I also found this unsettling. Emma Roberts gives her a bloody nose. Lindy says "Hey, men and women, don't hit and bite each other. Allegedly."

The Emma Roberts story is reminding me how differently we react to different types of people. And it seems to be pertinent with all the news going on right now... Young white girl bloodies and bites her boyfriend, and we simply say, hey Emma, don't do that! But then I replace Emma Roberts with Chris Brown beating…

And i was called that in New york but as black/asian women i would rather live in the UK because of hate speech laws.

This is basically describes the way Western men behave/feel entitled in every single Asian country I've ever been to or lived in. AND the victim-blamey response, too.

There's an episode of The Inbetweeners where a Patrice, a French kid, is visiting and Will is excited to use his french and tries to talk to him and the kid just looks at him and says he doesn't like Arabs and shrugs and won't talk to Will and I think that's a good example of what it is like.

That's a good point, and I'm happy you said something because I wouldn't have thought twice about it.

Perspective is a bitch, amirite?

I can be outraged at multiple things at once, thanks. Also, there's a way to be supportive without being insensitive. She was insensitive.

I didn't say that she shouldn't stand "hand in hand" with us. I said that she shouldn't wear a hoodie while doing it.

First of all, I didn't say a poor white man, I said a middle aged white woman. Don't put words in my mouth.

Second of all, if you really think George Zimmerman would have chased down a white male in a hoodie you are delusional.

The racists who attack Trayvon almost always discuss that GZ was within his rights to chase…

One of my (white) friends on facebook posted this along with the well-known Trayvon hoodie photo. I thought it was pretty well articulated.

"My whiteness will not vanish with flip of a facebook image. I will never experience the specific estrangement Trayvon and many others experienced. But I choose this image in the…

The hoodie is often cited as a reason he looked "suspicious." Only black men look "suspicious" in gray hoodies. Middle aged white ladies don't. It's very much a symbol of the racism in the case.

Forgive my anger, but I don't give a shit. I get that she thinks she's wearing it to show solidarity and concern, but really it's a slap in the face. That's because when she's done playing "concerned white lady" she can take it off and go back to her normal life. Others don't have that luxury.

Jesus, stop it with the hoodie. You are not Trayvon Martin, you will never know what it's like to be racially profiled for wearing one.

Welp. At least we know that when it comes to being an entitled asshole, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Please. He is going to live a good life. His family has a few bucks in the bank. He will be ok. It pisses me off when people say that he will have to live with the knowledge of what he did for the rest of his life. He isn't gonna be thinking about it. He thinks that what he did was right. That it was God's will. It…

I hope that he and his family are never hurt and all of them live long, long lives of emptyness... now they have to live the rest of their long, LONG, lives in true abject terror.

That's ridiculous. There's no way he can swivel his doughy head around that far to look over his shoulder. Florida juries can't acquit him of violating the laws of physics.

Good. Wouldn't shed a tear if it happened. Wouldn't shed a tear if he died in a car crash. Wouldn't shed a tear if his life becomes a living hell. Fuck him AND his stupid family. Hope they all suffer.

Yes, you should. This is not about you.
