This is your daily reminder that it’s ok to get the facts BEFORE rushing to judgement about anything

Yes, let’s create a prank that casts doubt on the legitimacy of future claims of racial profiling and xenophobia. Fox Newsers will refer back to this incident as evidence that brown people are making shit up. What an ass.

To be clear, at no point did I justify his actions, I’m simply stating that statements from people in situations like this are almost never 100% accurate. There’s no reason for the accuracy of his account of the situation to be the point of contention, its simply a way to say “he’s lying, too!” Furthermore, you’re

He’s on the football team. If a black man hit a white woman like that in Oklhoma and he wasn’t on a football team, you can bet your ass there would have been a completely different ending to this story.

It’s also a dick move to tell someone that they have to jeopardize a multi-million dollar contract because a third stringer wants to win a football game they aren’t good enough to play in.

I wonder how many hot takes about Fournette’s heart were stopped in their tracks after McCaffrey’s announcement...

Excellent call by both players. This ensures they’ll each be as healthy as possible when they get back to work on their chronic traumatic encephalopathy next fall.

I agree, hindsight and all that. I just don’t understand the point of having the civil conversation and being open and willing to teach as it were and then claiming you were put upon. I don’t think it’s doing us minorities any favors when things like this happen, I find the whole thing to be really ridiculous quite

Truth. I do a lot of Federal Defense work, and every time I ask an AUSA where they went to school and they say “in Boston,” you’re just supposed to know. Although my brother went to Tufts, and loves to say the same thing.

Apparently talking to a living person is an issue, even if the attempt to learn more is earnest. Yes, there are resources to read, but isn’t talking to a person and having a nuanced conversation a better way to learn? You can’t ask questions about things you don’t understand of an article.

Cho had the opportunity to not answer and not write statements that make it seem the conversation went well. I don’t get how Tilda is in the wrong for wanting to discuss and learn, and I do think they could have cast an Asian and kept it from being stereotypical bullshit.

Seriously. How can so many people still be asking that question. It’s in the article above that Cho criticized the movie before this whole email thing. It’s almost like people are willfully ignorant of it.

Cho has made herself one of the main voices of this debate and was publicly criticizing the movie and Swinton. If someone does that, they can’t then claim that if someone wants to talk about it with them that they are being turned to as the only Asian in the room. She has set herself up as an expert on this issue for

I’m more likely to believe the Republicans are doing it because if they admit the Russians manipulated the election then it might mean Trump doesn’t end up President. And if THAT happens they don’t get to do everything they want.

Sorry, pizzarat got it first.

Poor deer, in the game of political chess she was just another fawn.

being “against” Black Lives Matter is a stance so meaningless and broad nobody who wasn’t a racist would bother to articulate it.

Most people like to think of themselves as not racist even though they may support things that historically are racist.

You would have thought that 2016 would be a good year for Arians’ Nation.

Also, fuck cats, I’m offended by naming sports teams after mass murderers.
