I’ve seen other photos of this, and those labels belong to art pieces that are hanging on the wall above them.

Same thing happens on the reservations here in the USA. White men come onto the reservations and rape women with impunity, because of how the law is structured with regards to crimes that occur on the rez and who can prosecute them (i.e. federal vs state). The men who do this know that even if they get caught they…

My dad was one almost one of them! He was there and got wacked in the head from behind by a cop with a nightstick. His friends grabbed him real quick before the cop could get him again. They didn’t get arrested but he always tells me that it was crazy that day.

Ummm, nope wrong. So so wrong. Have you actually ever studied the Inka, or no? I’m sorry if this is coming off as mean, but I am very very annoyed by this baseless assertion you are presenting as fact. Clearly, you have never heard of the Capacocha ceremony, otherwise you would not have said something so ignorant. I…

This so much. The worst are the evangelicals that go on missions in foreign, especially developing, countries. I work in Oaxaca and I’ve seen many groups of young evangelicals out to mission these heathen Catholics and they just are completely ignorant of the utter damage they do to small, indigenous communities. They…

I’m glad to see that these issues are finally being addressed. Sexual harassment in academia is a problem in all fields, not just STEM. In my own field of archaeology, I have heard horror stories from many of my female colleagues. I myself participated in the study that specifically looked at the experience of sexual…

And except for Cubans, neither does the United States. What is your point here? The agricultural, construction, hotel and restaurant industries would suffer greatly without “illegal” immigrants, and the legal immigration process is so fucked but Republicans don’t want to do anything about it. Did you know that…

Carol should take her own advice when it comes to a “race” “taking responsibility for their actions....”

I was just about to say the same thing. Interestingly, it also depends on when the stress occurs in the pregnancy. Women who experience severe stress early in their pregnancies give birth to babies with elevated stress levels, while women who were more advanced in their pregnancies did not.

Ugh, clearly you know nothing about the “soft sciences”, because actually we do have to know science and math. I am getting my PhD in archaeology, one of the four sub-fields of anthropology. How do you think we do our profession? We gather DATA that has to be ANALYZED. At the very least this involves statistics - you…

I work in Oaxaca, and while I don’t work with the Mixe communities directly (but hope to sometime in the future as their region borders where I work now) I am happy that the high-court made this decision. Its ok to be inspired, but to rip-off an indigenous design and then COPYRIGHT it is flagrant colonialism and…

Eh. Honestly I felt that the dancing was all wrong for the video. Was not impressed by the song, nor the half-assed borrowing of reggaeton beats. In fact, the dancing was a tad to frenetic and should have been slowed down half a beat to match the song’s rhythm. I’m a big fan of reggaeton and have traveled throughout…

Does the kit also include a visit to a plastic surgeon for lip plumping?

Hi from someone who is getting a PhD in Archaeology. Most of my colleagues think the show is laughably wrong, myself personally I love to hatewatch it and see in what crazy way they were going to sex, age and identify the race of the dead person this week.

Kate! You went to UChicago too? What year? I’m 2005 (and well 2006, I stuck around to do the MAPSS program). Sorry to fan out, but its also funny to run into another Chicago kid.

Well shit what is Kate Bosworth going to do now?

This is really scary you guys. We’ve been talking about it and it’s so dangerous that none of these right wingers have considered what the consequences of getting rid of birthright citizenship means. They have been so successful at creating the dangerous “Other” and convincing the ‘Muricans that immigrants are the…

Nope. In Mexico they only use cerveza or chela for beer.

Omigod is that sign in Atlanta? I feel like I’ve seen it before just with a different saying.
