While all three of those people are very much from where they are from, that's hardly the problem with them.

I'm reluctant to say anything given the silliness of the whole subject, but Cleopatra actually was "white." For hundreds of years starting with Alexander the Great and ending with her, Egypt was ruled by Macedonians, who back then were not even all that swarthy.

You should probably clarify that his doctorate is from UMass Amherst. When you say just say Amherst, it sounds like you're talking about Amherst College.

That could be a slogan for a campaign to raise the voting age.

Are you implying that Harrison Ford is not young or something?

I don't know much about life in Pakistan, but I'm pretty sure they have offices.

I'd like to see him as Marilyn.

Right, which nobody seems to care about when it happens to someone less adorbs.

Something like what? Millions of dollars, shelfloads of awards, and the hypocritical protectiveness of legions of neckbeards?

As soon as I saw this article, I decided I was going to make a hilarious joke to this effect, but you guys ruined it for me by discussing it seriously.

knight who absconds with Arthur’s wife."

I think you know that's not a fair description of what I said.

I don't know the names of many TV pundits of any ideology, inasmuch as I only see them on TVs in waiting rooms and so forth. But certainly I hear a lot about white and/or male privilege apparently invalidating opinions. In fact that's often implied on the AV Club, too, and I assume we're less silly than TV pundits.

I'm kind of surrendering the moral high ground here, but I have been known to deliberately walk into people who aren't looking where they are going. Why should I be the one to get out of the way? And better me than a car, right? Maybe I've saved lives…

I live in Queens, hipster.
