Yeah, and if you’re not close enough to contact them, you’re not close enough to bring a potential shitstorm of PTSD-inducing drama on their heads. This should be about them, not about OP’s feelings

I’m Mexican and Puerto Rican and stuff like this drives me up the wall. Literally by some people logic, it would be the equivalent of saying Ilhan Omar isn’t american because she doesn’t have “US blood”. It would be beyond controversial and rightly so. Then people would go on about how the US is a melting point and…

100% this. As an actual Latina woman of complete European descent, it is infuriating 50 times over to see Jezebel define what is and what isn’t Latin time and again. This kind of ridiculous definition gives grounding to the racist Argentines telling 3rd generation Chinese Argentinas to “go back home”. It also erases…

You can be white and be Latinx. There are millions, probably tens of millions or more, white Latinx people. Gisele Bundchen is Latinx, because she was born in Brazil, although she is of German descent I believe.

Except it’s nationality not race here. It’s what’s bothersome here that people keep calling her white as if there are no white persons here in Latin America. People keep talking as if they are races which is as offensive. To me it’s as offensive that people in the US are policing nationalities when it’s our…

Ok, except she was literally raised by Latinx people, in Latinx culture, and exposed to Latinx issues from a very early age. That’s what’s relevant. That she could pass for white or Latinx is irrelevant; many Latinx people can claim as much. Her genetic composition is irrelevant, and whether or not she’s the 100% biolo…

A lot of cancel culture is all about feeling morally superior by ending people, not in helping people grow. This bean dad thing is the best example because people are trying to cancel this girl’s dad supposedly to help her when it would be the worst thing for her and what she probably would like the least. Not that he…

I am 100% certain a lot of the story is either exaggerated or just plain made up. It is impossible for me to believe that the only thing in the house for the kid to eat was a can of beans. At 9, you can make a sandwich, you can pour a bowl of cereal and you can likely Google “how to open a can.”

Missing a meal for half a day does not harm you.

Her dad’s a tool, but abusive?

This beating up of Rowling is getting old. You go back to the original statement that caused this ruckus and its not a fraction as ‘offensive’ as the media’s retelling of the story implies. Is J.K. Rolling a 20-something suburban American hipster who struts around wearing being ‘woke’ on their sleeve? No she isn’t.

“the Squad is big”—and lucky for us it just got bigger.”

I agree.  Like, I get the frustration and even the disappointment.  But most of it still reeks of Gamer™ entitlement.  Most of these people feel they’re entitled to something, and when Nintendo doesn’t give them what they want, they do it anyway, then get surprised and angry when Nintendo puts an end to it. …

Just because someone has money that you dont have doesnt mean they deserve to get conned or stolen from.

She wasn’t just conning wealthy elites. She left many businesses with debts that went unpaid for months/years due to the cons she did. 

I fucking hate domain squatters. Asshole bottom feeders. I have a hard time seeing any difference between that and what this woman is doing — but then, I can’t feel bad for a fraternity, so I guess I don’t care which of these dicks wins.

LOL. Oh, she is definitely a grifter. 

“Hilaria” doesn’t even sound good *in Spanish*. It’s not a common name. It exists, technically, but it’s the kind of name some lady born on the early Franco dictatorship would get only because she was born on the feast of St. Hilario and the family couldn’t be bothered to think of a different name, not anyone born in…

Most of us who are multilingual end up remembering words in one language and forgetting it in the other on a regular basis.

They’ll likely enact some form of succession planning within the year, slowly introducing a younger sibling into the mix and spotlighting them increasingly so that the content pivot seems natural once Ryan’s balls drop and the acne sets in.
