aaaaaand this is why i didn't give a shit when that lunatic shot a bunch of TSA agents @ LAX last year.

Fuck off, Pope.

i used to park in that garage!

i knew it would contain truffles and iberico ham. it sounds delicious, but i can't spend a hundy on a sammy and also i don't eat gold.

i was on the Gay Terminology panel. you can only get one minority panel invite.

As a person who has only lived in the whitest places on the globe, I'm sure you think Seattle is diverse. I, on the other hand, felt like I was in the twilight zone when I was walking down a crowded city street and every face was white as far as I could see.

I never get tired of people genuinely asking for my opinion…

this is my worst nightmare. i always copy the whole thing before i hit send bc it's happened so many times.

who is "they"? why wasn't i invited to this meeting?

it's not that. it's a white person saying "this is wrong" with n extremely authoritative tone without really consulting the affected persons

the point is that if you're not regularly interacting with minorities then your opinions about them can't matter. it's offensive to sit around talking amongst yourselves about minority issues. and it's telling when people choose to live in extra-super-hyper white areas, which can cause you to be so clueless that you…

yes, lots and lots

nice post. ;-) <3 it deserves a longer response as i'd love to continue the conversation, but i have to go do a ton of non-sitting-down work for most of today. also i woke up to like 41 kinja notifications (gulp)

I think if you have a question for non-white people the gawkersphere is generally not a good place to start. But here we are nonetheless.

As a non-white person i find myself continually annoyed by what i said above: that these articles always seem very by-whites-for-whites in their tone. maybe i'm just reading too…

Here's what is offensive:

A group of white people on the internet seriously discussing amongst themselves what is and isn't racist. Maybe have a conversation with a minority instead.

This site is full of uberliberal whitefolk who live in Portland/Boulder/Seattle and haven't even seen a brown person since 2012.

Neither…

dear white person,

why do white people LOVE to become irate on behalf of minorities? this isn't racism. they're just clothes.

i can't wait to vote for her.

you had a hotel?
