I think my life would end if I ever became lactose intolerant. Give me cheese or give me death.

To clarify: enjoying ethnic food is not the problem. The problem is all the preening and congratulating white people do about it.

yep. they don’t realize how racist it is for them to declare that the poc character racial identity was not mentioned. that’s one thing i dislike about white authors: you can go an entire book without them mentioning “white” but they’ll be sure to mention every inauthentic poc character’s race.

The author and critics are saying the character is Korean American and not just Asian so you may have missed something.

I’m pretty sure Matt Damon knows when diversity is an issue.

Your name is stupid to someone else, somewhere.

ANYONE? Wow. She can only be described as a woman with very discriminating tastes, yes?

I was really hoping someone would be so self-involved as to turn a larger issue into an anecdote about a unique personal experience that does nothing to change any of the points made in the post. Thanks!

I’ve spent dozens and dozens of hours in a Chinese restaurant in my life. As my family was acquaintances with the owners of one and we had a tradition of bringing our big Italian family there every Saturday after early mass (4pm) for a get-together and stayed until 11, 12. And the owners kept welcoming us as they…

It’s called makeup. You probably wouldn’t recognize her without it.

“It was like he was being cast in a role, that he was a talentless kind of meathead, with his whole relationship with Jennifer Lopez.”

I do not understand and never will understand why fraternities and sororities continue to exist. I just don’t. I think what I really don’t understand the MOST is why anyone WANTS to go to these parties. I’m old now, for sure, but even when I was in college it just didn’t appeal. I don’t get it.

I have done it exactly one time. The BF and I were out at the coast, and we took some in the hotel. We then listened to music, drank some wine, and had an incredibly frank conversation about all the things in our sex life that weren’t working and how to fix them, and then we tried a bunch of them. It was kind of…

We don’t flame - we love you! We just want pets and rubs. And oh, hey if you have any bacon or cheese or really just about anything vaguely resembling food, we’re into that too....

1. Taking off your shoes indoors is not ridiculous. It’s like washing your hands after going to the toilet. If I ever see you leave the toilet without washing your hands, I certainly wouldn’t want to shake your hands, rude or not.

Sure, as soon as English speakers stop pronouncing ゴジラ as Godzilla, 東京 as Toh-kee-oh, and 札幌 as if there is an English “r” in it.

No b/c Nick Jonas is firmly in “Adult” territory. He has already been able to vote and is legally allowed to drink alcohol.

Nobody on earth can come off looking even halfway decent if they are legitimate millionaires who make public statements that seem to look forward to or relish abusing people who actually work for a living who “try” them (try them how? Flight attendants are in a service profession, if they’re denying you something or…

Do we think Azealia Banks is funny or entertaining, because to me she comes off as insufferable, bordering on unhinged. She's like a god-damned time bomb, but not in a fun, Kanye West kind of way.

I make about 2000 a month—which isn’t a ton, but it’s a lot better than I’ve ever done in my shitty 26 years of life—and after rent, bills, student loan payments, therapy (which the therapist is already seeing me at 50% of her usual rate), the inevitable couple of nights of takeout when I’m on my period, and maybe a…
