That shit drives me absolutely crazy and people that aren't minorities have NO understanding of how insidious this shit is and how it eats away at you every single day and demoralizes you. Even many of the loudest self-professed liberals don't see anything outside of the KKK or a straight up horrible slur as racist,…

"This incident will be dealt with APPROPRIATELY." (Sweep under rug, kid graduates with a Goldman job.)

I'm deathly scared that it's a possibility, to the point where I've started socking away money in case I need to leave the country. I don't think I'm being too dramatic about it either but given that I descend from parents and grandparents that went from Asia to Africa to the US I know all too well that dangerous…

Can someone tell me how/why Chloe Sevigny is considered to be a downtown 'style' icon. Please?

And very very specific job experience too. You have proven writing skills working corp communications in one company and want to switch to this one that sells a different type of widgets? Well there's 10 people who are fighting for that job who has writing skills and within the same widget industry. So sorry, you're…

One of the things that annoy me most around discussions around my generation (I'm 25) is the broad strokes that people paint regarding our employment issues. Sure, there are people who are seriously entitled and have unrealistic job expectations and thumb their nose at admin, low-level positions in lieu of something…

sorry lena that don't fly. i get it if you feel uncomfortable writing characters that don't closely mirror those in your personal inner circle. but. the two minority characters that got 5 seconds of screen time have been something other than tired and offensive stereotypes. a cheerful homeless black man? a nerdy asian…

Speaking from an East Asian background I wouldn't say that the taboo is stronger than the general population's various reasons for not wanting to adopt; it has more to do with an emphasis ON family bloodlines rather than a distaste for adoption. It's the same reason why traditionally males were valued - they 'pass'…

Amazing and classy (hate that word but is appropriate here!) of her to sue them for a totally reasonable solution to her humiliation (and prevent future incidence of such). She's handled this with such grace and dignity. Her weight loss is also going well it seems - I'm totally rooting for her!

I actually find this news surprising - ads seeking egg donors where literally everywhere on our campus. My girlfriends and I discussed this one night and there were a few in our circle who took the bait and went to the clinics to see what the procedure would be like. None of them went through it but they all found…

I said she (Michelle) knew her way around Barney's..I didn't say anything about you...

Nymag has an excellent compilation of all her outfits for a range of public events, from big state dinners to meeting families at small military bases. You'll see within clicking the first ten photos that she's worn Balenciaga (to a small event no less), naeem khan, and other designers. Her belt in the first photo is…

OMG, totally, those tight, shiny psychedelic 90s shirts with like Buddha and trippy vaguely eastern themed things. I got one when I was 13 and I thought I was SOOOOOO COOOOOOOOL.

Ok it's totally an ugly and ridiculously expensive shirt. BUT. I thought it was shitty when Republicans did this to Michelle Obama and it's equally shitty to do this to Anne Romney. As people who know fashion can attest Mrs. Obama is a true fashionista and mixes some very expensive pieces up with her J. Crew,…

Can I ask what you used to treat your UTI's with instead of antibiotics? I used to get them ALL the time (but stopped after I stopped using commercial soap down there and only use copious amounts off water on the advice of my doctor...something about the pH and my love for fragranced soaps irritating my skin). It…

I'm pretty sure the racial aspect is the big bogeyman (again) in this whole situation. It's easy to paint CB as an aggressive, flying-off-the-handle, violent (not that he doesn't deserve those superlatives) black man but oh you know, it's just a youthful/drunken/psychological issues transgression whatever…

Fuckface doesn't deserve a career and it's a testament to the racial power structure that be that Hollywood has allowed him a second chance, at a "serious" Oscar Bait type career no less.

Doncha know, Chris Brown is the only celebrity that's ever committed a violent/racist/generally shitty act and deserves Jez Scorn (TM)? I mentioned this very fact recently re: Marky Mark and a starred commenter actually replied that it's different because Walhberg 'apologized' (actually he didn't - he said that he's…

She looks amazing and I am astounded by what good haircolor can do for you. It literally got rid of the past 5 years on her.

Great article. Having lived with straight outta "Girls" style Brooklyn hipsters briefly (random situation, helping a friend w/ her lease) I have to say that you're forgetting that being a hipster doesn't preclude one from being an obvious, non-ironic racist. The apartment was on the just-beginning to bougey-fy edge…
