The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

The wrong idea that you were a film student?

All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

I agree. I remember seeing Michaelangelo's David, and having a friend criticize it because the sculpture is not circumcised. Fair point, and maybe it reflects cultural insensitivity of the time. But that fact doesn't take away from the fact that it's a Renaissance masterpiece.

And aren't semetic people considered "Caucasian"?

Yes. Most of these are abhorrently racist. But some are questionable. Like all the biblical characters—cultures have interpreted religious figures in their own race. Look at black Jesus in ancient Ethiopia. Or Chinese Buddha. If you cut out religious figures, this clip is much shorter.

Line dancing is pretty close to square dancing, which is a derivative of wholesome community dances that puritans had for exercise and keeping down the urges.

Don't forget the skanking/third wave ska trend from 1995-97 which gave birth to the swing trend.

Cut Nat Turner some slack. It was the 1800s. Comanche Indians raped and murdered settlers in Texas, including women and children. White settlers massacred Indians including children. Warfare was brutal. It was a brutal era. Consider the context.

No, it's not. I really loved the Colbert Report, but I don't find the Late Show very funny. Colbert has not really developed his own comedic voice (aside from his TCR character). He is having difficulty mixing humor and biting criticism, and as a result comes off as preachy.

Most of the posts seem to be yearning for color-blindedness, which is actually counter to diversity and ignores reality.

At least when it comes to university admission, Asians get the short end of the affirmative action stick. If Harvard can discriminate against Asians, why not the Academy?

I'd love to see these studies. "Better employees" means? What do you mean by "quality of the workforce"?

Wouldn't any character played by a black actor be a black character? Even if the plot has nothing to do with race, the actor's race would impact the performance and interpretation thereof. A black Spider-Man would have a different experience than a white one, right? I think you are pining for a post-racial society,…

I am interested in seeing her standup. I bet her comedy is much better suited for that medium. Her material sinks on SNL.

Think you are looking for the term SJW. Other than that, no concerns.

Phoning it in again, Internet?

Nice summary. This was a sloppy game.

"…gay, mentally and physically disabled, woman of color [who was a victim of the Holocaust]."

I just started reading it…so far it is really well written.
