UGH my boyfriend's younger brother does this and it bothers me so much.

I have the same phone and average lady-hands and the only thing I can't do is get the thumb I'm gripping the phone with it is get to the button q or a button with my thumb without shifting it in my hand.

That's irrelevant unless you know the death rate of people at their former weight within the same time period.

Assuming you're more likely to conceive the healthier you are, did they control for income? Higher income correlates with better health, and not at a threshold level but actually step for step. And we obviously know income correlates with race. Frankly I think health and race have a correlation even controlling for…

Dunno. She asked about the accusations, I gave a reason. If you think that's NBD that's on you.

Jesus Christ people stop. Not having an internet (which I didn't until 2006) does not make this not racist. Not knowing this is racist does not make it not racist. Stop trying to justify this. I get this was written in a different time. A more racist time.

No I'm not saying racism is worse than sexism what in the world makes you think I'm saying that? I'm a latina so I experience plenty of both. I'm saying a Japanese woman has no right to use that word and co-opt the black experience. It doesn't matter if she's oppressed as a woman, if she does this she is racist.…

I didn't say appropriation is always racist, nor did I give it as the sole reason this example was racist.

Racial insensitivity is a type of racism, I'm not confused,

Intent doesn't matter. A Japanese woman and white man appropriating the black experience and using such charged language is racist. Not meaning to be racist is not enough to not be racist.

She and John Lennon wrote a song called "Woman is the N***er of the World."

Yes, but there are many more black women in the US than Asian women, it makes the omission more glaring.

I've been starring your posts but it doesn't feel like enough. I want to put your words up on billboards. You are the best.

I think that was Ari's point though. The words of many of his songs are vile, but he is musically gifted so it's sad on multiple levels.

I don't what? Know if Zimmerman is a Republican? Know racist Democrats with guns? Are you going to make a fool of yourself and assume I support Zimmerman and am a conservative? Because stop. I'm not a Democrat but I sure as hell am not a Republican, both parties are way too conservative for me and, as a latina, I know…

Well I do my readings on it, I take notes on it, I can do some lite research on it, and there are apps for the blackboard system (what lots of schools use for course websites. It's lighter than a laptop and cheaper than most laptops so losing it/getting it stolen isn't as much of a hit to my finances.

My make up is probably the cheapest thing I have in my purse. All my expensive stuff is unisex, like electronics.

I'm a student and I keep my tablet with me even when I'm not headed for school or on the way back because you never know when you might get a chance to study.

Average lady or their average customer? I'm a grad student, if I put my phone in my bag it and my tablet alone have a combined retail value of about $1000 when new. This study doesn't seem crazy fore middle or upper class women.

Students? Those that use iPads to work?
