Hey bud, you keep on calling a half latino, quarter japanese guy “white”, the rest of the world will keep on keepin’ on. Peace

No one ever considers themselves the gentrifiers. It’s always the people who move in right after them.

FYI not every minority comes from third world conditions...that’s not actually a required qualification for being a minority. I never once said or implied that he wasn’t privileged, just that he qualifies as a minority by just about any definition. And “surprised people are calling me on my bullshit”...uh homey you’re…

You’re just being obtuse...“white” hispanics/latinos are still considered “minorities” in this country. Do you describe Sonia Sotomayor as a “white lady”?

The Rant Is Too Damn High

It seems like such a caricature of itself, at least in this story.

Apparently the sketch hits a little too close to home. Anyway, this statement is clearly a fake: it was sent out by Rush Limbaugh and the GOP in a lame attempt to make them look humorless. Right? Right.

“Fuck Portlandia! Transmisogyny – Racism – Gentrification – Queer Antagonism – Devaluation of Feminist Discourse.”

i remain unconvinced that this is not a portlandia sketch
