That's a given.

Two Words: Single Ladies

Purple Rain isn't even way more popular (today) than the other 17 classic Prince songs in regular heavy rotation at clubs and still on the radio. Purple Rain is Purple Rain because the film was OH SO AMAZING and had Prince. Purple Rain still has a whole life in addition to being a song. Almost no artist has a Purple…

That's where the problem lies with the whole speech. 'Those folks' ARE us, already, and they've been a part of the fight long before white women came to the forefront. Women can be both gay and of colour, so her lack of clarity comes off as very privileged and tone-deaf at the very least.

Yes, Asian men are privileged in many aspects of society, however, in this particular context, interracial dating, it's quite appropriate.

I think the point people are objecting to is her idea that -as a rich white movie star lady - she gets to define who is the "us" and what "we" (even if such a thing exists) stands for. Or even consider herself part of the oppressed. From where I am standing, though I do believe she is sympathetic - she is also…

Her premise for that call to arms is that white women have assisted in the fight for those other groups' equal rights, and historically, that's not even true. The feminist movement as a political force has been frequently charged with intersectional failures.

He has some sort of superpower of maximum affability. I just love him. I love his terrible 90's rap. I love his moonbat kids. I love him in Independence Day, a film in which human beings beat super-advanced invading aliens by punching them in the face and then HACKING THE MAINFRAME of their city-sized spaceship with a…

Yea I don't think we'd be able to handle it because we can both get very jealous. Plus we fight probably an unhealthy amount in general anyway. But hypothetically I am so into this idea. I just don't think I'd have the self control not to jump in on the action hahaha. I'm pretty jealous of you right now I can't lie.

You know those groups aren't mutually exclusive? Also, they're discussing interracial dating, so what she said makes sense in context.

I have such a blind spot when it comes to Will Smith, considering he's produced two annoying children he insists on forcing upon us AND he hasn't made a good movie in like a decade. He will always be amazing, to me.

It is so fucking weird the way celebrities get involved in comforting depressed or suicidal fans. I don't even necessarily think it's the various celebrities' fault; it seems like it's become kind of a Thing to reach out to your favorite beloved celebrity for help on Instagram, and what are they going to do, NOT…

Man, a serious issue with naming your kids versions of your own name is that I saw this headline and thought, "Groooooss, Jaden gets off on seeing his dad in movies? Or is it the daughter they named Jada? Oh, no, wait, it's his wife. OK, that's fine then. Carry on."

Or, if like Name of the Rose, a crazed monk observes them believing fun is Satanic and kills the playful friars off one by one. As we investigate, we learn of their secret passions and yearning behind the seemingly innocent snowballs.

My sister! I feel you on so much of this. I'm also first-generation; my mom never completed high school and my dad was an enlisted Marine. We were working class, then middle class, and now my husband and I are probably upper middle. We definitely find ourselves not fitting in too cleanly. We never studied abroad.…

The class rankings within an "ethnic group" are astonishing to someone outside it. (Who is fully aware of her white privilege.) It's like watching history battle itself.

Promiscuous? Now when a woman talks about fucking her husband she's promiscuous?! Wow, women really are just not allowed to be sexual ever, huh.

OH RIGHT because sexuality has never been an important component in pop or rock music before Beyonce burst onto the scene to slut it up. Elvis? The Rolling Stones? Madonna? Get a fucking clue dude...

The fashion police are as racist as the regular police.

Reading the Gawker comments, it seems like a big problem with this is that, somehow, white people associate dreads with white people. Which...wow.
