Sounds pretty racist to me.

Rich white males with rich families who are already in the business get the high profile directing jobs, sure. But as a *non famous* white male, there is actual real competition. He wasnt asking for advice to direct in Hollywood, he was talking *breaking onto the scene*. Because of all this…

She hardly rocks. Fact is black are portrayed as they are and that’s

Rich old white men have ruled the world for all eternity, I get where the hate comes from, I get it. But saying shit like any white man can just jump into Hollywood because of their skin color is the same exact thing as saying something like any black man can become a professional basketball player. Is it the most…

It’s almost as if Gawker has a vested interest in cherry-picking stories than conform to their agenda. Nah, I'm sure it's just that human beings who work for uber are somehow inherently more violent than human beings who work for all other companies. Because that makes sense.

“Uber’s words sound a bit hollow given the volume of troublesome incidents that have plagued the company—including incidents of drivers harassing and even raping their female passengers.

But that’s literally the only reason she’s in the news. Otherwise it’s “woman finds estranged family 74 years later”. No Rachel Dolezal tie in, no Jezebel headline, no local news interview, so clearly that’s the angle they’re interested in hearing about, that’s where the questions we’re not seeing are leading her.

Well then, how about those minorities just make their own games? Like Deus Ex?

I think that there is a real misconception of what a “censorship” is. You say that when something is missing in media it is censorship. But i belive that it is not. To make it a censorship somebody must be actively trying to prevent it from ever making it into media.

“Philosophically speaking, the lack of representation of large swaths of populations in our multi billion dollar entertainment industry is and has always been the *REAL* censorship here. Lack of diversity from the bottom up has done a hell of a lot more damage to very real people than the perceived hammer that is…

Want a game about those things? Get off your ass and make them. If anyone WANTED to make those kinds of things they WOULD HAVE.

“ We need more pieces like this, and less polarizing BS that just perpetuates hate and solves nothing. “

No, the sad thing is that an article where the author repeatedly states his bias, provides his own counterpoint to anything said by the man he interviewed, and continues to characterize his self labeled opponents in a negative light is the closest thing we’ve seen to “neutral” reporting on GG in a looong time.

Did... Did you try reading my “Practical Answer” line?

I’m not asking because I want to use the expression—I just want to know the degree of someone’s latent racism when they use the expression so I know how much snark and self-righteous indignation I should lace into my interactions moving forward with that individual.

No. No I don’t. I understand the biological fact that race is imaginary; that we’re all of mixed genetics, and that nobody on Earth is “pure” anything. I don’t see colour - I see genetic diversity. The colour of the skin tells you almost nothing about the person underneath - not even their lineage.

Purple, polka dot or green, I adore the way you wield your extensive vocabulary, CaptOtter, sir.

It’s so absurd that it only makes sense within the context of playing a game in which points are awarded for taking every opportunity possible to demonstrate one’s socially conscious superiority (and/or, someone else’s missteps).

In other words, you’ve decided that making sure people are not being dismissive of other people’s humanity is not of import in this conversation. You’re saying it’s more important not to assert one’s humanity . . . in order to what exactly?

That’s absolutely correct, however, the actual phrase Elliot is unpacking there is, “I don’t care if you’re black or brown or green with purple stripes; I’m going to treat you all the same.” However, if they were to add “white” to the initial list (i.e., the statmenet would not be, “I don’t care if you’re black or…

As I said in another comment, I have no need of this expression, as no one ever calls me racist (I’m not white), except maybe on the internet. However (and, again, as I said in another comment), I’d like to know how much self-righteous indignation I should reasonably bring to bear against anyone who uses the phrase…
