Americans are weird about where they came from. My parents aren’t from this country, and I travel a lot. I’ve met many Americans who claim to be Irish, German, French, Swiss, etc., but never any “undesirable” countries. Then I’ll ask something about where because I visited X town or I’ll say something in that native

I’m an American-born child of Chinese immigrants. While Bari’s comments (and subsequent “if you were offended, that says more about your intentions than mine!!!” response) were disappointing, to any POC, especially Latinix and Asian POC, this is exactly 0% shocking. We get othered all the time, even in the country of

Its’s ok when you ask someone where they’re from. It’s not ok when you follow up with “no, but where are you from........”

If you want people to assume you were born in the United States, be white. Seems pretty simple to me.

We do not deserve Chrissy.

Give Chrissy a weekly NYT Op Ed column IMO

When you run into your 8th grade algebra crush at the bank.

It’s not othering if you choose it yourself. They are modern people with modern sensibilities, and if they chose contemporary artists as a matter of breaking the mold, supporting Black and American artists, that’s claiming your ground, not ceding it.

My head is hurting trying to wrap it around the concept of an English teacher being told she has no reason to cover The Harlem Renaissance. Yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah, but what about the figure skating classic The Cutting Edge?

Stop being hyperbolic about the Olympics?!? You are literally the worst person to ever live on this or any other planet.

Yeah, I am kind of dissapointed they were allowed to compete as a team. I have no issue with the IOC allowing individuals in individual events or teams such as 4 man bobsled to compete, but they should not have allowed this type of team competition to go forward.

A Canadian is going to get angry? Woah, this must be serious.

I’m Canadian and for real I will flip a table if Virtue and Moir don’t win. I remember raging out in 2002 also. You’re not wrong that the judging is super corrupt but you are WRONG that nobody cares. Godddd why did you bring up Sale and Pelletier now I’m all heated.

Eh, the big issue was Rippon v. Kolyada scoring almost the same artistically which was....sketchy to say the least. But in the end, it actually doesn’t matter because this is the team competition, and the 1 point difference that Rippon would have earned for USA versus Kolyada’s extra 1 point for Olympic Athletes from
