It’ very nit-picky. We scream about representation, and when someone does it, it still isn’t good enough and then we shit on the people who are on our side. 

“For centuries darker-skinned Afro-Latinx people have been erased from Latinidad, but we will be forgotten no more. We are tired of being maids and background dancers and will continue to push back until we are seen and heard. Indeed, Lin Manuel Miranda ‘fell short.’”

When one apologizes, one is not entitled to forgiveness or absolution.

She raised a valid point, but... yeah. At least adopt a “wait and see” stance. Don’t re-condemn someone off an apology. Call them out again if they FAIL again. This is just putting the cancellation before the horse.

Agreed. There’s always going to be *someone* that doesn’t like the way you run the ship. As you correctly pointed out, LMM has done more for minorities than most people in the same profession/position. 

As for Léon, who has rightly been credited with sparking this very necessary conversation, in response to Manuel’s apology, she simply stated: “For centuries darker-skinned Afro-Latinx people have been erased from Latinidad, but we will be forgotten no more. We are tired of being maids and background dancers and will…

LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.

Listen, Bob - if the gay people in your life haven’t stopped you from leaving the house looking like a boxcar hobo who collapsed on a Walgreen’s 4th of July display, then they’re definitely not your friends.

I don’t understand why this is an objectionable thing. I’d appreciate it very much if someone with patience took the time to explain it. Apologies in advance, I’m sure the existence of this comment will not sit well with people who already understand this better than I do.

...“In fact, I’ve had to clean out mouse nests from multiple vehicles I’ve purchased—the J10 and Grand Wagoner, among others.”

I mean, it’s a thing, no doubt. I just don’t let it happen to my cars. 

I’m smirking a bit at all the comments chastising you for the state of your property.

if i see so much as a paralegal; hell, even a goddamn intern, i am turning this car around!

I really want to see the melt down on live TV where someone, anyone, just blurts out “OBAMA!” the next time one of these dolts asks “Who could have done it better?” 

Okay, so japanese usually works off of british english when using english loanwords. Americans mostly say “weel,” but the OG pronounciation is more like “hweel.”

I literally have a signed piece of paper in my wallet that I present to racists acknowledging that I do indeed have a white friend.

Gotta give props to dude for having the balls to call u up and open a dialogue. 

“Though the athletes of today are certainly superior to those in my days; we miss the clean cut white young men and women from those days.”

I hope he’s OK. Not the least because if he is, he’s now the mayor of Buffalo pursuant to their municipal code. 

The slowness by which Bills fan bystanders tend to him (not to mention the fact they held onto their beers) is as 1:1 on-brand as it gets.

Would have never guessed he would come up short.  Wide right maybe,  but not short.
