Ugh. It is too early in the morning and I have not had enough coffee to explain colorism to all you people who think this isn't problematic.

So white skin is only specific to Anglo Saxons? No. Koreans have been emphasizing white skin (note, not the same thing as "white people skin") for many years before the two cultures even encountered each other. Now if we're talking rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery, that caters more to the typical Western ideal.

White as the color, not the ethnicity. They like pale skin, and they have since before white people ever stepped foot in Korea.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about white as in skin color rather than white as in Caucasian. Asian society has been emphasizing white skin as a beauty standard for CENTURIES. Impossible beauty standard, yes. Bad English translation, yes. Racism? Questionable.

Better screening, training in handling the mentally unstable, third-party monitoring of video feeds, requiring dash cams are operational if a vehicle is on patrol (eliminating that convenient "camera wasn't working" excuse) personal financial liability for cops brought up on aggression charges (so taxpayers aren't on

As a guy, all I can say is go fuck yourself. If your doctor prescribed you a drug, and your company said they didn't want to pay for it because of dubious, scientifically false reasons, you'd be pissed too.

Women owe me sex! But those sluts better not get pregnant! If they do, they cannot have an abortion and I don't want to pay for the baby! And keep paying for my Viagra!

No, allow me to pay for my own birth control out of insurance which is part of my compensation.

That is not why people hate Iggy Azalea.

Under the Hobby Lobby ruling, 90% of the companies in this country can deny you the right to choose your birth control. How are all of us ladies going to get jobs at 10% of the companies?

It's not the same. Hobby Lobby isn't a religious institution, it's a business. Hobby Lobby has no issue with supporting birth control when it is good for their bottom line. If they really had an issue with it they'd stop buying cheap stuff from China and they'd stop investing in companies that manufacture birth

I have a fucking advanced degree and I don't have the luxury of "shopping around" for a job.

I'd say you're pretty fucking stupid.

Actually for most of us your employer chooses you. You can choose where you apply, but they may not call you back. You can choose where you don't apply... in the first round, maybe the second, but eventually you will wear down and just need a job.

You know that Hobby Lobby DID pay for birth control until 2 years ago, right? And that their retirement plans invest in the companies that produce the drug?

Must be nice... in this economic climate many people (including myself) have to choose whoever is willing to employ us to keep a roof over our heads. Not a lot of choice going on for many.

If you're not one of the white people who have lost their goddamn minds, I'm not talking about you, so take your #notallwhitepeople self somewhere else.

No, I think centuries of systemic racism perpetuated by white people gave me license to condemn people who would like to maintain white supremacy. And you're gonna be shocked when I say this, but I also call out BLACK PEOPLE for doing this as well, because you don't have to be white to think that whites are the
