White women performers are sometimes encouraged to wait for their first “IR” scene in order to land a lucrative, exclusive contract. The idea is that an interracial scene is a sort of taboo and part of a series of extreme acts, thus a white woman performer with a large fanbase can “hold out” and command a big…

But isn’t that also kinda perfect example of how these kinds of biases work their way in to the general consciousness? A bunch of well meaning white customers like you or I see Aunt Jemima and think “oh well that’s a neat way to honor a black pioneer....” and black people walk by it and think “JESUS CHRIST WHY IS THAT…

I think that’s Mrs. Butterworth’s.

The brand was created after WW2 in order to start selling rice to the general public after developping it and using it during the war. I don’t think it was created with racists intentions so much as being created to appeal to racists, which were, and are, well, a big market...

“As a global brand, we know we have a responsibility to take a stand in helping to put an end to racial bias and injustices,” a [Mars, Inc.] spokeswoman said in an emailed statement. “We recognize that one way we can do this is by evolving the Uncle Ben’s brand, including its visual brand identity.”

Spider-Man cosplayers will need a new tired joke.

Not Uncle Ben!

The only thing I’d suggest is that this line doesn’t strike me as correct: “Their first instinct was to react with fear...”.  I think rather, their first reaction was to act like they were in charge and that the person they were talking to was not their equal.

Can we take a moment to talk about dog park Karen’s “apology.” She knew what she was doing. Her excuse that she didn’t makes me hate her more. She doubled down, in her apology she’s trying to make herself the victim again. She’s earned everything that has come her way. And I’m tired of them bringing out out the tired…

I’m not saying this in support or opposition to any specific terms here, but I’m always confused by the guys who try to use etymology as a reason to keep using a word. Language changes, always and forever. Terms can develop new meanings, lose old ones, or change in a million other ways. Just that fact that you have to…

Nah don’t burn it. Scratch it out and call it a “Slave” degree.

Those guards were of poor quality and were probably looking for a bribe. I refuse to believe the cabbage guy has poor quality cabbages. 

They’re not on 24/7. They don’t even work 40 hours. This is not an exhausting way to live. They do nothing.

Teenagers of any generation push boundaries and do stupid sh stuff. What I’m wondering is why the grown ass parents who were with them (“my mom may have put chases jacket on”) not only didn’t tell their kids this was a bad and illegal idea, but also participated?

Cool, is there anything else you aren't doing today that you need to tell the world about?

The runner-up (to my mom) is also Dyson

Absolutely right!

Same. Then we can FINALLY compare apples to apples the way nature intended.

If I understand what you’re saying correctly, you’re prepared to believe that management at BA and Conde Naste are probably trying to hire only Ivy Leaguers because they genuinely believe it will lead to the creation of better content and a more prosperous and successful channel—but that they’re just wrong about this.

I love tonkatsu sandwiches. Ate too many when I last was in japan, always getting one at the end of the night on the way back to the hotel. I would sit in the hotel window and eat it along side an ice cold beer.
