Nice.

I’m sorry but did y’all miss the part where Tilda reached out to Marget in the first fucking place. Tilda could have googled that shit no problem. It seems like Tilda had rough understanding of why folks were mad, but she just had to use Margaret as a damn sounding board.

Yep. She was good at it, but it was standard Wise Mentor, except it was a bald white female Brit. The honest thing to say here would be: Look, they wanted a white Brit who was offbeat with a certain cachet and they didn’t want to think too hard about the Asian thing.

How is it not? She’s called on Cho to basically pick her Asian brains on diversity and racism. That’s intellectual labor and it’s a kind that people of color do for white people all of the time. I have had so many white friends come to me with these exact kind of questions, but at least they were friends. I can only…

Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…

Except Tilda does a weird, insensible thing when she says, “I’m a Scottish woman of 55 who lives in the Highlands. There’s precious little projected on contemporary cinema screens that means a great deal to my life, if truth be told.”

While I agree Cho’s characterization is off, Tilda is also missing the mark in these emails. Tilda is benefiting from the whitewashing of a character, but won’t look at the historical significance of this because she personally doesn’t feel that way. As a person of color, that is definitely one of the most aggravating…

I’m asking for an explanation because maybe I’m just not seeing it but according to the Times graph the group that Clinton got hammered worst by were Whites without a college degree.

The appropriate comparisons are distribution of Trump voters’ incomes to Romney voters incomes and Clinton voters’ incomes to Obama voters’ incomes. How well did each do with people at different economic levels vs. expected?

The writers live in a NYC bubble. They don’t know shit that went on in the swing states of NC. People who live in the rural counties of NC overwhelmingly voted for trump and they are overwhelmingly poorer than the affluent suburban and urban whites. Here in Greensboro I knew Hillary would win guilford county but leave…

Do we have income separated out by race? I wonder how much of the white lower income Donald won (I’m sure we can all agree he won a majority). I bet Hillary only won the lower income brackets because so many minorities fall in those, as Jez pointed out.

It’s because, rich or poor, lots of people just don’t like the Clintons, especially Hillary. This isn’t some kind of new development and it’s exactly why I didn’t vote for her in the primaries. Nominating someone who is already unpopular was a really bad choice.

Their exit polling doesn’t go state by state for the Times. It is at a national level. Also nobody smart is saying all his supporters are poor, just that the states he flipped were flipped by poorer working class whites. Since they graph you chose is from the primaries, it isn’t really relevant.

There is only one person to blame to Donald Trump’s victory and that is Hillary Clinton.

“There will be years of recriminations in our future. Many Democrats will, as is their habit, conclude that the fault lies with the left wing of the party — that progressive party activists did not sufficiently support the candidate or that leftward attacks weakened Clinton. But that notion hides a simple fact: In an…

Well, since Pareene lives in New York (which Clinton won), it wouldn’t have mattered whether he did or didn’t vote yesterday thanks to the indefensible electoral college system. This was his whole point about why he was undecided about whether to vote.

Are you familiar with the concept of conscientious objection?

Bernie Sanders has been polling in recent months as literally the most popular politician in the United States. Clinton diehards are going to blame people who would have voted for him, but voted for Stein, Johnson, or Trump. Imagine how many votes that must be, particularly in the midwest, that would have gone to…

Non-voters have just as much right to respond to the results.
