It’s quite rare to see a comment section so united in disagreement with the article. Bravo, commentariat!

When they kept saying the terrorists had been trained in warfare, my first thought was maybe they practiced a lot by playing COD or some other war game.

You also have to be able to find the carrier pigeon in use (as well as being aware that carrier pigeons are in use) - and in a city like NYC where there are probably millions of pigeons, that’s an inconceivably difficult task.

“Pen and paper found in apartment of Paris attacker.”

anything could have been use to launch those attacks like... pigeons or telegram

Did you read the post

There are many different people who work at Jezebel, and you can search my entire history here and elsewhere: I have never been a fan of Taylor.

This is my point. Asians are some of the least represented people in entertainment, both in music and television. But let’s only acknowledge that when it’s convenient! Don’t get too crazy, people, remember how good Asians are at math! They’re not *really* people of color because their skin is white!

They’re subject to white-washing in Hollywood just like other WOC, so why not?

Srilankan Tamil here. Not a very liberal country. The caste system seeped into the non Hindu populace, but its not very rigid of course. I would say whatever headstart we had died with the Genocide and the LTTE

P.S. The American desi stereotype is a clean cut bookish sort of person. For Britain and Canada, it’s more thuggish. (e.g. It’s hard to see a muscle bound, tattooed desi in the US, but you’ll see plenty in Canada and Britain) I think the former may outwardly look down on the latter, but I also think deep down most…

I do not think that the only bad-ass-esque(?) South Asian woman in entertainment right now is someone who grew up in Britain, not the US. American desis are a whole different breed from Canadian and British desis. This is a generalization, but: both Canada and Britain have large ethnic enclaves of South Asians, which…

Kind of the emperor has no clothes type thing.

Hmm what does White Kara think though

She’s obviously CIA.

Would YOU wanna be the person who questioned the racial credentials of the new president of your NAACP chapter? How bad would you look if you were wrong? I think there was plenty of talk but no one wanted to be that person who asked her if she was really black.

I spent most of the appointment asking if I needed his permission to do things. "Put this gown on," was followed by, "Should I call my husband first?"

"Give me your arm so I can draw blood/take your blood pressure." Did I need to call him first?

"Put your feet in the stirrups." Did I need to call my husband?

The point…

I recently got a Mirena, and although they had no law backing them, the healthcare providers heavily insinuated I needed my husband's verbal consent to have it inserted. "It's important to consult both parties on decisions that will effect both of them."

Note that they didn't ask if we'd discussed it - they just…

I found out recently that some doctors require the spouse's consent to perform permanent birth control, which is absolutely bonkers to me. Doesn't that violate HIPAA in like a billion ways? But at least they're consistent and they sometimes require it for vasectomies too. SO MANY EYE ROLLS.
