Just spit-balling here, but if the purpose of these “lessons” is to teach about how horrible slavery was/is, wouldn’t it be more effective to have white students (or at least people without enslaved ancestors) represent the slaves?

That reminds me of punching holes in 5.25"/3.5" floppy disks to double (I think?) their capacity and feeling like you were really getting away with something... (For ego purposes, I need to state that I was very young when I saw my dad do this, and I am not as old as this memory makes me sound.)

This probably isn’t true, but if those “other guests” were frequent visitors to the hotel or platinum marriott members, I could see a different procedure for their check-in. Gonzalez’s membership in a free program wouldn’t automatically mean that she holds some status in the program

People want to be different like everyone else.  

This whole site is a troll god forbid someone point out the facts here if a white girl had gotten the same extensions and been punished it wouldnt be a story sorry rules apply to everyone just because this girls parents couldn't be bothered to actually read their schools rules before sending their daughter there isnt…

Why do we continue to be upset at our own ignorance??? Why are the parents confused??? The rule applies to pictures on picture day...not on being in school. We got to do better...what are we teaching our kids about personal responsibility?

I’m not impressed. The parents misunderstood or ignored the rules and now are acting like what happened to their daughter is the school’s fault.

I wonder how it can be RACIST to have a copy of the school’s policies and procedures, NOT READ IT, send the kid for picture day, then flip out when a rule effects your kid. This kid is in the third grade and Mommy and Daddy have already turned her into a “victim”! 

Way to turn something not about race into some shit about race. Red extensions suddenly becomes black empowerment for absolutely no reason other than not being able to follow rules. 

eh...this isn’t a race issue, just parents not following rules. also hair extensions is not hair color. 

I’m pretty sure Tommy Callahan did the best explanation of cheap vs expensive brake pads ever

I can’t remember the name of the ep, but way the hell back in Season 1 or 2 Mallory started a string of double entendres during a conference call, to which an increasingly disturbed Arched kept replying “Phrasing!”. The trope stuck, and was picked up by the rest of the crew at the (illegal) spy agency formerly known…

After all, “A rendezvous in space isn’t as easy as just pointing and thrusting.”

OK, so that’s how he meant the n-word.  What did he mean by “white power?”

OK...he has a pass to say that word, sure sure, but can he explain pairing it with “White power”?

Yea, it’s worth noting that I believe the film is still eligible to be entered into the Oscars in every other category. I think they should either change the name back to “Best Foreign Language Film” or expand the category to just “Best Not-American Film” (although I think that would result in A LOT of British films…

I prefer ‘spinster’, myself.

‘English’, unlike ‘Japanese’ is not an ethnic group as well as a nationality, hence there is no ambiguity. You can be Japanese (ethnicity), but not Japanese (nationality), and visa versa. ‘English’ just means a British resident who lives in England.
