Saying dumbass polarizing shit like that in the press could logically also have an effect on her income, so I have no sympathy for that challenge of her public role.

Good to remember that this is a problem in countless places all over the world that receive our "charity." Local apparel industries are decimated and traditional textile production is destroyed by this. Ever wonder how a baby in a Christian Children's Fund commercial is wearing Osh Kosh?

Yup, it's just more difficult. It's not an excuse not to do it.. especially at a high-markup pricepoint. It's just important to understand that it isn't the same process at all, and, I think most importantly, why samples and models all need to be a uniform size for the whole system to make any sense. I think…

Great info, so again, thank-you. What I meant to put across is that, while the disproportionate disadvantages faced by POC (which I won't claim to fully understand, but am certainly not ignorant of) on the whole are perhaps the main issue relating to race in America today, that is a larger, more theoretical problem in…

Cord Jefferson schooled some complainant yesterday because Gawker has, like, four POC writers now (only one of whom writes anything worth reading, Caity Weaver 4 lyfe.) I think it was not long ago that it was just Adrien Chen (who strictly writes the techie/nerdy/gamer stories..)

Interesting question, since this article is one of the scarce few articles addressing race in any way that wasn't written by Dodai. I really enjoy her outlook, but goddamn it makes me sad when I almost always (I might say always, were it not for this right here..) see her name on any Jez article probing into racial…

Undoubtedly - and thanks for the info-packed considered response. It does occur to me, though, in this situations, that while the "elite" in America is undoubtedly mostly white, making white people vastly more privileged on the whole than any minority, this does not mitigate or negate the fact that there are a ton of…

GM is a little less super-duper-fucking-whitewashed for the first time since I've been a reader.. years now. Must feel nice for them to have a little bit of leverage to write stories like this.

"inclined to get out because they've got families to support, bills to pay."

I didn't realize families and bills are problems which disproportionately affect POC.

Robin Thicke is a confirmed douchebag and there's a case to be made that this song's message is problematic. I think it's a weak and pedantic case, but have at it..

"Hey, do you think this is degrading to women?" I'm like, "Of course it is. What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman. I've never gotten to do that before.…

I'm so glad I stopped giving a shit about what other people think about my body. It's just too damn hard in the summer time. Y'all are going to have to get used to my sweaty back, hairy shoulder poking out of my tank top, indecent amount of exposed (likewise hairy, a la wildebeest) leg in my shorty shorts. I still…

I actually would like her to be President but I would like everyone else to shut the fuck up about it until it actually matters, and until (if ever) she states any desire to run in '16. It's damn rude to mention it all the time when she's specifically stated she does not plan to run, and she must hear it every day..

I want to add a different, or more elaborated point of view to this sample size debate.

Next time you buy a bra, go three sizes down. Bet you can still physically get it on your body. Is it comfortable? Does your blood circulate? Would you want to go about your regular activities wearing it?

Now you might know what the word fit actually means.

Nah, seems to me that the approach of disinterest in your partner's experience and comfort combined with a reflex of distrust is a more healthy sexual attitude. Your rationality has no place in a healthy relationship.

Dr Bronner's is only good for your dishes if you never use any kind of grease or fat. That shit is absolutely useless at cutting grease.

Also: I just had a bath yesterday with Dr Bronners. It produced the weirdest "foam" I've ever seen. Almost like filmy cheese curds or something. Sortof plastic-y seeming, like when…

I'm sure the current palace security are spitting their coffee all over their keyboards at the shocking news that their charges are famous persons in danger of harm from crazy people. Thanks for alerting us, washed up bodyguard man! You may have just saved an unborn life.

God forbid you attempt to have explorative discourse without pitting ourselves against each other and projecting hostility and baseless assumptions.

Don't know where I implied that my feelings were hurt, let alone that this is of primary importance. And since you've made it the central issue, I might note that I am…

Yes, I am aware of the troubling falseness of pretending to be color-blind, which I guess is a shocking achievement for a white person. Note that I specified that this concept is positive specifically in the subject of identifying with fictional characters of different races, when that barrier illogically prevents…

All I can say is you ought to be glad you figured out he was an asshole well before he brought up the "driving gloves." That would have been tragic, had the date actually gone well.
