“Whiteness” is a construct designed by a particular group of people in order to exclude particular other groups and deny them their rights.

That’s what gets me about this. Chinese director casts a movie the way he wants to = offensive. White people tell Chinese director how to cast his movie = social justice.

don’t we have to take the artists word for it?

It’s kind of hypocritical outrage, too. A white blogger, no doubt along with many commenters here, is complaining about ‘white saviors’ by trying to be the savior who explains to a Chinese director how to correctly recognize and address issues supposedly holding back non-white actors.

Are you implying that bankable stars are heavily featured in trailers for movies in ways that overstate their roles in the film itself? Fetch my smelling salts, post-haste!!

I realized it in college when I said it smelled like a storm and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. It was weird, like when I learned on here a while ago that other people’s imaginations aren’t like full color movies.  

Yeah. i find that surprising — i can hear light bulbs, i can smell electricity, and there’s a vibrational quality to a lot of stuff that I can feel that makes me a bit nuts.

After reading this screed, pausing, and reading it again to make sure I didn’t misunderstand anything, my only response is “good riddance”.

I’m pregnant and have no time for sandwich-making. I shall be eating leftovers as I always do, cold, right out of the off-brand tupperware, standing over the sink. Come at me.

$100 to the Sacred Stone Camp.

An important and self-fellating point I should also note is that nukes tend to score much higher on the ASVAB than other recruits. They pride themselves on being dorks, nerds, geeks, and overall smart people. Same with people using their GI Bill: they’re vets who are actively pursuing an education, or dependents of…

The very first thing a recruit does when they join the military is raise their right hand and swear an oath. The very first line of that oath is that person swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign or domestic.

Did that article with 6 people saying they didn’t like working for higher education have a point? It SEEMED like the point was that universities are shitty places to work, and yet a half dozen cherry picked examples can’t really show anything meaningful.

I don’t care what the FDA says, the proper serving size for ice cream is and always will be a pint and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Only show worth watching recently? Clearly you have yet to experience Westworld.

Welcome to 2016 America!

Lol, the people who voted for Obama twice are the same people who swung the vote for Trump. You aren’t catering to the worst of the Republican birther crowd. You should be catering to the people who aren’t racist, but want to hear about jobs, the economy, and how they will benefit.

“Jost is saying that liberals should deemphasize equal rights for all people because it alienates rednecks.”

I’d say the reaction to a joke that was kinda clever, kinda meh, very harmless is perhaps a reason why Democrats lost the election.

Thank you for posting that.
