While I really didn't want Oberyn to die, his show-off moment at the beginning of the battle made me want him to lose an arm or leg or something like that. But what actually happened — ugh.

If you don't understand the peril in propagating model minority and other "positive" stereotypes ("Asians are smart," "Koreans are beautiful," "Blacks are athletic," etc.) it's not my job to educate you on such matters. Pick up a text from an introductory sociology course sometime.
There is absolutely a level of discrimination against fat people, but to start throwing the comparisons around to racial, gender, and sexual preference is intellectually dishonest. I mean, people who smoke or have tattoos face a level of discrimination socially or in terms of employment, but I don't hear anyone with…
"He decided he wanted to look Korean, because they are beautiful people."
Sorry, but "thin privilege" isn't in the same LEAGUE as being white, male, or straight. Don't even start.
4 of the 6 were actually women.

You're dead-on here. This is a knee-jerk article written to and reacted to by Westerners who have little knowledge of China or CoAG. Gender may have played a role in the woman being seen as a vulnerable target, but the overarching conclusions drawn here are predominantly poor.
"they're no better than the attackers."
To be perfectly honest, you're not particularly sharp if you just compared an examination based on arbitrary constructs like those in an IQ test to simple, definitive physical characteristics like blood cell density. You should probably educate yourself on the difference between subjective and objective metrics in…
The problem is that every Jezebel post has at least one commenter linking to this schmuck's cred-seeking piece: http://ericravenscraft.kinja.com/free-advice-fo…, which pretty much says, yeah, this isn't the time to talk about it.
On a similar note, of the people killed by this misogynistic asshole, 2/3 were men. While the Jezebel commentariat may vigorously stress that the dead men were simply collateral damage of the killer's anti-woman rage, that observation probably isn't much comfort to the families of the deceased.
Bingo — I would argue that it is actually far more corrosive than simple click-bait, and the people here defending it here by saying "She never implied a connection to the massacre" are full of shit. The passage in full from the article is
Well, Znarok IS supposedly an acquaintance of Lugovoi. On the bright side, so long as Gronborg avoids eating or drinking anything for the rest of his life he'll be okay.

Now now — it's important to be culturally sensitive to all the facets of religious dogma — we wouldn't want people to believe they have the capacity to break free of the brainwashing or anything...
If dogs would rise up and consume more human flesh then our problems with overpopulation would be greatly diminished.
And this thread is more proof that the average pit owner is an asshole who should be avoided like the plague. Well done.
Hit a nerve. Well done. Pits may not be the problem, but their asshole owners are, and if I don't know you I'm not going to trust you with a dog whose jaws exert enough pressure to break human bones.
