I’m going to see it in January and am hoping for some celebrity sightings, though maybe everyone famous who wants to see it will have seen it by then.

What house is that? I’m going to guess Gryffindor or Ravenclaw.

I still think it’s hysterical that the guy who runs RedState.com grew up in fucking Dubai.

How about we just accept that different people just have different lives and relationships and priorities and cultural backgrounds and it’s difficult to generalize your particular circumstances to anyone else’s?

I think daily calls are excessive for some people but again, it really depends on the kind of relationship you have and the cultural expectations you grew up with. Like, I have a terrible relationship with my very abusive father, so I never talk to him but I talk to my mom and grandma every day and my brother, a few…

Yeah, I just think that’s basic manners. Or just tell your Mom why you’re ignoring her text messages. Why should polite behavior not be expected just because you’re interacting with a family member?

I don’t think you’re in the minority—I’m also from a different culture and I’ve come to appreciate that American culture is more about fostering independence and distance from your family of origin, rather than the more collectivist culture I come from. There are advantages and disadvantages, for sure.

Yeah, I call my parents every day too (though I’m from an Asian immigrant community, so cultural expectations of being an adult child are very different). I can’t imagine going two weeks without having any contact with them. I mean, I don’t go two weeks without having contact with my closest friends—why would I do…

“To women who have been assaulted and not believed despite evidence to the contrary, I am truly sorry for the trials you have gone through. I cannot imagine how it would feel, nor could I begin to piece together in my mind the steps required to make oneself whole again. Revenge, vindication, justice...all worth…

Zayn is a common Muslim name that’s usually written “Zain.”

They aren’t the ones who have the gasoline fight, right? It’s the dumb model roommates who all die.

They wouldn’t need to come here illegally. Practically all the Paris terrorists were European nationals. These are Westerners who are being radicalized. This kind of attitude, which ISIS can easily spin as Islamophobia (which it is) and a fundamental Western hostility to Muslims is why.

Is it legal to ban people from immigrating to the US based on religion?

I used to work at a preschool and preschool teachers are woefully underpaid because of this attitude, despite many of them having advanced degrees. So many people respond to “preschool teacher” with “that must be so much fun!” These people do incredibly emotionally demanding and stressful work that our society…

There are way, way fewer roles for black people and minorities generally than for white people and those roles that do exist tend to be less complex and more stereotypical and black and minority actors are discriminated against every step of the way. We don’t live in an equal world. Justice and fairness, when it comes…

The reasoning is such a facile and childish and context-free interpretation of the King quote. He sounds like someone who would describe himself as “color-blind.”

Even once Hamilton is licensed for high schools, there are going to be so many high school productions with all-white casts because theater kids tends to be white. It’s going to be weird because a good part of the meaning of the show is wrapped up in the race-bent casting.

Yeah, that sounds completely disgusting.
