I seriously think this is rude but still funny

Weird that the articles & comments about this are anti-Schumer in tone but the one nonchalant sentence about her racism in an article had a TON of white girls defending her. Jezebel is crazy.

Calling her family to let them know she’s safe? Calling her attorney to let her know she got in an accident? Why is it worse to be on the phone after the accident?

I come from a village a bit south of Jaffna and the freedom of women was severely restricted and all the schools had been bombed out and only the ones with family connections here and there were able to do things outside labour work. The caste system was there as well, not as rigid. But it is less conservative than…

Oh god, not only do you not know the nuance of the situation, you do not know the facts either. When she first came into the scene, the Sinhalese govt was super pissed that she was talking about the genocide of the Tamils and tried to pull her off as a terrorist belonging to the Tamil Tigers, which started out as a…
