And a lot of those comments don't even take into account cultural differences. I'm Indian and Hindu so our weddings are 3-4 days long and usually around 400 people. I had a "bare bones" by Indian standards wedding, it was "only" 200 people and 4 events but it still cost around $50K. Weddings are more about the…

She's slept with both but i'm mildly interested in the 35 year old bartender who can't seem to get it together, lies about everything and rarely keeps it in his pants. I can fix him.
The maid does speak english though. And she played them all for fools...
Because tonight I'm apparently totally that person, I have to mention that it turns out the hispanic woman in the bunker did in fact learn English. She just pretends not to know it.
But the Native American subplot works because it's written by Natives on the writing staff, and the parents are played by Natives, the references to the Lakota are researched and respectful, and the jokes are a lot more about Jane Krakowski looking all 80's than looking Native American. When writing about race, isn't…
You do realize the rape rate per 100,000 is actually significantly higher in the US and UK than it is India, right? Of course you do.
Anyone get the urge to announce they are excited to share they are not pregnant on Facebook? I feel like I've been inundated with pregnancy announcements. I would like to announce my nonpregnancy, unless you count the dissertation I am trying to birth....and should be working on...instead of reading SNS.
I think there's criticisms to be had, but I think the show does try to subvert some of these stereotypes. Dong, though good at math (which the show addresses as a stereotype, but true in this case), is also super kind, funny, and a romantic interest. I think that's a huge deal—the only other Asian male love interest…
If you mix anything you get that. You ever saw half black half white people? I've known a few they get people talking spanish to them all the time. There is actually a logical explanation for that. Latinos are a mixed bag of everything. African slaves, natives, europeans, and even some asians. That's how you get most…
Speaking of spin offs, if they aren't setting us up for the world's most epic "Sally draper goes to college and becomes a radical feminist" journey as a spin off, I don't know up from down anymore.
Totally off topic but she fucking stole Scrooged from Bill Murray, don't bother arguing with me these are facts. All fairies should be girlie crazy ass sadists.
What's dumb about the two bachelorette schtick is that they pretended to base it off of a torn audience. But when Chris Harrison polled the audience, Kaitlyn was clearly the favorite. I think they are just REALLY set on Britt being the bachelorette.
How bizarre was it when Chris Harrison kept asking the audience what team they were on, and it was pretty unanimously in Kaitlyn's favor, yet he insisted that it was an even split? I'm actually surprised the producers didn't tell the audience to do half and half.
Chris Harrison was really reaching with "Bachelor Nation" being divided over Britt and Kaitlyn. The studio audience clearly favored Kaitlyn by a long shot. They are keeping Britt because she's most women's worse nightmare as competition: she's a MPDG. Also, Britt is totally the type of woman who acts like she is into…
It's not a problem until it happens to me.
There's always a girl on The Bachelor who signed up for this show but can't handle the premise and implodes because everyone else is flirting with/kissing HER boyfriend. This season, it's Britt. The second she realized there's a chance she may not win she bolted, but not before trying to manipulate Chris into begging…
I find Arquette's approach to feminism problematic because it reinforces the notion that there is competition among marginalized groups. The fact is that the median annual earnings of black men is 75% as a precentage of the median earnings for white men; Hispanic men earn 67% of white men's salary; white women? 81%.…
I know I'm in the greys but this is actually an area i'm studying in detail at the moment so I thought I'd throw in my two cents.
