It’s pretty fucking disappointing to see an article about how boring it is reading about feminist weddings on a feminist website. Especially when the bride IS such a kickass, vocal, smart feminist.

“Reading About Feminist Weddings Is Exhausting”. Believe me, it isn’t anywhere near as boring as reading about someone reading about feminist weddings was.

I’m going to get eviscerated for saying this, but here it goes:

I mean, just to be clear, you admitted that the “story didn’t sit right” with you yesterday, but still wrote it anyway? Like, your gut told you this might be some sort of hoax, but decided to take the risk of publicizing anyway? Probably, because, you know, pageviews.

You totally fell for a hoax without doing your basic legwork or using some journalistic common sense, and now you’re trying to cover your tracks and hide your shame by lashing out at the band. You yourself are taking no responsibility what so ever for your part in perpetuating this by being a bad journalist.

“Yesterday, we told you about YACHT, a Los Angeles-based band and romantic duo who said a sex tape of theirs had been stolen by someone who was planning to circulate it widely. It was a hoax, and they tried months ago to get our company in on it. This is fucking gross.”

Well, many of them do! But there are reasons (history, population numbers) why anti-black racism gets special attention in America, and that’s not a good or bad thing—it’s a result of our country’s particular racial dynamics. It shouldn’t diminish discussions about racism against non-black PoC, but sometimes those…

but there’s also black racism against other POC which can’t be denied (i.e. two black nurses making dick jokes loudly to the entire waiting room in Chicago about my baby’s Chinese surame...classy!; NYC black police officer responds to my husband being beaten up and stands there watching....does not arrest the…

Yeah, I think in America, people tend to think of “racial issues” as concerning white people’s racism against black people. And because that’s the kind of racism that tends to get thought about and talked about most (even though it’s still not talked about nearly enough), I think that probably causes some misplaced…

Orange you glad you couldn’t get into Georgetown?

He brought out Asian kids and made them stand there cluelessly while he made those jokes. That’s just shitty. Two kinds of racism don’t cancel each other out - I mean, those kids weren’t the Asians demonstrating for that ass.

Chris Rock is incredibly funny. He’s also had a long history of telling jokes that are racist, misogynistic, and homophobic. And now? He’s showing a lot of cracks, in that he’s kind of dumb.

Can we get a condensed clip of Asian people reacting to the jokes at the Oscars as well?

I’m just glad white and black people could finally come together over mocking Asian people.

The US government paid $20,000 to each victim of the internment. That’s peanuts compared to what was taken from the internees. My grandfather lost millions in actual assets, not including his time and his forced labor.

“this is one of two generations growing up as only children”

I’m Chinese-American, and its so funny to me how each countries media reports on the other. In China, where women could own property and divorce hundreds of years before their western counterparts, they see American restrictions on abortions and birth control, the gender pay gap, rates of sexual violence, etc as…

I FaceTimed with my 5 year old nephew after he saw the movie, and he said “I want to have the Force and fight like Rey!!” Seeing him idolize a female character in a sci-fi action movie literally melted my heart into 100 tiny feminist pieces.

Exactly, she was a strong female character without having her gender be something ever even raise in context of her being strong.

Watching Rey's face light up when she force grabbed the light saber was way more emotional for me than I expected.
