It’s the “his own people” that’s most telling. At a subconscious, gut-belief level, Spicer doesn’t consider Jewish Germans and Austrians to be Germans and Austrians, i.e. Hitler’s people. He considers them wholly Other in a way that is analogous to Hitler’s own Othering of Jews, gays, Communists, dissenters, etc.

Me on a conference call when someone suddenly says my name and asks for my thoughts after 45 minutes of doing anything else but listening.

ignore wasps at your own peril, people of fusion.

The empathy and grace and forgiveness shown by the victims’ families is remarkable especially in the face of so much senseless loss. Roof’s grandfather not understanding how an entrenched culture of whiteness and supremacy and lack of empathy led to this tragedy is a problem. How do you not understand what the…

80% of K-8 teachers are women. 91% of people who murder their family members are men. Statistically, your assumption is extremely likely.

The majority of elementary school teachers are women. The majority of shooters are men. So, your’s is not an outrageous assumption.

Exactly. I’m boning a feminist guy who voted for Hillary.

Can we just not have sex with evil men? Is that enough?

I assume everyone who was defending United so vigorously during leggingsgate because “THOSE ARE THE RULES” will also have no problem with this? Rules are rules, people, no matter how ridiculous, right?

No, people don’t complain. Because they usually just don’t look at the interpreter. If you spend the entire time focusing on the interpreter instead of the stage, you’re wasting your own money.

They look like two women hired to do a fetish video without understanding what exactly is going on...

I always give the answer that I’m from [suburb 30 minutes outside Toronto] to irritate people.

I think there’s a difference between questioning the victim and putting things into perspective. I had the same thought when I read this.

Gosh, as a first generation Asian-Canadian, that was a hard video to watch because I totally feel her pain. I’m kind of an older and more cynical version of her. She’s so young I’m wondering if this was maybe the very first time she experienced just blatant hatred directed at her purely due to her race (as opposed to…

Later, Trumped shamed Xi into buying boxes of his granddaughter’s Girl Scout cookies.

As a black woman I have to agree with this. It baffles me that the depictions of Indians and other Asians are still allowed to be so terrible. I mean...its sugar coated in “positive” reasons like, “He’s a nerd so that’s why he’s bad with women.” Like, no. Still racist. Still terrible.

Cue “oh but he wasn’t a RESPONSIBLE gun owner! RESPONSIBLE gun owners never make mistakes and should never be punished for the actions of irresponsible gun owners!” (puts gun in purse, gets shot by toddler/dog/self, continues to whine about how responsible they are).

A-to-the-mother-fucking-men. I got harassed about my “nationality” last month by a “medical professional” because I asserted that I’m American. He wanted me to say “Asian” but we all know what kind of ignorant-ass shit comes after those questions. I gave in to my mischievous side and said I’m Scottish (I am…

I’d argue against that theory mainly because racists think all Asian people are Chinese.

And they’ll be like well you guys are so smart! And you’ll be fine.
