I hope the $10,000 was worth you continued loss of credibility as a feminist blog.

Brava. Well done.

"Commodifying women's bodies"— you're doing it right, Jezebel!

I actually created a Kinja page for it, but got a bit busy, then dropped it completely. I kept thinking, "I'd better get on that," but, nope.

Aw, damn, there goes my idea.

The last time I tried to watch a movie with my dad— Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon— we had to turn it off FIVE MINUTES into the film because he WOULDN'T. SHUT. UP. "Who is that? Where are they from? Why did he do that?" Oh, my God. Maddening.

Ooh, speaking of beef in cream sauce, do Swedish Meatballs next please!

What is it about this topic that makes people so angry at the suggestion that rolling over people is bad?

Not blasé— they are angry at the mere suggestion that non-violence may have been the way to go. The SUV driver escalated the situation, destroyed the life of one of the riders, and still got his ass beat and car destroyed, so what did he win? I guess people feel the need to justify their fear and violent impulses and

You are going to get a lot of hate for thinking that it's not okay to roll over a defenseless human being (I have over 300 comments on a thread I started about this incident yesterday, few of them supportive), but from what I saw, he was not at all justified in what he did. The riders looked pretty peaceful until he

They weren't "surrounding" him. They were motorcyclists on the road. The only person who singled Lien out was Cruz. Everyone else was riding on their merry way.

I don't think that's accurate. From the video, it seems like not a lot of anything is happening in the first incident. Everyone is pretty much sitting calmly on their bikes. I'd think that if there were drama between Lien and whoever, the other bikers would at least look more concerned or even get off their bikes to

The very presence of a person or group of people is not justification for murderous behavior. If I am surrounded by a group of peaceful neo-Nazis, I don't get to shoot them merely out of fear.

How were these guys "wannabe gangsters"? There was an accident— the fault of one of their riders— the group stopped to see what happened, and Lien ran over them with apparently no provocation. They weren't threatening him with violence UNTIL he violently and maliciously ran over the body of a defenseless man. Lien

It also confirmed what I said before— it might not be as common as white or Caucasian. It's third preferred, and far more than "no one" uses it.

Okay.

European American is quite common. Unless you know how everyone speaks, I don't think you can so confidently declare that "NO ONE" uses European-American.

The term "European-American" is indeed quite common. It may not be as common as Caucasian or white, but saying it is uncommon is incorrect.

It's still pretty bad. It's strange that the Jeopardy folks would put a kid (A KID!) at such a disadvantage, especially considering the HUGE advantage the other kid had. Adults might be expected to have all kinds of general and esoteric knowledge and would be expected to bone up on Jeopardy-esque topics, so their
