45 -ish years ago, when the Star Trek show was updated as a short-lived animated series (Filmation Production Studio), the network (NBC) reportedly wanted to cut costs and not hire Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) or George Takei (Sulu) and simply hire anyone else for cheap (read: white). Once Leonard Nimoy learned of this,…

Nick Kroll and Jenny Slate know all about the cronyism of Hollywood and they perpetuated that AND skirted the line of cultural appropriation. Both do new-Millenium ‘Black’ character impersonations. They’re careers are moving into the upper echelons now with a couple of successful shows under their respective belts,…

Nah, it’s not about price.

I got the distinct feeling that former College Professor Mr. Taylor (probably not his real name) lost his job because he was a Jew, and has since assimilated (or being ‘absorbed’) by acting as tour guide under a different name.

Let it never be said that Bernie Sanders is anything but a narcissistic sociopath. 

I seem to recall that Warren got a lot of (idiotic) shit from progressives - a lot of them on this site - for claiming Native American ancestry too, it wasn’t just Republicans.

His Bavarian pop-pop was deported back to the US (which he’d left Bavaria for) for failing to complete his mandatory military service.

It seems to me that once he said he’d pay $1M to a charity of her choice just to take the test... she sort of had to do it, no? If only from an optics standpoint.

Right? It’s annoying and embarrassing that politics have come to this but at the end of the day, here we are. She’s right, he’s wrong and she is the one with the paperwork to prove it.

I hate everything. I hate that he continues to verbally abuse and put down any and every woman that challenges him. I hate that Warren felt compelled to actually respond to his hate. I hate that this will get more attention and liberal outrage than real issues, that really effect people. Like North Dakota voter ID…

They claim it but they do not have it. Just be clear about that. They claim they do but very few white Americans actually have any NA DNA.

He’s never going to pay, but everyone with a functioning brain cell already knew that, regardless of the outcome of the test.

That makes some sense. If you figure you get about 50% DNA from each parent, then that’s 25% for grandparents, 12.5% for third generation, 6.25% for fourth, 3.125% for fifth. Now figure that 99.9% of your DNA is common to all humans, and only 0.003125% of your DNA is uniquely from a specific fifth generation ancestor.…

Please note that Trump and his father claimed they were Swedish for decades - it’s even in The Art of the Deal. How dare he think of questioning anyone’s heritage.

Yes. He is making a sexual assault joke about a DNA kit. For... some reason.

If this only serves to kneecap Trump again, I’m happy she did it. 

The thing is, the Trump-Trolls are absolutely beside themselves trying to spin this. They do care.

He won’t pay. He’ll never pay. He’ll say something about the test being bogus or something.

It’s pretty cool that they were able to trace it, although irritating that they had to. From what I’ve read, the number of ancestors you had starts to outnumber those that have genetically contributed to you beyond four generations back, and the farther back you go the less likely it is. I can’t remember why that is,…

The DNA results won't matter to Trump. He'll just say "people tell me it's a fake test" or some nonsense.
