All major religions are fucked up patriarchies! Just a reminder.

Haha, I feel like it would be the other way around. Amy would be like, “Yeah, I’m a comedian. That doesn’t mean all I want to talk about are farts.”

Well...sure, but nurses are mostly women and get paid a decent salary and thus matter to advertisers. Plus, there are a lot of gender dynamics going on around the stereotypes of nurses and doctors. I know for a fact people will rip my face off here for saying it but - both physicians and nurses have a four year…

She’s the 21st century Woody Allen. Black people don’t exist, especially not in New York.

I still use my sphygmomanometer and stethoscope when my patient’s BP is tanking. I like to report a manual BP when I report to a doctor.

Actually a pretty good example. When I first worked in hospitals,(1965) nurses did not start IV’s, did not take blood pressure (or it was immediately repeated by a doctor for ‘accuracy’). The stethoscope was left hanging on the BP machine (sphygmomanometer) so no one walked around with one around his or her neck.…

I love Amy and I think she deserved to win. But her hairstylist needs to shape up or ship out s/he is doing her wrong at every appearance.

The explanation is right there in your point two though. All of those are *marginalised* groups. People who have been historically (and in some sections of the public still are) perfectly acceptable targets for vitriol. Who doesn’t like nurses though? All the groups you mentioned there’s going to be other groups going…

This is what’s wrong with America right here. This. Not Bristol Palin herself, but what she represents — the fact that so many stunningly, proudly pig-ignorant, determinedly undereducated, information-resistant people think they know enough about anything to tell others how they should think and behave.

Yes, Bristol, you’re absolutely right. The police who dragged a 14-year-old out of school in handcuffs for building a science project and subjected him to hours of racist interrogation without allowing him access to a lawyer or his parents are the real victims here. The police and white people everywhere. Can’t put…

nothing you could ever attempt to call a white person will ever, ever, ever compare to that word. it’s a false equivalence, and you know it. stop it.

oh, sure because the term “whitey” has the exact same connotations and terrible background that “nigger” does. i completely forgot that “whitey” was used when hanging them from a tree, tarring them, and or calling to them when they were slaves.

Repeat after me, Matt: “ I’m sorry I was wrong, and I’ll try to be better in the future. I hope my own predjudices will be used to start an insightful conversation on white males in Hollywood”

...I am happy that they started a conversation about diversity in Hollywood.

Sure, special preference should only be based on who your daddy knows or went to school with.The idea that success is based on merit is such a fucking myth.

I know nothing about the show (European here) so please tell me if I am wrong (because I really want to be). Is the only person of colour ALSO the only woman? In which case it really tells something about their idea of diversity; “ok guys, we need one POC, one female, let’s just make that the same person, check, much…

Great breakdown. I watched the episode last night and I was SO rooting for Effie and felt uncomfortable on her behalf. Especially when she emphasized on coming from a place “with love in my heart”, like she knew immediately she had to explicitly say it for fear she’d be written off as the angry black woman otherwise.…

“I’m not a heartless, child-kicking racist.”

During the children’s sermon on Christmas Eve, the pastor gave the gifts these gorgeously wrapped presents. The kids opened them and the boxes were empty - he was building to something. So he asked the kids if they knew why their boxes were empty? Much much louder than he anticipated due to the fine ascoustics in the…

That reminds me of a very odd Winnebago trip I took with a few friends and one of their parental pairings. The parental pair was quite well off and very Southern-rich (when driving through Manhattan—in a Winnie, mind—the wife exclaimed, “Oh look! A homeless person!” with all the glee of a seven year old girl spotting…
