The shooters were revealed to be malignant assholes.

Wouldn’t you want that, though? The idea that a smart device is listening to all my mundane chuntering doesn’t massively bother me. I know I’m not up to any mischief. I suspect if I were, I might be careful enough to unplug the device.

You can acknowledge the loss and grief associated with a miscarriage without conflating it with the death of a child. They are generally two very different experiences with very different impacts.

obviously he beats his woman and is sensitive about it and doesn’t want other women talking about it.

Excellent anecdote for a story where someone died and children were harmed.

I knew the comments were going to be bad but I honestly hoped for better from this site (I EXPECT) better. Some of the comments are just gross.

Like, what the fuck kind of person do you need to be to make this joke rn? Honestly, what the fuck.

Yes. What’s interesting is little Tamir Rice who was murdered by the police was killed in Cleveland Ohio for having a toy gun that looked real. So some people can open carry in Ohio and other people cannot .

We have a climate change denier running the EPA, so yes.

I work in immigration law and the stories I hear from our Salvadoran clients are sickening.

Maid in Manhattan or pretty much any JLo movie. Also, Bride and Prejudice(which made the Indian suitor look like a buffoon). On TV there are lots like Jane the Virgin, The New Girl, Grey’s Anatomy, Quantico and others.

Race is way more than skin color, let’s not pretend that’s it’s just about hue. Race involves cultural, historical, and socio-political factors that are way more than skin deep, so to act as if there’s no baggage that comes with interracial coupling is off base. I’m a WOC and I don’t interracially date because I have…

Nobody will probably see this because there are already 300+ comments, but there is so much paternalistic white racism in the comments that I still wanted to leave one to let the author know that someone stands in solidarity with her.

Yep. Look at how the top comment instantly changed the narrative and started a whole other something *they* are more comfortable being outraged about. The article is very efffective in articulating that entertainment centering white women as most desirable is problematic for the ‘other’ (read:browner) cultures. Plain…

There are multiple issues here and I’m admittedly rambling:

Like, what the hell is happening here?

Because you rarely see WOC as the object of desire by someone from her own community. It whining about “interracial” relationship. It’s talking about centering whiteness as an ultimate prize. Or did you miss the part where she talking about the Mexican-Punjabi relationship?

Me too, but seems like the solution is more stories that center around women of color, not necessarily fewer stories that include interracial relationships.

God, almost all of the comments on this really well-written piece are fucking trash. Sorry, boo. The Jezebel commentariat doesn’t deserve you.

FUCKING THANK YOU. I couldn’t finish the first season of Master of None for exactly this reason. GAG.
