That’s Extremely Worrying: The US School System
“She’s a ‘gender equality t***. She’s obsessed with race”.
Markle’s “seed” will “taint our royal family,” and that “[t]his is Britain, not Africa.”
waiting for the first #teamdog comments to come through... they always show up.
I’m here for this. It used to strike me as odd that my grandmother, a black woman born in the 30's, had a collection of Mammy and Prissy dolls. Now I’m seeing that this was probably because she wanted to honor women who looked like her and broke down barriers, in whatever way that was. Duh.
We won’t have to obsess much longer about seeing Black Panther in theaters. Black History Month is approaching and…
“a self-taught geneticist who argues in favor of child rape.”
Snowpiercer isn’t a train that’s easy to get off of, as TNT’s latest TV project attests.
I really need the IKEA Family card to be digital or accessed through a phone number or some shit, because my husband and I never remember to bring the fucking orange card whenever we go to Ikea. I need that free cup of coffee, dammit!!
I think just blotchy. I get that way if I am hot.
Something tells me the Palins reach for a gun when they notice a spider in the house.
He got fired because he created a hostile work environment with this memo. Of course he just thinks of it as reverse discrimination because he’s not free to spout discriminatory ideas or support discriminatory hiring practices based on his stupid, pseudoscientific ideas about women and people of color.
Well, according to these guys, when a white man gets a position it’s because he was objectively the best choice for the position. If a woman/minority gets the job, then it’s because they’re a diversity hire. See: every white guy on reddit griping about how terrible all their tech “diversity hires” are as proof that…
It’s not unheard of for companies to contact interview women who they have no intention of hiring, and sometimes who they know have no intention of moving jobs, so they can say they interviewed women.
I love this anecdote so much because you’ve aptly described what happens every fucking day at places like Google to the point I bet those dudes would be horrified at your comment.
The reason young women and girls aren’t becoming experts in STEM is because they don’t want to get beat up by boys and young men and men. I’m serious. I’ve watched 5-12 year Olds stand in line to use the robotics for the first time and all the boys shoved to the front and the girls spent a few minutes watching their…
Fuck this douchebag. He would still be employed and thriving at Google if he hadn’t circulated that offensive memo via company channels. He didn’t lose his job because Google is prioritizing minority hires, he lost it because he wrote and disseminated a backwards-ass diatribe. If it wasn’t so frustrating, it would be…
While I agree (and it would be a little more understandable if this was just some random black kid IRL who decided he liked that sweatshirt), this still isn’t the sort of thing you’d want to take a chance with online; put the black kid in literally any other of the sweatshirts, and use a white kid (or really, just NOT…
