Yeah, I think I was off the mark and based my opinion off a glib response from a flight attendant. Didn’t research it offline. Should have. But if it wasn’t based on an actual person, the quality of the portrait doesn’t matter. It’s still just “an eskimo” which- is not the same as saying “an Inuit”- and would be like…

Interesting. All I know is when I asked, “Who is on the tail?” the flight attendant said, “an eskimo.” Thanks for the info.

A little curious as to why people here seem to doubt that an airline whose mascot/logo is “an eskimo” (yes, a caricature of an Inuit person, not an actual person or historical figure) would act in a prejudiced way.

Well I know what triggers white people- someone probably called him “racist,” which as we all know is far worse than anything a minority could ever experience!

Have any non-white folks seen this movie?

Apparently, she was seen by “two journalists.”

What about using “family cloth”

I started seeing this lady’s name pop up recently in relationship to LGBTQ and other social issues. Why? I seem to recall some controversy starring her years ago. Is it all because of her weird Dita Von Teese-appropriated look?

A company called Lime just introduced these here in Denver. They’re having similar challenges. I admit when I saw one last weekend I was annoyed that it was just sitting in the middle of the sidewalk. When they introduced dockless bike shares in Aurora, a colleague told me people left bikes all over, including on…

The comments on this post (thankfully grays) are a perfect illustration of how people are ready to attack black women just for existing. Good job, trolls!

I have no intention of wearing any makeup when I camp this weekend! But clean hands/face washing I agree are a must. And tooth-brushing before bed and after waking up.

Imagine what people say when you’re a woman with a non-white-sounding name married to a white guy. “You should’ve changed your name to his! His is better.”

This shit is irresponsible and shows how god awful sex ed is not just in this country but in all the countries where we should know better.

I mean, the lyrics in Ignition are like juvenile dog whistles- “toot toot!” “beep beep!” These are sounds you teach your baby.

I needed to see this today. Thanks for the write-up.

I suspect you think Tarantino is an original enough thinker that this movie will differ significantly from all his other films?

Whoa I just googled him and I thought from the results he was an Indy racecar driver?! Is that what it’s like to get old?

Yeah! This privileged, out-of-touch white woman had a black friend! Well, employee. But still. And she supported women! Except her husband and son, who had actual, real legislative power, didn’t. But still! Shame on anyone who doesn’t revise history to honor this person’s made-up accomplishments.

Based on some of the responses I see here, I guess people do think you’re being a dick. But you’re right. To do those things with a kid like some commenters are suggesting sounds like you’d have to have a pretty sweet salary and life. And hadn’t drop $20K out of pocket for a baby.
