Both these things —

He was getting paid, wasn't he?

What about passive aggressive use, such as "bless your heart?"

It was a masquerade ball, my date was a friend who was gay but inexplicably not my gay best friend, my heels were clear acrylic and lit up, and not a single teacher recognized me since I was wearing contacts, make up, and had lost 13 pounds due to a stomach flu two weeks prior.

She's probably being nice to him because they're going on a big group vacation soon?

Yeah, but this'll be pinging when she's googled by scholarship offices.

This was my thought — wouldn't being a woman make her a "minority law professor?"

I wish Judd Apatow would make some minority friends to put in his movies.

Oh jeez who's chopping onions in here.

This is amazing and I'm stealing this idea for the future.

It's part of a comodification of a culture these people aren't a part of, like, gosh, this cute hipster loves Busta Rhymes,…

Yeah, it's pretty rough being reminded of racism every day through my everyday experiences as a minority — sometimes it feels quite hopeless. Oh wait was that not what you meant?

I'm super attracted to Scarlett Johansson, dude. Pro-tip: there's no reason to tear down some ladies in order to reassure other ladies they're okay.

[www.amazon.com] This shit is my jam; basically the only reason I can wear shorts. But that stuff looks worth a look! Thanks!

I actually swear by BodyGlide now, but it doesn't work super great if I'm swimming.

I finally ditched the shorts on the beach this month and it was glorious (I have slowly moved from one-piece + dude trunks, to tankini + trunks, to bikini top + board shorts). I keep the shorts around though because thigh chafe, y'all. #chubproblems
