If these subsistence farmers were comfortably owning their own land, they wouldn’t be compelled to take a garment manufacturing job.

Yeah but I don’t care about Sheldon. Just live my life.

This is total bullshit. Apu is regularly shown as one of the few intelligent, competent, good-hearted people in a cast of dozens of insensitive morons. He helped Lisa understand that it was okay to be a vegetarian. He was a Pin Pal. HE WAS IN THE BE SHARPS, GODDAMMIT!

Counterpoint:

My sentiments exactly. And also the point he was trying to make, I’m mixed race and gay and I don’t understand why anybody should be offended by the concept of male and female differences. Different doesn’t mean better or worse. The common discourse is “we should celebrate differences and diversity” but apparently…

Having read the memo I really can’t see what the fuss is all about. It reads like one person’s view of a company culture and his view of why there are problems with diversity in the workplace, both the programs to increase it and the current low levels.

Treating someone differently because of something they say isn’t the same as treating someone differently because of something they are.

I’m not talking about racism, I’m talking about hypocrisy. These people, as much as I disagree with them, have a political view and are getting their AirBnBs canceled because of their political view.

Wait, how is this not discrimination? The reason why people rent a place (out), is not AirBnB’s business. When people were declining to rent out to Asians or African Americans, the world cried out and AirBnB was forced to make a statement about it.

Housing discrimination by an agent, corporate entity, or broker is still housing discrimination. That is why the company has been investigated in the past for violating State and federal laws against racial discrimination in housing. As a broker or facilitator, they are responsible for complying with the laws and…

I am not sure what the laws in Virgins are, but in Air B’nBs home State, housing discrimination on the basis of personal characteristics not related to someone’s responsibilities as a tenant is unlawful. Political beliefs are also protected in commerce. It will be interesting to see how this develops. If they are…

Shhhh, you’re about to get yelled at for being a privledged white male or some shit... Don’t point out the idiocy of affirmative action on giz, the bastion of intelligence.

Why should they choose a CEO based on gender and not qualifications?

White dudes get shit done. End of story.

How can it be racist when 9 out of 10 Native Americans don’t find the name offensive? Classic case of whitesplainin’.

tl;dr: Hispanic man kills Muslim woman, white people to blame. This is one of the most Gawker posts I’ve read in awhile.

I made the personal decision to NOT abbreviate BECAUSE it is a hurtful words. And IMO, abbreviating it is an attempt to diminish the pain that word causes. And I fear if it’s abbreviated enough, that with enough passage of time the “n-word” won’t be held up to the I same level as “nigger”, until it’s usage treated as…

Is it also equally a shame that no sci fi is written by actual time travellers, aliens, uplifted cats, or AI?

So if Trump people do it, they’re idiots. If Podesta does it, how dare someone hack him and this is a threat to our democracy.

Oh, the irony. I wonder how the CFO of Conde Nast feels about this.
