No. I’m not American. He’s not my president. The rest of the world is sick of your country’s leadership and the fact that most of your population doesn’t seem to care enough to do anything about it. Where are the mobs of protestors outside of immigration detention centres? Your journalists barely even criticize Trump…

It’s a sad day in Ontario, where the late Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s younger brother, Doug Ford, was just elected to lead the province. Ford is basically Trump lite, with a history of misogyny whose only clear policy platforms includes tax cuts for the rich and powerful.

No, Ford isn’t a Trump lite, he’s just as bad. He’s said he wants immigrants shipped to northern Ontario to allow more room in Toronto for Canadian citizens. He made it pretty public, but your average Ontarian is a god damned idiot and would rather “teach the Liberals a lesson” and let a racist crack dealer be the…

I was JUST about to type that in a new comment, then saw yours. It worked, I guess, for a “noire” movie like “Double Indemnity” that was filmed in black and white, so maybe they were riffing on that?

You see Hathaway looking unnatural as a blond. I see a specific aesthetic choice to put her in an unnatural Barbie hair color to create tension when she’s onscreen or to allude to something intrinsically mismatched in her character.

UK Update:

The election of Doug Ford is especially awful for a number of reasons:

He’s only been on the job in NYC a couple months, but he started with that.

Letting more people of color have the same opportunities is...racist? They are the closest non-white demographic to closing the wage gap. Meanwhile Latinas are dead last. They can’t be serious.

Asian people as a whole face a lot of prejudice, discrimination, racism, and have been some of the more notable victims of our…

They’re probably the same people that wanted the cop who killed Akai Gurley to be found not guilty

Psssst...they don’t care. They just know that emulating white people in hating Blacks and Latinos has worked for them this long, so they’re gonna continue.

They’re following the path of buffer race OGs like European Jews Rossane Bar, Aaron Schlossberg the midtown racist lawyer ‘become victim when you want your way and opressor when you get the change’.

My understanding is that this policy is supposed to provide opportunity for impoverished students, not necessarily just black and Latinx students. The connections between economic opportunity and race are well documented but for the poor Asian students, this policy should actually make things easier.

When the model minority (a term created by Whites as a way to denigrate other POC) then feel entitled - we have a problem.

I love the notion that their immigrant status somehow entitles them to an America native born descendants of slaves who built the country are somehow unworthy of.

Asians have (and still do) encounter discrimination and even racism. But it pales in comparison to that suffered by black and Latino populations.

Asians are quick to pull the “I’m a PoC” card while at the same time backing policies that hold down Blacks and Hispanics. You can’t have it both ways.

Oh look, the Acceptable Minorities are wypipoling it up because their kids might have to share the hall with some black and brown children. Woe is them. This grave injustice of “giving other people of color a chance in the face of systemic inequality that Asian communities have exploited to give their children a leg…
