I have never used an acne wash that did not leave a purge-inducing, crusty-skin-making film on my face.

Gabby Douglas, who somehow blamed a colleague for dressing slutty when that doctor was indicted with sexual assault?

“But putting 500 miles between her and the Beltway didn’t erase the stigma. Over the past three years, Greene said she’s applied to dozens, if not more than a hundred, jobs in communications to no avail. One person told her that she didn’t get one job because of her harassment claims against a congressman.” This is…

What can you write to someone that’s suffered that much?

Those photos are amazing in the worst way.

I’m glad the cops gave a shit. That’s gotta be rare.

It’s not fear of embarrassment.

I’m ambivalent about Oliver. I love him but ATM I wonder if it actually helps women. Maybe I like Hoffman so much and his offenses haven’t reached the bar of offense that I want him to be burned every time he goes into public; if I’m honest I would be cheering unabashedly if it were Mel Gibson or Trump being dragged,…

Life experience and watching it happen in real life in middle school? It’s not a hypothetical. Stupid people like you ruin mildly offensive benign satire like Apu.

I knew about

I have never had a service job.

You said Apu is based off of an Indian convenience store employee someone (Azaria?) “hated”; I’ve never heard that, and it definitely makes Apu’s creation seem less harmless.

Racism against Asians is not...actually taken seriously and the ironic thing is Indians in particular are so invisible in the discussion of stereotypes and racism in America I don’t think anyone “gets it” until Indians are shot...for being confused with Muslims.

What do you not get here?

You’re right, but I think there still would have been hit pieces about it, especially since Apu’s still on the air.

By NOW? By any time. Sure. I still it matters what South Asian peformers who grew up here and went to American schools actually had to go through when they went to casting calls.

The source for this, should been clearer:
“Having a white voice actor play Apu—and that actor admitting he did it out of revenge, because of a man he hated who worked at a convenience store—how is that not the same thing as wearing blackface?”

“She’s a victim and survivor with her own opinion and she’s entitled to it and no one has to agree with her. But “handing her ass to her”, sounds like not just disagreeing and saying one disagrees but, wanting to go on the attack, to humiliate her.” Ok, so you have a semantics problem. I read “hand her ass to her” as…

But she’s so dismissive.

I love your screenname
