Her apology blows. She opted for “misunderstanding” route rather than demonstrate that she realizes that her original statement was racist. It wasn’t her fault for saying the racist thing, it was our fault for not knowing that she didn’t mean the racist thing.

Does google understand sarcasm?

DeVito is also a huge Bernie Sanders fan, unsurprisingly.

I doubt it; I like my meat rare.

So I wonder if Delpy thinks that unassailable blackness cancels about being a woman such that that being a black woman is the same as being a white male. And that’s why there are so many women of color running corporations and in government. Oh... wait...

He’s questioning the premise of NDT’s tweet. Maybe it isn’t so good that Spain spread its values through exploration.

I wonder if we know each other... Do your kids go to their kids’ school?

First thought: There are cow slaughterhouses within the boundaries of NYC?

Not with any partner of any size.

Who thinks he’s just pandering and seems moderate?

Don’t let size stand in your way (there’s other reasons not to, but not size). I’m a foot shorter than my husband, and we’ve done it.

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE 69. So much. I only do it for love but it actively turns me off. I’m sure I’ve done it in the past 5 years, but I try to block the memory.

I had kids young compared to my peers - 28 when my first was born. I felt like I was “playing house” until recently. Parenting a tween girl (daughter is now 10 and I’m 39) made me feel adult. And looking at that old lady in the mirror.

Severe anxiety and probably hoarding. I mean, it has to be managed and is completely unfair to the other residents in the building, but there should be no joy in mocking anyone in this situation.

Don’t patronize me. It has to be possible to discuss the merits of maintaining separate finances in a marriage without dismissing a different choice as suicidal stupidity.

Maybe I’d feel differently if I lived downtown, but Freedom Tower isn’t home. Not yet anyway.

Yes he has a big nose. That’s not really the point. Neither is whether you considered he is Jewish. You missing the reference doesn’t mean it isn’t there. The point is that insulting the large nose characteristic in Jewish stereotypes of a prominent Jewish figure is in poor taste. If it illuminated some of the issues…

Asking someone to “please reconsider” isn’t a hissy fit. My point is simply that stereotypes can seem harmless when we think that the prejudice against a group is in the past, but in fact anti-semitism is quite alive these days if 10 year olds are being taught that Jews are still responsible for killing Jesus.

That’s good that it doesn’t bother you. I don’t think it would have bothered me too much at another point in my life. But it bothers me now. I think that if a writer is going to traffic in stereotypes it should either add value to the conversation or be really witty. Making fun of Weiner’s nose doesn’t fall into…

I see from another post you’re Jewish. That doesn’t excuse the Nose joke. It just isn’t clever or funny or incisive - just low hanging fruit. It gives people a pass to behave the same. Old-fashioned anti-semitism isn’t dead yet. My 10 year old was recently told by a classmate her people are responsible for killing…
