Hot take: Salinger is overrated, Catcher in the Rye could have been better written,  Holden  is a jerk, and this book is only famous because it had a few swear words during a time of heavy censorship. The end.

Yeah, this really puts the lie to the belief that we don’t have racism in Mexico, just classism.

My uncle, a Dutch-Indonesian immigrant, has been living in Kingman for decades. He wonders why I call some of his views and opinions racist. This video just confirms what I have been trying to tell him - he’s lived in the racist stew that is Kingman for too long and has absorbed its racist flavors.

While I look forward to any telling of the Elizabeth and Mary story, here in lies a big problem with our media culture and representation. This is, honestly, the umpteenth story about these two. In fact, for the most part, a lot of our historical and mythic-historical movies center on English (Anglocentric) stories.…

Okay but if we listen to the song itself without the video, it sucks. Or is that just me? I feel like the song/lyrics of “This is America” made the video awesome and vice versa. Same with “16 shots” by Vic Mensa. Here we just have more bragging about wealth with a few shout outs to the resistance and more examples of…

Raymond Holt is as opposite of Ron Swanson as can be. Whereas Jerry Gergich was at heart a good guy who was just constantly picked on, Scully (and Hitchcock) are just weird, gross and lazy while also being good at their job. Soooo off.

And you are an ignorant ass-hat who does not realize why that word is being used. Stop wypipoing.

Is someone hella sensitive about being Mexican vs. being of Mexican descent? Cause OP is right - except for Puebla, Cinco de Mayo is not a big deal in Mexico. Maybe por los chicanos en Los Angeles sí, pero por los mexicanos no es nada. Sorry. I’m in Oaxaca right now and just had to explain to a neighbor what what.…

OP is referring to the infamous WHC dinner where Seth Meyers and President Obama skewered him for the whole birtherism thing, back in 2011.

Sorry, no. This is not self deprecating humor, unless this person wanted to signal to everyone that they are sooo stupid they would mistake inanimate objects for actual living human people. Why would you want to do that, especially when you are a higher level federal employee in charge of some sensitive shit?

Okay there is your problem right there. You made your original comment as if you have been teaching for years, yet you are only 33 and only started teaching post-30. So, this would mean that you’ve only been teaching for, what, 2 - 3 years? Come talk to me and give out nuggets of wisdom when you have been teaching for…

Today, I went over to a friend’s house that I haven’t seen since I’ve been abroad for 6 months. He was having a small party with the Friday D&D crowd, regulars I knew and had hung out with before. One guy who I have never liked showed up, ugh, as I had come outside to smoke a cigarette and help with the grill. I…

Farmers in Oaxaca grow several banana varieties using indigenous permaculture techniques: platano macho, platano manzana, a purple-skin variety, lady fingers, etc. They grow just fine.

I live in Mexico and it’s interesting how cacao production here is never included in the discussion. Much of the production in Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Tabasco is indeed by small households using shade growing and permaculture/agroforestry techniques that have existed for millennia. There’s also a reason maize, squash,…

Oooo, someone is being a little sensitive mama warrior.

Hahaha, like how men make generalizations all the time about half the population (bitches be crazy, women be shopping, girls can’t do math). It may not be all men, but while one is being a creep the others allow it, stay silent, look away, or laugh along. Get outta here with your mama warrior BS. Shit.

Actually, in the original article it was mentioned that Steve did try to do something about Mario on behalf of the female staff, but they asked him to back off cause Mario’s behavior only got more aggressive to the ones who complained.

I appreciate this article very much. Biracial and multiracial people should be able to self-identify as they choose, but we must also recognize the identity imposed on us by others. By ethnicity I am primarily of European descent, but the Indonesian genes run strong in me and I do not look “white”. I perceive myself…

Dylan WAS abused by her father. RONAN, the man you keep attacking even though you do not know his name, was not.
