Yeah...I sort of hate that this movie is being used as the laundry line that airs these issues. It’s an important point that deserves to be heard, but this is literally the third article I’ve read online about The Big Sick mainly discussing issues with white women/Asian men onscreen. It starts feeling like a…

Thank you. I came here to say this. People keep asking for stories about real people that are inclusive. THIS IS A FUCKING REAL STORY THAT IS INCLUSIVE. SO REAL IN FACT THAT IT FUCKING HAPPENED. Unless white women now have to either date within their race or no one is allowed to tell true stories about interracial…

And by earning white love, the Asian man gains acceptance in a society that has thwarted them from the very beginning.

There are a lot of commenters in the greys noting that men have to wear suits and ties in these environments, which I think is a relevant comparison, especially if we’re planning to use “it’s so hot in DC” as a rationale.

In other words, your disdain for Torre comes out by jumping on the one person’s side that’s fighting him.

He has been ranked in the Top 5 Worst Umpires consistantly since 2011:

Perhaps the same people who overlooked Hernandez’ shortcomings to promote diversity in MLB umpiring? Maybe the pre-Torre MLB leadership was blowing smoke up Hernandez’ ass — and Torre was having none of that BS?

I know that no one likes to admit that overlooking weak minority performance occurs in the name of promoting…

Would you want Angel Hernandez working your World Series? Can anybody name an umpire from the last World Series? Exactly. You only know the names of the bad umpires and Hernandez is easily lumped into that category post. Hernandez always brings the ump show against Baltimore and is volatile behind the plate. He was so…

There are only two reasons to know an umpire: they suck or they make an absolute ass of themselves off the field (I think Cowboy Joe West checks both boxes!)

The civil jurors will find against him when he tries to eject a key witness for no apparent reason during a vital bit of testimony. “He thinks that we came to the trial to watch him,” they complained.

can’t say how many times I’ve found myself in the wrong part of the intersection that I thought I would be able to clear

Yeah... you missed it. The guy is worried about being falsely accused of sexual assault. He worries that he’ll have normal, completely consensual sex without doing a single thing wrong and then later be accused of rape. So he’s trying to protect himself by proving that the other party agreed to sex.

Unfortunately,…

Respect me and my privacy? Did he knock on her door or something?

Really, Pat? McEnroe was owned? He gave Serena, the greatest competitor in any sport, the ultimate compliment calling her the greatest of all time. Than the interviewer, knowing he would get some clicks, asked where she would stand versus male players. What is McEnroe supposed to say. So I’ll ask you, Redford, where…

She would get beaten by men’s college players.

Like Diana Taurasi is amazing. But could she guard Russell Westbrook or James Harden or beat them 1 on 1? She’d be the first to tell you, no. She really couldn’t. Does that mean she’s not amazing? No!! She’s amazing. It takes nothing at all away from her. Don’t force stupid comparisons. Just accept how amazing she is…

He exaggerated on the 700th bit. But isn’t the rest of it true? Can’t we both acknowledge that she’s unprecedentedly awesome and amazing AND that she’d get crushed by someone like Novak D or Andy Murray? She’d presumably admit as much herself if you forced her to answer. Those guys are taller than her, faster than…

Look at how this question was setup:

Agreed. Asking a woman “do you play video games?” is not an assumption that she does not play video game. It’s the opposite. It’s keeping an open mind about whether she might play video games. If you had made the assumption that she does not, then you wouldn’t bother asking.

“Don’t ask, “do you play video games?” Instead, ask, “what kind of games do you play?””
