@shananigans: Speaking Spanish does not a POC make. Being latin doesn't negate whiteness.

@shananigans: My question is: Is Nina Garcia a person of color?

@coffeeandkombucha: I remember this and that is why I'm not surprised by this statement.

@MakeFetch: You are not alone in this. I rewatched the whole series again this summer and the Anna/Sydney story still bugs me. I miss Sark . . . .

@Orora: I think my black girl powers have saved those kinds of people from meeting me and being verbally eviscerated. Some of my friends might have come across those people in college, but I was always never around when those people came out.

@erin001: This is an issue of a lot of contemporary vampire literature. Sex and vampires. I don't knock it. True Blood, baby. Although TB has the sense to not give their undead, you know, working reproductive systems because what would be the point of turning if they could just have kids.

@kmsyes: Ah, I have serious Justin Timberlake beef. He can stay gone.

As an umeployed grad student I would gladly wear those pants for $500. Is this $500 a one time deal or is it like a weekly thing?

@Diamante: Neither do I.

@Not-Shattered: Racism isn't just burned crosses on lawns and racial slurs. It boggles my mind that people think that since they don't actively seek to (physically/emotionally) hurt people of color that they're not being racist when they use stereotypes that have ostracized them from certain segments of society to…

@ChildBride: Truebies (?) . . . well that's what the main cast was called when they had the "Truebies and Newbies" specials. I don't think there is one, but then again I only watch the show.

@Me.Yes.Me85: Hmmm . . . I really meant sexiest. I didn't notice that that second "e" magically disappeared.

@Ack: Exactly. I can't figure out why some people are having a hard time with this.

@Dialogue_Dub: Completely off topic, because this topic makes me angry, but Malcolm X is one of the sexist men to ever exist to me. I love Denzel in this movie.

@Orora and @mannequin: Explain to me how the thought of telling someone that a black person committed a crime against you because it seems more believable is not conscious racism? You're working under the belief that because black people are so socially maligned that it makes your story more credible. You're relying…

@dandelionbrowne: I think you mean your yes-yes place.

The other guys are not registering for me, but Mehcad looks insanely like my best friend so I'm rather attached to him, if not simultaneously attracted and unattracted to him.

@sequined: Never listened to Biggie, huh?

@Uncommon_Whore: My dad once told me he wanted to put me in an all girls Catholic high school (we are not a religious family) because I was boy crazy.

So, I'm hoping I'm not the only person here who used to cot-hop in preschool. I was definitely not one of those girls (or kids) who thought the opposite sex had cooties. I always thought that idea was stupid. I was also the girl who wrestled with the boys before and during my tomboy phase because, while I liked them,…
