Ha no actually I was commentating in the Huma Abedin thread. The only one having a meltdown here is you because the mean brownie told you that you will look like a total idiot posting selfies of yourself with a bindi on instgram. But carry on doing so, idiots rarely learn.

You are right in your example but you can be offensive without intending to be so. Thats the difference - you may not know that what you said was offensive but it can still result in people being offended. It depends on what you what you do once you know something is offensive. Unless people call you out on it - how…

GLAAD is shit on trans issues. They continue to lick Glee's arse despite their continued trans-phobia and routinely ignore trans issues. I haven't seen much commentary on CeCe McDonalds case for example by them. To be fair though they ignore most issues that aren't to do with the right kind of gays - affluent gay male…

As opposed to you who spends time googling to find some brown guy I have never heard of to make your stupid point that white people deserve access to every culture to trample over and steal from. While they prevent non-white people from accessing any parts of their culture and then also criticise when non-white people…

Never heard of him. I have heard of Elvis Presley though who stole all his music ad look from black celebrities. Also Eminem who became the biggest rapper in the world and even attributed it to his skin tone. And Macklemore who has been called the saviour of hip-hop despite having a worse rap flow than my grandma. The…

As depressing as I usually find anti Muslim rhetoric, your comments here have made my day.

Oh I get what you mean. Like when a school in the UK said they wouldn't put on a Nativity to avoid offending Muslims and the Mosque intervened and told them to carry on. All it does it make minorities look oversensitive. But this situation is different.

Probably because she looks like she's about to smack her errant husband straight in the mouth. And no one would blame her.

You mean if I hadn't contracted Islamism in the womb I could have been a normal like the people on Fox News? Damm my parents.

Sorry that is my fault, I read Hindu council on tumblr, clearly I got my information wrong. And I thought she apologised but turns out she just didn't wear it afterwards. I acknowledge that some Indian Hindus supported her but as mentioned previously on tumblr I saw lots of Indian girls criticising her because they…

I'm sorry! I'll go back to calling her Huma terror-din as before. Clearly her marriage to Weiner is some sort of Jewish-Muslim conspiracy to destroy Christianity.

True story.

Yes fuck the women who are able to access my culture without criticism while I am told that I'm not assimilating enough into Western society. My mother was racially abused to such an extent about her shalwar kameez when she first moved here in the 1970's that she is embarrassed about wearing her traditional outfits…

Not necessarily a rape joke - I mean an offensive sexist comment or at least one that could be construed as a sexist joke. I didn't say anything about rape. And I don't think intent matters in these instances, she clearly caused offence to different communities. People can be racist without intending to be. But I…

Um if she was such a religious powerless Muslim woman wouldn't she have married a Muslim man? As a Muslim, marrying out of our religion is always considered a huge problem especially for women and in South Asian cultures (like Abedin) its a huge no-no even now. The fact that he's Jewish is 'worse' in some Muslims eyes…

When someone with a lot of power does something stupid it is worth criticising them and telling them that their actions were wrong. It would at least be a learning lesson to her young fans. I know that 'gypsy' has been considered a non racist terms for years and this has led to widespread ignorance about it actually…

But to be fair a Hindu person criticised her initially which is how the article came about. I just prefer it when white people at least offer a cursory objection to racism rather than saying 'its not my place'. It is important that white people are part of the anti-racist movement.

I was talking about other websites like tumblr in which numerous Hindu women objected to her stupid behaviour. I tend to avoid Jezebels discussion on cultural appropriation because there are always clueless people in here. I only read this one because Dodai wrote it and I knew it would be handled better than if Laura…

It wasn't sustained by one man's argument though - the Hindu council criticised her which is why she apolgised. You seem to be hellbent on defending her crappy behaviour though god knows why. And I note you didn't bother to counter the rest of my argument. When a white (or white passing in Gomez's case) person puts a…

Maybe those white people also find racism offensive? I mean I don't think white people should always invade every race discussion but support is always valued. It also helps in that sometimes white people who don't get it may be more willing to listen if a white person objects rather than a PoC.
