Seeing as white women are big racists themselves they should not be making jokes about racism. Its like a straight man making fun of gay people to demonstrate the stupidity of homophobia. It doesn’t work. But this is Jezebel and defending terrible white women is the norm here. I would love to see a black woman make as…

Yes, and this slobberfest around Schumer is going to keep on going. Not only are people who call her the greatest or just the best going to ignore her racist stand up, but they will also try to push any conversation around it to the background so they can keep raving about her.

Maybe in that skit, but not in her stand up. Her jokes are prefaced with the idea that they’re coming from this clueless white person, right - and she goes ahead & makes the joke - Blacks get better names, stop yelling; Latino men stop beating women, Latina women stop being so batshit crazy, Indians you stink - BUT…

Hipster racism is still racism.

My favourite scene was the bit in her show where she mistakes one black shopping assistant for another, because black people all look the same. HILARIOUS .

My favourite comedy bit of hers is when she makes this joke about racist white girls by actually making a joke about how black people should get nicer names and stop yelling all the time and latino men should stop hitting women and latinas shouldn’t be so cray cray and how Indians should use some deodarant, although…

Well trans women aren’t a monolith so they probably all have different opinions on things. Just like cis people. You connect with strangers presumably regardless of their gender

Um, your geography needs some work. And consider the integrity of the Duggars et al before you go wiping up anyone else.

How dense are you people? She explicitly states that the condition of consent is about you examining your own intent. Hence [emphasis mine]:

Very disappointing chauvinist article. She’s a brilliant human rights barrister.. But let’s just compress that to thin and British arm candy. WTF!! I thought I was reading an article on E not Jez. What happened to all the smart female writers, are we just left with the sexist incompetent hacks 😤

I think what misfires for me is that the humor ends up hitting some pretty classist targets on its way to being mean to Amal and George.

Whatever you were going for with the tone and voice of this article did not work.

And for those of us who are outraged by both? Is that not a real option or....?

I mean but south korea still does it share of oppression of other peoples look at their neo colonial ambitions in parts of africa. And their persistent blackface. I’m not really comfortable in letting them off the hook.

What I liked about this, and it has been mentioned by others, is that this is Advertising Standards, not a health or authority or self appointed fashion police. They pointed out explicitly what they found unacceptable about the image, not the weight of the model.

Tbf, the ad was pulled because “he model appeared unhealthily underweight in the image,” so it doesn’t really matter if the model is underweight or suffering from an eating disorder in actuality, the issue is the perception that the ad is promoting unhealthy body standards.

What difference does it make what she thinks? This isn’t about her, this is about how advertising affects women in general. It’s the Advertising Standards Authority, not the Health and Safety Executive or whatever. Note how the decision talks about how the ad makes her appear, not about what she might look like irl or…

Louis CK is an asshole. I called it the moment I saw the first youtube clip of his standup, years ago.

Recent stats suggest a 32% cut for trans women.

Lol what??
