As much as that no-hitter seemed secured, as soon as Sánchez was taken out, I was sure the Cards would score a hundred runs.

‘bat flipped a sac fly’..............to win the game. If they lost, then it’s season over. Damn there are a lot of people butt-hurt about the Cardinals.

I don’t think Yadi has any particular problem with baseball players celebrating good plays.

As a cardinals fan, as soon as I saw him throw his bat, I knew that everyone was about to take the most righteous shit on us for it, and that we would have to take it if we didn’t want to look like even bigger shitheads for it...

That’s the most depressing thing about this. People are justifying it by comparing punching up vs punching down, but that doesn’t absolve her tweets into completely harmless jokes. Bashing is bashing, and it’s not doing anything to alleviate the toxicity of these forums. I would dare to say most of the people in this…

As a person of color, I absolutely HATE this rhetoric. “Punching Up” is a useful mechanism for addressing social inequalities, but nobody talks about the importance of those punches being aimed to actually ADDRESS social inequalities. An easy example is her tweet about Breaking Bad. Claims could be made that she was…

Nice discussion about black and white people. Maybe next time address the actual situation here, which is a Korean person.

No, it’s not like saying that. That’s a pretty terrible analogy. It’s more like saying “white people once killed my people, so now I have license to murder white people as I see fit.” 

“That history colors literally every interaction between white and black people in American society.”

I think fighting over whether mocking white people is or isn’t racism is kind of silly because can we just stop being assholes? If we stuck around the policy of “be fucking nice to each other,” that encompasses all races. Sure, white people haven’t been oppressed in America. Still makes you a douchebag to be a bitch…

While there is a difference in “punching up and punching down.”, that difference is not that one is racist and the other isn’t. A joke based about race is still racist. You can debate that one form of racism is more acceptable if you want, but you’re still debating racism vs racism.

How? Isn’t it all just perpetuating division and hatred?” 

Yep, I get the whole punching up, punching down thing, but, and there always is one isn’t there, a line does have to be drawn. I mean, heck, white people are soon going to be a minority in the US anyway so how about we stamp down on racism now instead of waiting a couple of years.
Let’s be fair here, you can call it…

Are those “jokes”? It’s hard to tell because NONE OF THEM ARE FUNNY.

My wife encountered this as well when flying to the Bahamas. The airlines will require a birth certificate if the minor child has a different last name. That’s the rule.

Southwest’s policy is pretty clear

“...all while having no intention of actually integrating to this country or being an actual American.”

If Jose can save 80% of his income after food, shelter, transport, and clothing I’d be impressed.

Jose’s labor produced no economic value to his employer? Jose doesn’t spend any money here? Jose is taking a job that would otherwise go to a former coal miner that wouldn’t work for the low wages Jose works for?
