It’s taught here in Washington State, where many camps were, and some woman a year or two ago got herself in REAL hot water by saying the museum/education center that one of the camps was turned into “didn’t tell the whole story” and didn’t present a “balanced” view of what happened.

The 442 Regiment fought in the European theater of WWII and was made up entirely of Japanese American men.

I heard once that when Japanese Canadian men were demobilized from the army at the end of the war and went home, they were required to inform the RCMP whenever they planned to leave the town/city they were living in. Didn’t matter that they had just been fighting overseas for their country, they weren’t trusted to…

It should be required that all Americans learn about the internment of Japanese Americans. In addition, we should also teach kids that even after shoving them into camps and treating them like scum, Japanese American men actually volunteered serve in the military to defend their country. The 442 Regiment fought in the…

It’s also worth noting that George Takei very plainly called out Trump back when in December 2015, when Trump said he “had to be there” to figure to decide if he would’ve interned Japanese-Americans in WWII.

Did I not also see that same guy on CNN claiming that Islam is not a real religion and not worthy of protection? If someone said that about any other religion... and yet he and his ilk are repeatedly given a national platform for their hatred- why do they let him on the air?!?

Yeah. I remember this other good moment where there was an episode on cheating and one of the women on stage pointed out that women cheat too. When the audience acted all taken aback she asked sardonically if they thought all the cheating men were just passing around the same small pool of women or something.

I just can’t understand why there isn’t more queer perspective in this space, period. We’ve had the white gay man thing up in Gawker/Jez for quite some time, there’s been not so much queer women (trans, POC etc). I’m still waiting.

I don’t appreciate the tone of this article. She has every right to use the term. This article smacks of condescension and snark.

the word dweeb is horribly underused.

stoked for some wealthy brooklynite dweeb to tell me why she’s not allowed to do this

The weird part is that Taylor Swift was auditioning for the role of Javert.

God, when she got into (for lack of a better word) “new age” stuff (and I do think some things that fall into that category are actually helpful) and started latching on to these pseudo-doctors: Oz, Phil, Chopra, etc. gave that “The Secret” woman a national platform, she became insufferable. I think I threw something…

Also, there was the painting of Cody from Step by Step as being a wife-beater when, in fact, it was the wife that was abusive one. His wife conveniently left out the parts about her using drugs and beating their children and he struck her in order to defend them.

I think that’s the most egregious mistake of all because back when she brought Dr Phil to her show he wasn’t this bad. He was much more light hearted and didn’t take himself too seriously. Then as the seasons passed, he became so unbearable and exploitative. I don’t think that’s in her hands. But the anti-vax…

Oh my fucking god I worked in the State Street Barnes & Noble in Santa Barbara (not far from where O lives in the mountains of Montecito above us plebes) and we moved stack after stack of that shitty, awful book because of her. Credulous dingbats with more dollars than sense would by them a dozen at a time. To give to…

Hell, Trump wanted her as his VP running mate when he ran for the reform party in 2000.

Can we just have a round of appreciation here for the Jezebel writers, who have been ON THIS SHIT like nobody’s business? I am filled with love right now.
