Racism =/= institutionalized racism. I know that some people think it is one and the same, but there are others who consider any form of ignorance/prejudice against people who are not of their race, "racism." A Toronto chef was going to open a restaurant called GwaiLo (a Cantonese insult/slur towards non-Asians,…

This is kind of like asking why The Facts of Life did not portray boy students at Eastland, right?

Oh, and to wrap World Pride up, we got a rainbow after a brief downpour earlier this evening.

Ummm, nothing from Toronto? We're hosting World Pride this year! Should also add that we have one of the biggest Pride parades in the world.

Is this for real? I always thought that they used electronic fans and then digitally fixed so the hair would flip "properly."

Really? The football team seems to still exist, according to this website: http://www.varsityblues.ca/index.aspx?pat…

Well, Queen's Bands is back. And when they suspended Homecoming, I actually withdrew support for a few years (several alumni did that, from what I understand. But it didn't matter, since I'm not a major donor...as if not giving them like $100 is such a big deal). Homecoming came back last year (or maybe it was the…

This isn't the first time a school has scrapped a team, right? Wasn't there a school in Canada that cancelled its football season because of this issue (or was it drugs??). McMaster, right?

The woman in the movie isn't exactly considered "above average" according to many East Asian standards. She's rather plain, IMHO.

Also because brighter shades look better on darker skin, IMHO.

My great-grandmother had her last child in her 40s. She lived until she was in her mid-90s. Keep in mind that this woman was semi-literate and had bound feet. My maternal grandmother had her last child in her mid-20s, but passed away in her late 80s. My other grandmother (my paternal grandmother) is about 88 and…

I wonder how things would be seen in an "old country" if a first generation westerner politician makes this kind of statement. Would he/she be seen as being "brainwashed" by a western nation and that leaving one's country for the west is a bad thing?

1998? Didn't she publish a Fudge book some time in the early 2000s? Or does that not count, since it's for kids?

There are plenty of Canadian men of Asian descent, so where would they fit in?

So you'd knock people over?

I took ballet as a little girl, but my grandmother (ethnic Chinese by way of Macau and Hong Kong) said that I shouldn't take lessons too long as I'd end up with huge (muscular) legs. And a lady shouldn't have muscular legs. I eventually quit (because I was talentless and also had some health issues), but sorry,…

Here are some of the pics if you can't find a copy:

I was watching CNN last night and they were speaking with three women (including Eva Chen and someone from the US women's soccer team). They showed a picture of Ronaldo, naked and standing behind is fiancee (wife??) in a wedding gown. It was for Spanish Vogue, I think. I guess that's as nude as any sort of Vogue…

While we're on the topic of perfect-looking celebs, can we please talk about the World Cup hotties? We talk so much about female objectification on this board, so why not guys??

Yeah, and not only that, kids in diaper commercials are often only wearing diapers. What's the diff?
