It was horrible. I'm not British but lived there for just under a decade (including when this happened) and, like you, I am 'not white'. I remember being hugely annoyed that Ofcom was getting so many complaints and people demanding it be taken off the air. For me, it was a perfect little microcosm of the current…

Agree 100%. The whole story of her life (her initial rise to fame, her downfall on Celeb BB, and her highly sensationalized and documented death) is pretty crazy.

So, this is totally not the first time this has happened! "Race Rows" made for a very interesting season of CELEBRITY Big Brother UK in 2007. B-list celebrities (including Jo from S Club 7!) racially bullied the crap out of Bollywood star, Shilpa Shetty (whose only friend in the house was Jermaine Jackson who would…

This website is crash-city! Who will I send my death threat letters to NOW?

Un-realted follow-up: I geuinely love your Burner ID name.

Are you serious? Do you really think that "those of us who have to live with discrimination" want the conversation to ALWAYS be dragged into sadness? I'm not pretending that our world isn't hugely unjust in it's attitudes towards gay rights but I also don't think we always have to default to lamenting what a tragedy…

I'm siding with prissypruss if only because Fishnets' original comment was such a bummer on an otherwise completely positive and fun story. Sorry, Fishnets but what was the point of jumping right in with a "ALL I CAN THINK OF IS POOR GAYS GET BEAT UP ALL THE TIME!"? The rest of us are taking five minutes out from our…

What a politely phrased question! I think your personal trainer is half right - a vegan diet DOES need to be planned to make sure it's nutritionally sound but that applies just as much to ANYONE'S diet (including meaty ones).
I was vegetarian for a year before I went vegan 3 years ago. It was a bit of a challenge for…

Is it weird that I like it raw? I always slice a bit of the end while I'm cooking to eat for funsies while I'm frying the rest...

I recognized that name right away too. This comment makes me feel ashamed for even responding yesterday..

MIXED CHICKS is the BEST. Don't let your daughter be like me and not figure this stuff out when she's in her 20s. BIRACIALHAIR.ORG is also SUPER HELPFUL!

Your THREE YEAR OLD? AWFUL. Every time I witness that shit (or have the occasional pleasure of having it directed at me) I lose faith in humankind.

A special kind of person who doesn't see life-ruining public shaming as a fair treatment for ruining a person's day/week

I have a thick skin, and have been treated worse. So I can't really understand your mentality.

Quite literally the worst thing I've ever seen on this website. Maybe even the internet. I despair for our world.

You should write a letter of complaint to the Disney store because you're right: that woman does not deserve to be employed.

YAY!!!

Seconded! Milk is one of the shittiest ways going to get healthy bones and the fact that we're still pushing it so hard on kids/families as a 'healthy' option makes me despair.

I like this translation better because it lets me believe this ISN'T staged as many (including my vegan boyfriend) are now suspecting...
