Thank you for this, because this is a great way to educate. I understand if the questions seem rude, but if it is a genuine attempt to learn, how is that a bad thing?

I apologize for my failure to correctly convey my message, I find I struggle with tone when using the Internet.

Seriously. Same thing rings true what someone else said about almost any white person trying to discuss race, white viewpoints are flatly dismissed regardless of the message because they couldn’t possibly know the situation. Then we get people like El whatever, and he doesn’t want to help give someone insight on their…

... I wasn’t speaking on Margaret Cho, I disagree with her take on this.(With the knowledge that’s so far available to me.) I was more referring to the commenter who you responded to you in a general sense of reference as PoCs in predominantly white communities and our interactions.

And when they replaced an Indian character with Ejiofor in The Martian, how should people feel?

Damn. That’s a burn

Thank YOU for bringing out the receipts for “BiffMagnetude”.

Well put

Nah. When is the last time you felt intellectually capable of having a normal discussion instead of trying to go a shame route that isn’t even accurate anyway ;) Bye.

No. I’m not. Apology accepted.

You put a lot of words in other peoples mouths.

FUUUUCK thank you!,  I was really looking for a post like this!. I am 100% amazed about the stupidity of this “debate” they changed like 3 characters to make it diverse and complaint about the Asian they changed from the books, they put an asskicking, no cleavage woman and that was not enough!.

oh the irony of you using that term

Molitor “repeatedly instigated hostile conversations” with Mixon and his companions outside the cafe’s front door, his attorneys wrote in an answer to the lawsuit.

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here.
