Uh okaaay. The only people who usually spout that why can't we all be colorblind crap are white males who don't believe that at all.

As a woman, this *was* pretty great to read. I'm proud of her for breaking gender barriers.

Y'know, I train and wrangle animals for commercials and film and I will say that their job— and mine— is a hell of a lot harder than an actor's.

Ignoring race doesn't make racism go away.

What we have here is that Kelsey Grammer, a human man, is feeling jealous of and competitive with a dog.

"When will the white community leaders stand up and condemn this epidemic of serial killers?"

Dear Certain White People (you know who you are),

Great read Tyler. And yeah, she is a badass. I've actually read of her before and being an African American myself, feel very proud. I was in the Air force also, and know the kind of push-back she probably received. A lot of folks on here want to diminish her accomplishment, without having any idea how difficult it…

A lot of common phrases were once slurs - language is kind of elastic that way. Here's a very quick example: http://www.businessinsider.com/offensive-phra…

On the itemized list of monthly expenses it lists $6,800 for groceries and another $7,200 for dining. What the fuck kind of food does she eat for $15k a month?

My heart. It bleeds.

Don't make me come down there...

As Colbert said, "I don't see color. People tell me I'm white and I believe them because police officers call me 'sir.'"

When I was younger I agreed with you completely, but experience has taught me that race is still, sadly, a huge issue on either side of the fence. Even in 2015 there are still scores of people in this country - of all races - who would be shocked that an African American woman could accomplish what Col Tengesdal has…

I wish someone would make a really butch sounding IUD. I would 100% get an IUD that was called something like "ThunderGuts" and came with one of those Detroit type "this is America, we don't worry about being fancy, we just get the damn job done" commercials.

Really, you sure about that? This pilot is a straight bad ass, she's cross-commissioned in the Navy and Air Force, flies both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, and flies one of the most difficult and dangerous planes there is.

Pointing out race doesn't divide us when people are still discriminated against on the basis of their race

No, I understood her impressive achievements. I just find it confounding that they haven't updated the name of the program.

I'm kind of shocked they still call it a dragon lady. It is a racist term to describe hypersexualized Asian women.
