Thank you for this. I think we all have a ways to go when it comes to dealing with race, especially when it deals with a race not our own.

I understand and I empathize with the point that you're making. My issue is with Suey.

Yes, all of this plus we never found out about the pineapple incident. I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE PINEAPPLE.

Suey started the hashtag #notyourAsiansidekick, which, while an amazing idea, should really be undercut by the fact that she relegated we Natives to just that in this undertaking. I guess #iamherNativesidekick.

Allies fuck up. It happens. People are human. The composer of the tweet should apologize for not including context. Suey should apologize for not owning up to co-opting the education about the R*dskins name for what amounts to a misunderstanding. Everyone who threatened Suey owes her an apology for being really bad at

She's not not skinny. She's a healthy size. Even more so than seeing a size 0 model it drives me absolutely bonkers when well proportioned ladies are asked about their size, like somehow being just fine is absolutely wrong.

There was a part of me that was hoping this was some sort of disagreement about Efron performing "18 and Life" one too many times at weekly karaoke.

I think it speaks volumes that the article about racism using African American and Latino examples is well on its way to 14,000 views and 200 comments while this one about issues regarding racism and Native Americans only has 2,500 views and 44 comments.

I am alternately elated and embarrassed that almost everything I voted for is "winning".

Is it unfair of me to read her comment about the Google alert as her being more invested in her cell phone battery life than a victim of child molestation?

Actually, almost the entire reply is about the victim. I'd really like not to see her or anyone else get prosecuted under US Code 1028 when they've already been victimized by crossing a line they didn't realize they were crossing. That's pretty well spelled out when I said "...unfortunately the system is set up to

"Blaming the victim is the epitome of bullshit."

I know it's cold comfort but it appears that picture of Obama, while posted in '12, was taken during the Vibe photo shoot back in '07 when he was still a Senator, about 3 years prior to the allegations about Richardson came to prominence.

That being said I really wish Obama would ensure he didn't work with Richardson

There's a part of me that hopes against hope that they just remove any Native imagery from this altogether. Tiger Lily wasn't the best representation anyway, since she's that worn out Indian Princess trope, but if you aren't gonna cast a Native don't try to tell a Native story, even if it is make believe.

The problem with doxxing, other than the fact that it's a gross invasion of privacy, is that you actually run the risk of violating US Code 1028 when you do it.

I'm right there with you. Vagina seems really clinical. I think it's that harsh V at the beginning (double entendre not intended).

I accept this proposal and think we should join Twitter forces to ask Rob Thomas politely but firmly to make it a reality.

No, it's not terrible to want all of that for Veronica. But someone as dynamic as Veronica deserves someone more than the vanilla pudding that is Piz.

I ran a candy store when Warheads became popular and they were our very best seller because the kids would see how many they could fit on their mouths without spitting them out. Whoever got the most "won".
