yeah, like for so many things, being conventionally attractive (including white or "exotic" but not too exotic) always gives you a leg up. it's totally bullshit and infuriating, but i feel like it's not necessarily iggy's fault society is fucked up. i think she does deserve some criticism, just not the…

No, no they don't just "exploit religion." You really need read up more on ISIS if you think religion has nothing to do with it. It has EVERYTHING to do it, but it's also not the SOLE factor at play: http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archi…

I mean get over the tweets. People's obsession with the tweets is way too YourFaveisProblematic for me. You can harp on the video all you want.

But the attitude that white people can just open their mouths and pour out a bunch of unfunny shit about how gross PoC's are

Yeah, but I've heard she moved to the US at age 16 and lived mostly in mixed-race communities and most of her friends, mentors, colleagues, etc are not white. This does NOT give her the right to use the n-word, etc. but for me, it's the context I need to determined that most of her tweets are tepidly offensive at…

Well, I grew up in a working class, mixed race neighborhood in the US, and people saying stuff like this was common. NOT mind you, really offensive stuff meant to hurt, like there were no uppity white people throwing around the "N" word casually as a way of reinforcing there power. Not the type of racist stuff we…

yeah, i mean, i think that line was super stupid. super. but people's obsession with tweets from forever ago, that frankly, are barely offensive, ugh, just stop. it's like people are obsessed with holding trivial things over her head for all eternity. people make racial (not necessarily racist, but there are some grey…

Lololololol, way to contradict yourself. Poor Bolivian family =/= average poor mixed-race neighborhood in the US. All poor people are totally the same, right!? Dear God, there are vast cultural differences between those two and the fact that you think because you were a poor in SOME country obviously means that you…

Well, like all of ISIS proves that. Ugh

Omg, get over it. People, including and especially PoC, talk like this ALL THE TIME in real life outside of these stupid, liberal, educated, PC internet circle-jerks. Y'all keep bringing this up like it's some kind of trump card when it just shows how privileged so many have been because y'all clearly never had to…

Well, then, sorry your empathy is so limited. I seem to be able to find empathy for both people and animals. Funny that.

Yeah, because caring about animal welfare, which the majority of feminists don't give a flying fuck about and are extremely uncomfortable discussing, and wanting to strip women of bodily autonomy are totes the same thing.

I think so. Am waiting for the attendant rage to follow, but then again, she's not white, so she'll probably get a pass.

On the one hand, I get it, on the other hand, I bet the reason they refuse to board pitbulls is way too many asshole owners who have barely not-neglected pits who maimed the staff one too many times.

FYI, you're kind of an entitled asshole. The reason many places ban perfume is because of people with allergies, asthma, or migraines. Perfume can trigger a hour or days long migraine for some people.

Where's that person who likes to show up and talk about how the US is almost just as bad?

Not even close.

Uh, the US is really far off from a lot of attacks of this nature or objectively worse in Sub-Saharan Africa. As in, way, way, better.

Ha, well, China definitely has its own unique cultural baggage. Like most countries/cultures.
