Too bad all of us aren’t free.

My gender, my race, my sexual orientation, my age.... None of that matters. None of it has anything to do with my mind and my ability to perform.

There’s mounting evidence that Asian-Americans (a very diverse group with varying levels of educational attainment) are being punished for their disproportionate educational success comparative to their population ratio.

As an African American, I do not applaud the fall of Affirmative Action. I’m glad that black people have the opportunity to go to any college they want instead of being limited to historical black colleges.

“All those gross things he said in public over the last 30 years of his professional life were fine. THIS, however, crossed the line.”

Yeah, I think this guy was a racist, sexist pig mainly. There are tons of bipolar people who would never hurt a fly or only pose a danger to themselves. Let’s call him what he is.

How can you possibly “see the other side?” The Consistitution clearly grants citizens the ability to petition their government and officers are clearly agents of said government meaning speech critical of them is... clearly protected. There’s a reason why this sentence got turned over at the Court of Appeals, an early…

Am I the only feminist who doesn’t like Amy Schumer? I watched her stand up special and found it to be of the “racist in the name of ‘feminism’” variety. Like, if you champion women (read: upper middle class white women who are exactly like you) then you get a pass on being generally terrible about everything else.…

Er, have you been following the news at all since 11 September, 2001? Perhaps since 7 July 2005? Women of colour (and particularly black women) from all over the globe have been subject to hair searches for a long, long time now. This article is a nice reminder, but this conversation has been had. And of course, as…

No, it isn’t a coincedence that all of the airlines are Asian based, but it has nothing to with MERS. As best as I can tell, the survey was conducted from 2013 to 2014, while the MERS outbreak in Korea started in May 2015. What a lazy explanation.

Listen guys, this is ridiculous. Deleting comments that point out how tone deaf and culturally offensive this article is really not helping the whole “We’re not a white feminists’ thing you all are trying to buckle down on all the time. People are giving you valuable feedback: that this article is condescending and…

Nope. No chance at all. But at least it made her feel better, and that’s the important thing.

I don’t understand how you have a BA in international relations and yet still manage to post something this tone deaf? Surely there must be a class that teaches people how to discuss cultural differences without coming across as some sort of western savior? Perhaps my idea of international relations and what a degree…

“There were countless times were it was cleaner to urinate on a bathroom floor instead of sitting on a toilet seat.”

Yeah I know, it’s how I feel when i click on a Kitchenette article

THIS. THIS. THIS. They act like all of India is one culture which boggles my mind. There are 780 languages spoken in India, 3000 castes, and so many communities. How can you say there is one culture. Is an educated Iyengar going to have the same life experiences as a oppressed Dalit? Is an affluent business owning…

The story itself is about her experience with this brown dude in a foreign land. She was a Cali co-ed. The story is still the same typical story as she presented it. Doesn’t matter if she’s black, white or Asian. The trope of his culture’s stifling otherness against the shock of her feminist awakening is the same old…

Sure...she TOTALLY changed that thousands-of-years-old culture!

It isn’t just mine a shit ton of other critical comments were also deleted.
