Did anyone else think it was weird last night how Raven was “being a good friend” to Kristina last night by telling her Dean “just wasn’t that into” her? Like, I’m not sure it was that obvious when every conversation we saw between Kristina and Dean was him being apologetic and not really ever telling her clearly that…

Um why?

Thank you for only including relevant seasons. Not even the most studied experts can be bothered with Miami, DC, Potomac or Dallas.

Yes, was just specifying modern Greeks so as not to cause confusion in this statement, since they are different than ancient Greeks. And I see what you’re saying. There is a lot of variation, but in Tina’s case I call bologna.

You’re totally right. Someone else mentioned just how much this shows that race is really a construct. And in a lot of places it seems like people want to pick on whoever is most different until someone even more different shows up. My dad grew up in a French Canadian part of a town in New England and they were the…

Agreed. I mentioned in another comment that there’s kind of a big difference between being white (in whatever cultural sense you mean) and being white passing in America. In many instances, being white passing gets you all the privilege of being white. So, no, most people are not systematically oppressed in 2017 for…

LOL @ your co-worker. I have an acquaintance who has one Irish parent and is definitely the type to bring up Irish hardship when nonwhite immigrants describe their struggles (I’m not discounting how the Irish were treated, just acknowledging that it is a very different experience than nonwhite passing people have).

Right? Tina Fey tried to pull this same shit in her book Bossypants. She mentioned several times about not being all the way white because she’s half Greek... I have never ever thought of her or modern Greek people as non-white. And I have spent a good amount of time in Greece.

LOL my group has a woman that has been posting DAILY about her allegedly stolen dog. She literally has a map of “sightings” and updates it every day. I don’t know what to make of it.

HOW. THE. FUCK.

I am only really shocked from a logical perspective. Having grown up in a mostly rural county in Upstate NY I am, from experience, not surprised :(

Amen! And I believe you, I grew up in the Capitol Region.

Yep, I grew up in the Capitol Region and in the more rural counties these people think it’s the dirty south. And I’ve lived in Georgia too! Truly mind-boggling.

I saw an article today about how the New York State Fair in Syracuse has decided to ban Confederate flags. NEW YORK STATE. Apparently they’d been flying them there. But yeah “it’s about heritage.”

I can’t wait until Jesse Watters gets sued/fired just like his predecessors. What a shithead.

Fair! And valid!

Ha! I’ve dated that guy too. “I just want it to be easy.”

she was only like 28 when she started RHOA. 28!!!! but looking 48!

We also didn’t have social media back then the way we do now. You couldn’t just follow LC and Kristin on Twitter and Instagram and see what they’re up to in real time. You had to watch. The narrative was completely controlled.
