I find it interesting how interracial dating can be protested by my family depending on the person's race. My father's family is Native American, but most of them have ended up with White people, but when my cousin was dating a black man everyone had a huge issue. Oddly, my father prefers that I date black men over…

I'm not sure. The stuff we studied discussed how African immigrants have very healthy babies when only in the US for a few years, but that the longer they are here the more likely they are to have an underweight baby.

I studied that in my medical anthropology class! What fascinated me the most was that the chance of having a child with a low-birth weight for Black immigrants rose with time in the US, and that the rate did not lower with socioeconomic status, but rather got higher due to increased racism in White-dominated fields.…

I buy bras and underwear all the time. I think I must have 20 bras by now, and at least 40 pairs of underwear, if not more.

There's a lot of evidence linking being in an extremely clean environment as a baby to food allergies and eczema. I definitely do think that the prevalence of antibacterial cleaning products to constantly wipe down children's areas supports that. I can't find the original article I read, but here's one that briefly…

My hair is like that, too! I have stick-straight thick hair, and I only shampoo every-other day because I've heard it's better for my scalp, but that means I have to have my hair tied up one day or else I look disgusting.

I generally shower daily because I usually workout daily. But on my off day I often skip my shower just because I don't feel dirty. It's all a matter of preference, but please, for the sake of all of us, shower (or at least wipe down) after exercising!

Why can't Jezebel post an article about health without being facetious and childishly flippant? I understand that people can be ridiculous about weight, but I don't think you guys need to make every post discussing weight be so flippant. :/

This is Jamie Foxx's daughter. She is drop-dead gorgeous.

Kendrick Lamar makes lots of statements in his rap, mostly about poverty and the experience of being a Black man in society. I recommend you look into his music before saying he has nothing to do with "making statements with his art".

Until I had sex for the first time I used to be terrified that I was pregnant anytime my period was late, and that it meant someone was abusing me in my sleep. I was fucking terrified of having to explain it to my family and trying to figure out what had happened.

I worry about that every time I babysit!

I need this in my closet.

Katy Perry also hosted a party in which everyone dressed up as Natives, so she clearly doesn't understand appropriation.

Ughh I hate how fluffy most of these are! I thought fashion had finally embraced the natural curves of the body. :(

Personally I don't think there are issues with wearing something vaguely inspired by a culture other than your own. I'm half Mohawk and I have no issues seeing prints inspired by various traditional Native patterns, but I don't like when they call them "tribal". I think it's fine to be inspired by a culture, just not…

I was before I had sex, but once I did I realized it didn't matter at all.

Thank you!! I'll pass this on! It seemed sketchy to me, so I'm glad to hear this.

Why does she look so tiny?? I mean, I know she's skinny, but she looks like a child against a giant or something...

I've been fortunate enough to never have to take Plan B, but many of my friends have. Does anyone know if there's truth to the idea that if you take it more than 3 times in your life you will have fertility problems later on? A few of my friends have already had to take it 3 times and now talk about how they can't…
