I was reading something at work about syphilis. And for a minute I was like, “Wait. Syphilis is still a thing? That sucks.” But of course it’s still a thing. Stupid STDs.

Different. Great for people who are in LTR with pos people. Not great for random sexing, condom breaking, sleeping with people who are not being monogamous or use IV drugs. The pill is great, but a vaccine would be amazing!

I know it’s a bit of a pipe dream, but I’d love to see ones for HIV and malaria.

So I still have to avoid the clap? Dammit.

This is one of the best science articles I’ve ever read on this site, and I applaud you and those running the show at Jez.

sluts, you are welcome

The more infectious disease we can curb and eliminate within the population, the better.

That’s the biggest mistake ever. Out of all their racism they ALL, Central American, South American, Caribbean - all of them, look down on Mexicans. Don’t assume someone Latino looking is Mexican out loud or they’ll get really offended if they’re from literally any other country. They straight up consider Mexicans to…

I have been told MANY times on Jezebel that my (wonderful but...kinda racist) father CANNOT BE RACIST. That because he’s a Black man in the U.S. it is IMPOSSIBLE for him to be racist. Even though he refuses to hire Hispanic people for his lawn care/gardening in Florida simply because they are Hispanic and he believes…

I’m half Mexican myself and met a Spaniard at a house party. I didn’t know he was Spanish at the time and asked if he was Mexican. The look on his face... it was like I had suggested if he had all the venereal diseases. He replied “No. I am Spanish. From Spain.”

I’m confused, black people can’t be racist!

I am a highly educated, incredibly literate dark-skinned Haitian-American lawyer who has family currently living both in P-a-P and in the countryside. I am fully aware of who DR’s president is currently and who has been president of DR over the last 15 years. Not to mention that I was at the inauguration of Haiti’s…

I know. I didn’t realize it existed until I went to Puerto Rico, where much of my family is from, and my mom explained the discrimination against Dominicans, and also against Puerto Ricans with more African features. Then in the next few years I would meet many people from Columbia, Argentina, etc, that didn’t like me…

I’ll never understand the blatant racism in Latin America. In El Salvador (where my dad is from), most people are mixed with Spanish and Native American (Pipil, Lenca). Yet if you look more Native than Spanish, you’re discriminated against. Like “Oh yes, I’m brown, but he’s browner” kinda bullshit. :/

Your grandpa looks like a male model! Dang!

The Grandparents on their wedding day. No chance of getting a tan from those genes.

Seriously.
