Yeah but then how would I look like an utter twat?

That’s a wildly ignorant and inaccurate statement.

The immediate change of tone in his voice when he realizes who she is.

Harvard guys always douche it up where ever they go. So much insecurity.

These are actually anti-capitalism protests, rather than anti-Trump protests. Although, given how self-involved that manbaby is, he probably thinks they’re all about him anyway, I guess...

THANK YOU. Totally agree with you.

Not really. “I’m tired of watching brown men fall in love with white women” as a title itself brings up the point.
“I’m tired of brown creators demean brown women on TV”- that’s a point I can get behind.
This title, and the bend it gives to the title, is (somewhat) demeaning to multiracial people. And it’s not like…

As someone else who is one half of a biracial couple, all I can say is: my sentiments exactly.

That wasn’t what her article was about. Had she focused on how WOC are portrayed that would have been one thing. But instead this piece was paragraph after paragraph of whining about interracial relationships on the big screen.  

Thank you, I’m so with you on this. As a happy hopa girl with an Asian father this article was infuriating.

The only people mad that I (a brown guy) was marrying my white spouse were her feminist friends who thought I was some savage and a handful of her redneck family we don’t talk to. I’m actually bi-racial too but I look more ethnic. Our kids look like white kids with a nice tan lol.

Yep. As one half of a biracial couple, I can personally attest that the microaggressions we face in daily life don’t need to be compounded by tirades against multiracial couples on screen. I do agree with the author that brown women are seriously underrepresented as the full, developed characters they deserve to be in…

Thank you! That is exactly how I felt reading this, biracial and pissed.

THANK YOU. As a biracial woman, I am tired of people saying my parents love was invalid. That it was just serving colonialism or serving to oppress black women. If women of color really do not hold men to be the locus of their lives, then do Kumaili and Aziz really need to represent brown women on screen for them? Let…

Personally I’m tired of people attacking interracial relationships. I hated when Jill Scott did it several years ago and I hate it now. Because underneath the rant about interracial relationships is the hatred of biracial people. We get it, you don’t think we should exist.

I agree but isn’t this particular movie a true story? I don’t think it belongs quite in the same category because it was Kumail’s real life experience with his current partner and not a fictional creation. Thoughts?

I only watch it when my mother happens to be, and I quite enjoy it....but if someone asked me who starred in the show, literally the only person I’d be able to name off-hand is Daniel. He and Park are in the exact same same number of episodes as their two white co-stars and neither of them are the “background nerdy…

Well, that’s just stupid.
