Seriously...I'm a white feminist, and my first fucking reaction to this was NOT "oh dear! people are being kinda mean about some white women! I must twist up my knickers and try to make this problem about MEEEEE!!!"

"The prosecution didn't prove its case!" is something people pull out of their asses in an attempt to appear smart and above-it-all, when they have no clue what's going on. The prosecution didn't prove that Zimmerman stalked and intimidated an innocent, unarmed teenager who had been minding his own business and…

This verdict only serves to confirm what 90% of we black men have known for years, Our life is pretty much worthless beyond our own circle ( not race, but people who care about you) and a select few other who can empathize. I suspected GZ would get off, I don't have much faith in the justice system( a time proven…

It was pretty much guaranteed from the beginning, because Trayvon committed the worst crime one can commit in America:

Longtime comic book nerd here. I don't really see heterosexuality as one of Peter Parker's defining character traits. Insecurity, brooding, to a certain degree he's self-loathing, yes - these aspects could play well into the story of a young man who's socially awkward, introverted and the target of bullies because he…

I don't really like Amy Schumer. Her stand up special seemed really racist.

No, no. It's more complicated than this, and Korean people do not want to look "Western." That's not what they say when you ask them, and that's not what the end result looks like. Even in African countries where colonialism clearly had an influence skin lightening is not as simple as wanting to look white. I'm…

"Almost the entirety of the non-white world is plagued with the never-ending desire to appear as "western" as possible. Whether that means whitening creams in India..."

EVERY TIME AN ARTICLE LIKE THIS IS POSTED, I FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT. US ASIANS DO NOT WANT TO LOOK LIKE YOU WHITE FOLKS. We may like the way you look, but we DO NOT WANT TO LOOK LIKE YOU. Stop thinking we do. There are plenty of Asians with paler skin than a White person NATURALLY. There are plenty of Asians born…

Once again Jezebel writers have proven that they don't know jack about the subjects they are writing about. The majority of Asian women do not do these treatments and surgeries to "become more western" they do them because of cultural traditions, for example white skin in Asia is seen as a sign of wealth and royalty…

Oh joy.

In the cases of skin-whitening creams, I don't think it's wanting to look "Western", but rather, wanting to look pale. There's a big difference. That's like saying the European women who for centuries avoided the sun did so to look like albinos. They didn't- they just wanted to look like they were in the upper…

Oooh oooh! Idea! Could we get articles on women's sports here at Jezebel? On the regular? I don't have cable and don't generally watch much in the way of sports on TV, but if Jezebel were covering women's sports (rather that haphazard articles on women in sports - the Serena Williams articles come to mind) I'd…

Exactly, and they're both pros, so there's nothing to it.

I really wish people were more open to fable-like stuff like this. If Terry Gilliam or Michel Gondry were doing it you wouldn't say you were having a problem with the concept.

Haha! - roommate translation : "But I want to be nosy! I can't be nosy when these people are speaking in a language I can't understand! Me me me me me!"
Seriously though, I get anxious when people are speaking in a different language because what if they're talking about me? But I also get anxious when people whisper i…

the notion that a white person in power believes that minorities are predisposed to crime is proof alone that institutionalized racism is a thing. The fact that many people agree with her is proof that its a thing. How did she not see the irony in her statement?

Its got to be pretty frustrating to be a woman with the intelligence, capability and legitimate aims that Michelle Obama has to be heckled by someone because they want her husband to do something. I mean, go to talk to him for fucks sake.

Listen, I don't expect anybody at Jezebel to read Kotaku (because it's frequently a sewer), but didn't they figure out that this "all these Korean beauty pageant contestants have the same face!" business was due to Photoshop?

What a ridiculous, xenophobic/racist article. You think American beauty pageant contestants don't get plastic surgery? All these girls look pretty different to me. Maybe there is more pressure in Korea to look a certain way, but it requires a much more thoughtful investigation than this crappy click bait article.
