I’m Latino and gay... and couldn’t disagree more with your comment.

so are you mad that a black actor was then cast in place of a white guy or nah? Just curious where your outrage is at on this.

She has connections to a different culture, whatever. The point is Swinton made an honest and well-intentioned attempt to understand this issue and was not rude or offensive about it at all. And Cho shat on her publicly for no good reason.

Yes, Margaret Cho is an awful person. That’s what you’re missing.

Being white means nothing in this situation. Here was one human being trying to earnestly relate to another human being of a different culture, and then said other person went on to be a two-faced ass about it for no reason.

How did a copy/pasted email exchange between 2 other people involve any bias on the part of Rich?

Amy Schumer has loads of problematic stuff about her but her worst sin is being painfully unfunny.

Well our head of state is an accident of birth and our first female head of state (that was accepted by everyone, because I’d argue Matilda was but she never got to really rule) was 1558 so I don’t think the gender of our head of state has much to do with how progressive or not we are.

You are not very up to speed on UK Conservatives - remember, they’re the party who has now provided two female Prime Ministers, legalised gay marriage, banned handguns, and introduced legislation to give women the vote. It’s nowhere near as socially conservative as US conservatives, and in some cases it’s to the left…

it would be lit if the US could accept the responsibility we have in helping destabilize the region but no, never bring up how Afghanistan or Iran used to be

Mossadegh would beg to differ...

They didn’t hack her private emails. Or at least she claimed they didn’t. They hacked the DNC and John Podesta’s emails.

Naiveté is as American as mom and apple pie.

Or you could quiz dumb Obama the person actually in a position to do anything about it.

“Are you truly incapable of shame? Is there literally nothing that can shame you? Is there no act of barbarism against civilians, no execution of a child that gets under your skin?”

This has happened entirely under Obama’s watch but of course you still find a way to blame Trump.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but...they’re not wrong.

But Obama is a (D), so it’s OK. Trump though? He stole the election from Hillary, and has orange skin that can be constantly made fun of. He’s obviously the guilty one here.

Obama has become Putin’s de facto ally. He hasn’t stood up Putin in Syria at all.

Which is worse? This, or the realization that a sizable amount of humanity thinks that the people who are trying desperately to get out are no different to the very evil they’re fleeing?
