Well, I think the indignation actually comes from being thumped on the head for reclining the seat. I think the language reference is just to set the scene... you know where someone’s yapping and you kind of tune out the droning because you don’t understand it. (If you really want something to be offended by, I

What a mean spirited post. Some guy feels insecure about his appearance, and your answer is to write a rant at him about his privilege. Unbelievable.

Not for nothing, but it’s worth considering that this is a photo of someone who was sexually violated in their sleep. It’s a potentially triggering image which I, for one, would rather not have been greeted with in a morning Dirt Bag.

straight hair and blonde hair are not specific to white people. cornrows,full lips and brown skin are specific to poc and their cultures.

That's a perfectly rational and balanced response to this story.

um, voldemort, the malfoys, most of the death eaters, aunt petunia, snape... lets not make crazy broad statements that are blatantly false

*sirens blaring* And now all the moronic #NotAllRedditors brigrade is rushing to comment. Spare us. That website is a pit of trash.

Have we considered that maybe the patriarchy is poisoning us on purpose so we die around middle-age so that they can marry younger without having to pay for a divorce

This is actually huge and reflects a little myopia. OF COURSE someone who has seen people beaten and murdered for fighting for their rights might sideeye hashtag activism, of course they would. I’m sure some of our grandparents and parent who lived through blatant segregation and marches for basic human rights sideeye

Like most people, I do my best activism while relaxing in my loft, drinking chilled sauvignon blanc, watching “Orange is the New Black” with my yoga instructor’s Netflix password, and clicking retweet on something I agree with.

Obviously an anti-hashtag activism stance is going to be an unpopular one around here, but he’s absolutely right. Retweeting something that everyone who follows you on Twitter probably already agrees with and feeling like you are really making a difference is about the laziest possible way to be the change you want to

speaking as a South African I can wholly attest to us having this attitude. When your country has experienced such extremes the only real activism was the revolutionary movement of the Struggle, part of which even involved an armed struggle. Noah is a political person - this runs through his work. Many US ‘delicacies’

I didn’t exactly have a shitton of respect for Jerry Seinfeld before but I’ve lost a lot of respect for him due to his ignorance about apartheid. It happened far away from me too and I was a child but I distinctly remember being aware of it and can tell you where I was when I heard Nelson Mandela was released. I don’t

I really don’t get Seinfeld’s appeal, or his continued appeal. I feel like people liked him sooooo much in the 80s and just can’t let go of their love for him.

I gave up trying to watch this at 2:15. Seinfeld is the most boring person on the planet. Also, love his “color-blind” note in the beginning, “Trevor Noah has a rich background of many cultures, colors, and languages. But none of that matters. To me he is just a funny guy.” Racism is over, everybody! I mean, race

I think there’s real value in certain kinds of social media protest, but it makes perfect sense to me that coming from SA Trevor would give it side eye - there, protests that actually made change on the most important issues of the day were all protests where the protestors took enormous risks for what they beleived

Did you really point to 2x as an example of a femnist subreddit? Hahaha oh my fucking god. 2XC is basically ‘I’m not like THOSE women’ personified. There’s fucking TRANSPHOBIA right in the name.

What? I think it’s adorable and classic. It looks very much like an outfit that William wore when he was his age, and I love the tradition of keeping clothes to pass on to younger generations.

It could also be that their parents are religious fundamentalists.
