Well, I'm not sure it's realistic to expect subtlety from this franchise. That said, they know their audience, and while it's annoying as fuck that they're all like "It's okay! We picked a sweet white boy again!" this positioning is going to appeal to a wide swath of the viewing population. I know, it's hard to…

Considering it's the bachelor, I find this to be extremely surprising and out of character for the show and its audience.

Is it simply because of attraction, though? I don't think so. I feel like a lot of this has to do with low self-esteem and feeling like you'll never be able to get someone else. Perhaps, a fear of being alone overtakes all common sense?

This is another entry in the grand tradition of reality shows making terrible white lives seem innocuous or charming. Those Duck Dynasty guys are down-homey! That unhinged racism in them and that bounty hunter guy must be ironic, right? And the Duggars are so sweet with their family togetherness it doesn't even seem…

I work in EMS, and recently had a call where there was a hothead cop bragging "that was a good day, because I got to fire my gun." He killed a dog, and was apparently happy about it. I don't know why the fuck cops look for excuses to kill animals or people, but it certainly seems that they actively look for reasons to…

No actual minority would labeled themselves as "colored" but a white asshole pretending to be a minority on the internet would.

I can tell you're a white guy from this comment, bruh.

This country needs to seriously get over their obsession with breasts.

But I thought DC charter schools were going to show us to a new model for 'public' education. The corporate model is always better, right?

Did anyone ask the student how it compared to his regular teacher?

The GOP isn't that concerned about young white women voting.

Oh, it cracks me up when middle class Manhattanite white women think they need to try to educate me, a POC from Inglewood, CA, on the notion of priviledge.

White women claimed the term "basic bitch" because people weren't talking about white women, they were talking about black women and brown women, and white women didn't really feel comfortable with not being the center of the conversation.

I find that things tend to go like this: black females -> gay males -> general (white) population. Once it hits the gays, it's only a matter of time before it's ruined.

"DEAR GOD. You are witnessing, my friends, a panicked, existential crisis of the middle class white woman."

If you will allow me to get very, very real for a minute: this hysteria over basic is really just a bunch of privileged white girls caring too much about what other people think.

thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. this same debate has been playing out on my fb page, and that's basically been my response: you are thinking about this shit WAY too hard.

THIS = Justin Timberlake's entire career. Be careful though, when shit hits the fan they'll eventually sell your black ass out.

I say this as an American. We have information on everything at our fingertips, but we're too goddamn lazy to learn anything that's more complicated than a Buzzfeed listicle.
