Cherry pick my statements all you want man, if this is the hill you want to go down on be my guest

You are overblowing my point here.

One thing that I think needs to end right now is the assumption that anyone who wants to date someone with a different skin color is automatically “exotifying” them. Yes, there are some people who are like that. However, there are a HUGE fucking number of people that are not. And here’s the swoop for the kill on…

The writer does mention it - to conveniently issue it a pass.

This is very true: Asian women marry out of their race at greater numbers than any other group of women. They actually surpass white women at this, and they mostly marry white dudes.

I couldn’t finish it because it wasn’t good.

Yeah...I sort of hate that this movie is being used as the laundry line that airs these issues. It’s an important point that deserves to be heard, but this is literally the third article I’ve read online about The Big Sick mainly discussing issues with white women/Asian men onscreen. It starts feeling like a…

Thank you. I came here to say this. People keep asking for stories about real people that are inclusive. THIS IS A FUCKING REAL STORY THAT IS INCLUSIVE. SO REAL IN FACT THAT IT FUCKING HAPPENED. Unless white women now have to either date within their race or no one is allowed to tell true stories about interracial…

THANK YOU. As a biracial woman, I am tired of people saying my parents love was invalid. That it was just serving colonialism or serving to oppress black women. If women of color really do not hold men to be the locus of their lives, then do Kumaili and Aziz really need to represent brown women on screen for them? Let…

Good article, but it seems odd that The Mindy Project was kind of glazed over. It is probably the most popular show written by and staring an Asian woman, and which (usually) has the exact opposite dynamic (most of the men she dates in the show are white). Mindy Kaling’s character on The Office (Kaling was also a…

Personally I’m tired of people attacking interracial relationships. I hated when Jill Scott did it several years ago and I hate it now. Because underneath the rant about interracial relationships is the hatred of biracial people. We get it, you don’t think we should exist.

I agree but isn’t this particular movie a true story? I don’t think it belongs quite in the same category because it was Kumail’s real life experience with his current partner and not a fictional creation. Thoughts?

In America, we use words like “grit” to describe players who are willing to get dirty and like “captain” for those who will do anything for their teammates.

Bullshit. I don’t know why Gawker-cum-Fusion is so deadset on making sure progressives eat their own tail, but they’re deliberately slanting the story to make CNN look bad. And THAT’S why CNN can’t ever win.

God, I fucking hate everyone who makes me defend CNN.

In all the outrage, the Internet is forgetting one thing. I quote directly from the Troll, “ I’m in total agreement with your statement. I was not threatened in any way.” This guy, talked to CNN and has stated in other interviews, that he offered to delete his account, in an attempt to save his job.

CNN did nothing wrong.

I may be out of left field here but i honestly think CNN was already looking in on him for the star of David on their employees post he made, then the Trump wrestling gif gets tweeted by POTUS. They reach out for comment and HanAssholo (don’t let Drew tell you that was a bad joke Marchman) realizes his friends and…

It wasn’t gratuitous. It was directly from the book. Except the book disgustingly made it a non-POV character and it was all about Theon’s redemption saving a girl everyone forgot about from the first book. All of those chapters are how tortured poor Reek is having to watch a girl being raped by dogs.

I never felt the same about that scene as some did: I felt it was presented not so much as “a motivation for a male character” but more focused a sibling watching a sibling being raped (which he essentially was), and a sibling knowing her sibling was watching.

“The population breakdown supports this move, not because of hate, but because of relateability.”
