Can’t agree with you on this one. NO ONE should care what a 3-year-old girl is wearing any more than they should care what a 3-year-old boy is wearing.

And your saying that it’s ok “in her own home” but not in public is suspect, too. She’s not a sexual object ANYWHERE, so how is her “privacy” and what she does “in her…

Bill is that u

God.

That was hard to watch because that host/interviewer was AWKWARD AS HELL.

This is what white people do, everyday in large and small ways to PoC. They antagonize and antagonize and antagonize you, it gives them a sense of false worth to feel better than. It’s their whole persona, being “better than”. “I may be poor, but at least I ain’t a nigger!” White people are fully aware of the…

Yeah, being around all of those black people and insisting that they make her “sound black” must have been really gross for her.

When your boss has to come in to the thread to defend you, it’s pretty clear you both fucked up.

Swing and a miss, Katherine.

No, it means he’s calling him a whore. I don’t know Stephen Colbert on a personal level, but I am 100% sure he’s not homophobic. Cool attempt to gin up controversy though.

LOL

Bless you for having the patience to break this all down for that fool.

Excellent podcast, really horrible subject. Lisa Chow and Gimlet Media did an incredible job of telling the story, and I was worried for a moment that it would make me sort of like Dov Charney - and then he spoke and I remembered that would be impossible.

For those interested, Start Up recently did a several episode series about Charney’s attempts at starting his new company and his past at American Apparel. While I’m generally skeptical of our societal tendency to give so-called complicated male figures a lot of attention in some sort of attempt to figure them out,…

It’s not up to Margaret Cho to alleviate Tilda Swinton’s white guilt. It’s not her job. She is not Representative Asian #4. If Swinton had mixed feelings, she has the money to avoid the role and choose something else. Once she chose to move forward and do the role, then who is benefiting from those guilt feelings,…

Yeah, it was still not okay to seek out an Asian person you don’t know to have the white person guilt convo, and that is really how it looks to me. She joked about it afterward, but the feelings of having to hear/witness/be asked to be in that conversation must have been maddening.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be comfortable convicting him either, based on the evidence I’ve seen. I have massive amounts of reasonable doubt. I’m surprised the comments here are so overwhelmingly supportive of the guilty verdict.

Based on everything I’ve heard and read about the case, I don’t think that I would have felt comfortable convicting him. Now, the police officer who was caught on video shooting a man in the back, yes. He’s guilty. But I’m not so sure with Harris.

The thing about theatre and film and television is sometimes there are REASONS a role must be cast with a specific ethnicity. Like in Hamilton. They aren’t just arbitrarily deciding to ONLY cast non-white actors! There is a fucking reason! IT’S INTEGRAL TO THE FUCKING MESSAGE OF THE SHOW. The people who complained are…

Nah.

You’re not — turn down the persecution complex, dweeb.
