My dream April Fools joke by Obama is during the last year of his term to act like he is going to paint the White House black. Get some painters out there with tarps and black paint and start painting a corner of the building. Then be like, "April Fools!" when people freak the fuck out.
