As I understand it, if you erase all records of white supremacy… White supremacy stops existing. And then we’ll all become white supremacists because those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. And as my crazy Uncle Dave describes it, white supremacy is just the bees knees. So if we forget how bad it is, then…
Adopting a pet you already know that your significant other is allergic to is one of the the most low-key passive-aggressive bullshit things I’ve ever heard.
holy shit! You can buy dogs that bite Lena Dunham? Sign me up.
I kind of read this article with one part of me thinking: white women are never loved for their personalities? We are...all unlovable except for our value as a prize in a race war?
My pale European blend of paleness wife and I, a Sri Lankan guy, are thrilled every time we see an interracial couple in the media. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Cheerios commercial or an episode of Happy Endings or Sense8 or Firefly, it’s good to see some kind of reflection of us, even if it’s not a perfect reflection.
To add to an already-growing list, iZombie. A tad older, but Sex & The City.
Jessica jones, supergirl, broad city, the americans, empire, the originals, riverdale, greys anatomy, jane the virgin, Arrow, the arrangement,
Yeah some alt-right motherfucker called me a “race traitor” the other day when he found out I (white lady) am engaged to an Indian man, so good to know this kind of bullshit attitude transcends political boundaries (NOT).
That wasn’t what her article was about. Had she focused on how WOC are portrayed that would have been one thing. But instead this piece was paragraph after paragraph of whining about interracial relationships on the big screen.
This article really does seem to come off as concern-trolling because they don’t want to come across as a bigot.
Yep. As one half of a biracial couple, I can personally attest that the microaggressions we face in daily life don’t need to be compounded by tirades against multiracial couples on screen. I do agree with the author that brown women are seriously underrepresented as the full, developed characters they deserve to be in…
The writer does mention it - to conveniently issue it a pass.
No it is an honest take about hateful garbage.
And spent much of the series pursuing Ann, whose ambiguous ethnic blend perfectly represents the dream of the American melting pot.
Thank you! That is exactly how I felt reading this, biracial and pissed.
Thank you. I came here to say this. People keep asking for stories about real people that are inclusive. THIS IS A FUCKING REAL STORY THAT IS INCLUSIVE. SO REAL IN FACT THAT IT FUCKING HAPPENED. Unless white women now have to either date within their race or no one is allowed to tell true stories about interracial…
It is indeed based on their true story:
I agree but isn’t this particular movie a true story? I don’t think it belongs quite in the same category because it was Kumail’s real life experience with his current partner and not a fictional creation. Thoughts?
I think I saw this same headline at Stormfront.
