Yeah. The problem with presidential candidates who arent politicians is that they cant actually accomplisj anything noce they become president. With everything sanders was promising, how was congress ever gonna sgree to half of what he said he was gonna do? Trump can’t do what he pledged either.

I lost my shit when GW was elected. Like, he was clearly an idiot but apparently relatable? And now we have a guy who is not only a moron but has zero experience and doesn’t want to learn. But he’s not an elitist so, ok, let’s vote for him. What the fuck is wrong with us?

Dazed and Confused, , man. Story of so many dude’s lives.

White supremacists have been an existential threat to POC since this country’s inception? They have been an existential threat to anyone not white and Protestant since before the United States existed. Let us not forget that it was a debate on whether Catholics and Jews would be allowed to vote in the US - Black…

Yup. And I am sure the fact that the whole word, almost literally, knew about his affair had to be brutal. Bad enough to know, but EVERYONE?

I don’t think he ever stopped seeing Camilla, no? It was more like he cheated on Camilla with Diana than the other way around. It was a shitty way to treat the mother of your children. But I guess they are married and it is all good

This is strange because I honestly thought she was a white girl and thought it was strange that she was talking about white people as a “you.” Also, while it was fucked up she was fired for speaking her mind, I am surprised she was talking about L’Oréal just being about profit. It’s an international corporation. That…

I was gonna say the same thing. India, China....there was racism long before Europeans were there. Europeans just exacerbated the problem.

I am always in utter terror that when I am readying myself for a date, I, like Cher Horowitz, am prettying myself up for a date with a gay dude. It has happened a LOT.

I conducted surveys over the phone for 5 years, and I’ve been doing mental health counseling for 5 years, both requiring collecting demographics for all people. So I guess I should just stick with 10 years.

I think Tina Fey’s point was that she wasn’t white “enough.” And I know what she means - in NY, I am white, white, white. When I was in Poland, I stood out as not really being white.

Huh. Middle Eastern? I always thought she looked like a white girl, Greek or Armenian.

Yup

Selena Gomez’z dad is from Mexico and her mom is white American, right? So isn’t she technically white and Latina? I always think she looks like a white girl to me.

I think race is partly contingent on when and where you live. Like, I have a friend who is from Venezuela and considers himself Latino. But here in NY, he is just “an Asian guy.” Meanwhile, I know someone else who is American, mom is from Korea and dad is from Wales. In the US, people think she is either Asian or…

Well....yeah. I, mom, dad, brother, and I are Ashkenazi Jews. When my dad’s parents were young adults, they were not considered white. Like, at all. They weren’t considered Black, but there were a lot of places they couldn’t go just because they “looked Jewish.”

It definitely does.

Eh. Part of my job involves asking people what their race and ethnicity is. So first I ask race, and some people say Asian, others say white, others say Black. And some say Hispanic. So then I have to go through the list of “races,” and people who said “Hispanic,” usually say, “but..I’m Hispanic” and then i have to be…

I mean, I grew up in NYC and was in hs in the Bronx when JLO first hit it big. And I knew a lot ofPuerto Rican and Dominican girls, and they just thought she was pale, not that she was white. But maybe that was just where I grew up?

There are Caucasian people who are from South America, Central America, the Caribbean. Some Caucasian people have darker skin, like Kim Kardashian. JLO is not Caucasian and does not look Caucasian - she just has pale skin.
