Lorde is not black. She is decidedly white. Bruno Mars is also not black. He is Pacific Islander.

Yeah. You’re just being obstinate on purpose. So, we’re done here.

Saying the same thing over and over didn’t make you right. And calling something dumb doesn’t make it dumb. What’s silly is you badgering the same dumb point, as if that actually answers the larger idea it espouses.

It makes all minorities look bad to who, exactly? People who relish token wins? Also, you’re not the only non-white person here. Fine. I concede that I exaggerated in my original premise. Whatever. The sentiment of under-representation is what matters. People of color are not taken seriously beyond Rap and R&B fields.

If all you have are a handful of exceptions to an otherwise racist institution, that’s fine, but you’re overstating an incredibly minor point. Again, my whole point is that black artists, even when they have every reason to win, are consistently passed over, and therefore, under-represented. If all you can do is…

You’re still ignoring racial disparity.

Again, you’re failing to address that black artists, regardless of acclaim or cultural impact, are passed over for lackluster white artists all the time. That’s the entire point. Hip hop, especially, is passed over time and again. It doesn’t matter if audiences love it, or if critics love it, or if there’s some…

This seems like a terrible idea. So, naturally, I’m gonna do it.

Against dozens and dozens of white people. The most recent example, Herbie Hancock, won a decade ago. For a cover album of a white lady’s songs. Before that Ray Charles wins because he died and because of the Jamie Foxx biopic. Yeah, Outkast and Lauryn Hill winning is cool, but the better part of two decades ago. Keep…

Jay-Z and Kendrick lead, but will never win Album of the Year, because they’re not white.

St. Vincent has at least one. That said, the Alternative field is so bad this year. I’m pulling for The National, but oof...

I mean, I would get it if the piece were saying, “Your neighbors can seem totally normal, but still be Nazis, which is how insidious this kind of thing can be,” as sort of a cautionary tale, but it’s going the opposite direction, “Yeah, I might be a Nazi, but I like Twin Peaks, just like you, so I’m cool!”

It depends on my cycle, but I fall asleep to a lot of shows—specifically Community, Parks and Recreation, Rick and Morty, and 30 Rock. When I just want a movie to have on in the background, I’ll often put on Superbad or Caddyshack.

PECAN PIE!!!! :D

I’m at work. So, it’s not cool for me to be on the verge of tears.

“I didn’t leave Pixar because of sexual misconduct; I left because they’re a white boys club.”

She’s been writing here and there for a while. She did the “Nosedive” episode of Black Mirror with Michael Schur, which is pretty excellent.

Don’t you know that Pizzagate actually originates with Theodore Roosevelt? The Watergate scandal is actually taken from Pizzagate, in case you wanted a slice of U.S. history you may have missed.

When I was five, I we owned a copy of The Blues Brothers, and I watched it over and over. That Halloween, I went as a Blues Brother. Everyone thought I was a Man in Black. Hey dummies, if I were Tommy Lee Jones, why would I be wearing a hat?
