Actually being epileptic myself, they can happen that easily.

Where did “let me carefully place my Power Water” on the counter guy go? I’m not criticizing him, but I probably would have dropped the water and helped the woman on the floor.

I laughed at the dude too, but more because he just looks totally overwhelmed and has no idea what to do to help while the clerk saves the day with the baby and calling 911 at the same time. I assumed that he was helping somehow off screen, like or meant to help by asking “WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO!?!” at her while…

It’s ok to be any color and wear cornrows. No need to be sorry. What’s offensive is when people call it a new trend or act like it was just discovered and try to give credit where it is not due.

This article literally states that these braids date back to ancient Africa. Nobody is ignoring where the idea came from or is pretending a white celebrity created the look. You people are fucking ridiculous sometime.

Maybe read a little further and see that the OP has graciously accepted and politely responded to all criticism before you leave snotty comments.

I don’t think it’s offensive to get cornrows, it’s offensive to pretend this is a new hairstyle instead of an old one originating in Africa.

There’s no need to feel embarrassed. Braided hair has been part of virtually every ethnicity at one time or another (watch “Vikings” if you don’t believe me). The issue at stake here is that the NY Post is implying that UFC fighters and the Kardashians invented braiding, not that it’s bad to braid your hair.

I think they (the white peoples) call them ‘boxer’ braids because a lot of female boxers do it to keep their hair out of their faces when fighting. They mean cornrows, not the box braids you talk about.

No one’s saying you can’t braid your hair - they’re just pointing out it’s not okay to completely ignore the hairstyle’s significance to black culture and change the name to be less black.

Nah, I don’t think so. Holm and Tate both wore their hair in cornrows for the last MMA fight (as have many of the female fighters for the title fights because trying to fight with any hair style less restrictive SUCKS) but “boxer braids” sounds more catchy than “MMA braids”.

And also long ago ex-boyfriend of Scarlett Johansson

I just want to call him Jack Off.

Please do not refer to someone as talented as Nanjiani as a “token”. That’s just—ignorant.

It makes me think of this quote from Belson back in season 1:

I’ve been in Tech for 20 years at some of the largest tech companies and I cannot count how many times I am the only woman in a room with 30+ men. I think SV is hilarious and plays with the stereotypes that we all recognize.

Hopefully every once and a while the show tries to point to how bizarro it is.

I buy this, though. I don’t have a problem with the lack of diversity on this show, because I feel like its entire role is lampooning the absurdity of silicon valley culture. It’s supposed to be an exaggerated version of start-up/venture politics, not an idealized version of it. They even have a whole episode about…

I’ve always seen the lack of diversity on the show as an implicit criticism of silicon valley culture. I think having a diverse cast despite the whiteness of the real silicon valley would serve to protect the very people they’re trying to mock.
