Blame the French! (I'm about to nerd out with some fashion history.)

So nice, it posted twice, thanks Kinja!

Being a celebrity would suck so bad! You have no privacy, you have to be on all the time, your every move is scrutinized, people say unspeakable things about you constantly, if you're female you will probably have your sex tapes and nude photos leaked for all the world to see, and - worst of all - you have to hang out…

Wow, fuck you Hamilton Nolan. 'If you don't want to deal with sexism in your industry, just don't do the things you need to do to succeed in it!' Because that works REALLY REALLY well for women in general, right?

MIA and Eminem are non-black rappers who rap in their own voices. It can be done. Iggy very deliberately puts on a fake accent to rap. And she's racist as fuck. "Mexican girls got that box body on lock." Calling herself a slave master. Just accept that your fave is problematic. It's fine. If it were anyone else…

She pretends to be a black girl from Atlanta by using that accent in her songs, even though that's not how she speaks.

Personally, I believe both Matress and Great White Goddess. Many places do have either a misogynist/bully/otherwise unstable human being of some type. It isn't a matter of thinking that men are incapable of empathy- most men who saw that kind of behavior that I've known wouldn't hesitate at all to call it out. If…

Thank you for that, I think it's true a lot of the time. Not all men are bad, not all men are creeps, not all men are oblivious. I think it's just so different to be frightened on the regular. I think one the most profound things my ex-husband ever said to me was "Before I fell in love and cared so much about a woman,…

You don't understand what it's like. I have black friends, but if you watched Selma you'd think white people were racists.

"The refugee family we hosted over 35 years ago are still close friends, completely Americanized, financially successful"

Because every depiction of white people reflects back on all of you.

Look at all they've done for YOU PEOPLE!!!

#NotAllWhites

It sounds like your family are good people. But, how many encounters between the Vietnamese family and white Americans did you not witness? What microagressions did you and your family commit (unintentionally) that you can be made aware of now by considering a different perspective?

WHITE OPPRESSION! :P

"Ugh I just can't have this conversation with you until you've really synthesized the works of Plato."

I dated a Philosophy Bro in college! It was the worst! So so so many "Why can't you just be logical about this like I am?" endings to arguments when I was trying to ask him to please stop cheating on me.

it's also insane that they declined to comment

I'm sorry this happened and I'm sorry you felt so alone for so long (and at all ever, really).

Can you not group all mental illnesses with psychopathy?
