Which matriarchal tribe may I ask?

I would argue this makes you not the purist left? You may be very very left as I am, but not purist. Practical, realistic, willing to make incremental changes where appropriate rather than expecting overnight change in all directions about everything whether necessary or not.

I was dumped because of my ethnicity so 1. you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. 2. You still haven’t provided a solution either.

I only read the headline and the answer is “She gets smarter.”

Said it on the last Jez post about this family and I’ll say it again. This family is going to regret the time spent in the courts and with the media. They will regret the time not spent with their child who will certainly die anyway.

All I want to do is text my ex and show him how lucky he is that he’s sober now. That this wasn’t him, and he needs to stay with AA and therapy so that it will never be him.

I get where you’re coming from. But I do think that women of color are under-represented in film, and the point I was making was that I’m not trying to diminish any person of color’s resentment of fiction that fails to portray them - routinely and excessively. I think if there were a lot of fictional tales of brown…

Amazing to me how this author got the post out past an editor. Have to be dense not to go “woah woah woah don’t you see what argument you’re making here?”

I agree the intersection is uncomfortable but I believe it’s the purist left. In this situation, Kumail was not purist enough or progressive enough to be with a brown woman(?). Read all the comments on this thread. There are a lot of people calling for asian men to be more respected by asian women, for brown men to…

Also Milo mocked a jewish reporter by throwing a party and having little people show up wearing name tags to show they were the jewish reporter and making them where yarmulkes.

HAIM’s first album was fleetwood. 2nd album is wilson phillips, but, yes, nothing’s wrong is rumors-y.

Yea I’m a jewish woman. and I don’t live in NY or anything like that. I’m in a hick region of the country. I get it. I do. And I’m not saying you’re more bitter than anyone else. I think the author of this article comes across as extremely bitter.

Look, I’m with you on all of that. But attacking this particular movie, that is based in reality, that actually happened to a white woman and a muslim pakistani-american is so outrageously stupid. Clove Hope in her interview suggested that Zoe Kazan should have been portrayed by a person of color. IT’S EMILY GORDON’S…

What’s silly is attacking a movie about a real relationship that involves a white woman. If there were ever a movie that could include a white woman without being attacked it would be this one - a muslim lead telling his own real love story.

Oh that guy who had sex with a teen.

You still haven’t answered my question though - are white women only allowed to be portrayed with asian men?

Thank you!

This is probably regional. I’m from a region of the northeast near where Rooney Mara is from where pie really isn’t a big thing. Maybe an apple pie on Thanksgiving or 4th of july, but that’s it.

Then you didn’t read Hachi’s comment that was the basis for my back-and-forth with her and then those who jumped to her defense. Applying a cultural theory to one couple’s love is amoral in my opinion. It defines them as only existing as their respective races and not as people. This particular film is literally their…

Yikes yikes yikes is Clover Hope’s interview with Emily Gordon. Where she states it was problematic that the character based on Gordon herself is white. It’s “problematic” to people on this forum that non-white men end up with white women. Go yikes yourself.
