You’re right that editors are predominantly white, white people miss the truth around POC more, and Mariah’s editors definitely should have caught this. BUT.

I don’t know, It sounded like the person writing the Article had a personal beef with Chopra or had a crush on Jonas or something. I mean the editors clearly shouldn’t have let this get printed, but the writer is the one that wrote it, not the editors. Speaking of Black writers, I think they do tend to be more cognizan…
The black kids I went to school with didn’t have white editors telling them to call me a “curry ass bitch,” either! I don’t understand why Smith’s racism gets off scot-free here.
Even before they trampled all over somebody’s cultural traditions, you’d think their Spidey sense would have been tingling from the bitchy intentions of the story.
You gotta trip pretty hard to write that article
If someone posted “Americans are unaware of Chinese culture,” I would know exactly what they mean and not be offended in a what-about-me way. The post does not in any way erase Chinese Americans’ sentiments about an apparent generalization.
*SIGH* Yes, ther are pockets of every culture in the world here in the U.S., that may be aware of things from their homeland that most others would not. I’m second-generation Irish and I don’t expect people to know who Eileen Ivers or Liam Clancy are. If I say most Americans don’t know who those people are, am I…
The writer, Mariah Smith, is black, but the Cut’s editors, and their perspective, are mostly white.
There was a joke a while back by some comedian that went roughly like “Dick Cheney is pissed that his record of being the most evil dude in recent history is being threatened by a man who can barely spell.”
It’s relevant. He was GHWB’s Secretary of Defense, and oversaw the move to contracting out military functions, then went to work for the biggest contractor.(Halliburton)
Trump and Melania do not belong up there with the other presidents and their wives, it is viscerally upsetting for me to see his fat arrogant ass in that row. WTF has this world come to? excuse me while I vomit
I know a lot of people have plenty of reasons to hate the holidays but I only have one. I hate having to pretend that I like peoples’ nasty cookie recipes that contain anything other than chocolate chips. I mean I would usually say straight to their face, “Damn that’s nasty”, but these are the holidays so I should be…
Clothes: If you’re female, get a good bra, something specifically for high impact activity.
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that these two human are married to each other.
I’m engaged. Is it bad that I want this veil so it can swallow my enemies like a big beautiful spider web?
Just to be clear, I’m not in favor of their agenda. I do love their chicken. But are you drawing the line here because you “have no desire for my money to end up funding discriminating groups.” or are you drawing the line here because they are very PUBLIC about how they spend that money? Because a VAST majority of the…
I grew up Protestant and didn’t know a Jewish person until college. The only difference between Midwestern Methodists and sitting shiva is Jews have a name for it (where I’m from it’s Just A Thing You Do). I suppose also that you’ll generally see a baked ham on the menu, so there’s two differences.
My church has someone assigned to handle organizing meals for those who need them (new baby/surgery/illness/death/etc.) and they use https://www.takethemameal.com/ to organize it all. Works great, especially for those who are less tech savvy (basically half of my congregation, lol).
