The Walking Dead gives me more staring-out-the-window-pondering-life moments than I like to admit.

It just amazes me that someone in her position isn't smart enough to realize that talking shit about other people via email is not a good idea,

I commented strictly to ask if people in Jersey see him as a caricature as well. I'm not from the tri-state area, but he seems like he is playing himself in a really bad movie about Jersey wiseguys and the blustering, belligerent politicans they pay off. Whenever I see him on TV or read a story about him, I'm left

Umm...all the time?

Right. My comment is addressed to non-minorities (white people). We know that we can relate to people that don't look like us and enjoy shows feauturing people that don't look like us, because we have had no other choice. Why can't everyone else do the same?

Obviously the producers will choose someone that looks like their target demographic.

Please tell me you're kidding. I just commented that Ocean is my favorite thing about all of this. This is amazing.

"a 32-year-old professional single woman named Ocean who makes $100,000 a year."

Yup. The first time one of my underwires somehow bent and plunged into my skin, I knew it would make an excellent shiv. Now I know it can also be used to pick a lock.

I know why the term is popular and how it became popular. My dislike does not exist because of a lack of knowledge.That the term was chosen by minority groups, and that is its greatest advantage over previously popular terms. It does place emphasis on being a person and not a color, but I believe that point is lost on

How so?

I hope you didn't read my response as snarky. That was said with no snark or sarcasm. I don't like the term, but understand others do. It is widely used and acceptable right now, so I deal. But I don't refer to myself as a woman of color. POC is just so overwrought sometimes, you know? You don't mentally roll your

"People from different ethnic/racial groups" works. I come across the term often, obviously, and I don't have a rage stroke every time or anything, I just really don't like it. It annoys me. Me. A single person. Great if others don't mind/care.
