No, she has not.
I just experienced this at my last job. A bunch of the bearded rednecks thought they were making hilarious comments about our asian customers and kept saying ‘oriental’ and talking about how much their luggage stinks (it was an airline) and when i said i was asian they went, “oh my god we thought you were mexican we…
that have it infinitely worse than you ever will.
Wow.
I’m a dark skin, visibly Hispanic guy and I occasionally get the, “Oh that remark doesn’t apply to you, you’re not really Mexican/Cuban/Puerto Rican/Dominican/Brazillian/etc.” It’s like they’re saying, “You’re an honorary human being because you dance when we tell you to dance.”
Evie Havok is a troll. She’s been doing this for a looooooong time and people always take the bait.
Are you fucking kidding me?! If I had a dollar for every time somebody made a derogatory racial comment, realized they were with me, and said, “I didn’t mean you. You’re different”, Bill Gates would be looking up at me on the Forbes leaderboard. And it hurt. Every.Fucking.Time.
WTF? Yes, hearing people saying hateful shit about people you love, constantly having to decide whether to reveal yourself to be one of the people they just indicated are less than human, that’s just a stroll in the park. Yeesh. Sure, it’s a slightly different flavor of horrible, but it’s still horrible. I have to…
I said I’ve experienced more than people I know, not all people of color. I’m not arrogant enough to make that claim. And it is true, I’ve discussed this issue with my friends and family and I’ve had more experiences with it than a majority of them have. But whatever, clearly you want to pull out our Hispanic cocks…
Imagine for a moment that you’re gay, but the guy stood next to you doesn’t know that, and he says something horrible about that gay guy over there. Different minority group, but the same principle.
Just because the bigot didn’t meant to offend you doesn’t make it hurt any less.
I understand what you’re saying but I think it’s a little arrogant to imply it was any less painful for me to hear those things simply because it wasn’t directed at me.
I’m 100% Hispanic but am very light skinned and grew up with a white last name (long story) but I think I’m just as capable of experiencing racial discrimination as my darker brothers and sisters. Because many white people have assumed I’m white, I’ve been privy to their racist comments against minorities because…
“When we were in residency in Florida, Brandi would say, ‘Tony, can we get a couple of vans and go over to watch the [MLS’s] Tampa Bay Mutiny?’ We would get the vans, but it was her idea. She just wanted to watch top-level soccer.”
Yes, I understand this. It’s good that they replaced it with a more inclusive play. But the end result is still that the original choice, the vagina monologues, wasn’t performed. For what it’s worth, i’m not a fan of the vagina monologues, but I recognise that it is an important historic contribution to women’s…
this is not an abstract concern. Mount Holyoke cancelled a performance of the Vagina Monolgues because the play is not inclusive of trans people. This concerns me. The play isn’t making a statement about women, or that “you must have a vagina to be a woman”.
...god damn it.
“Did you know that Taylor Swift hands out light-up bracelets that synchronize to her music at all of her concerts?”
“While it’s a great story and all, Beyonce has the best light-up bracelets of all time.”
One of the best parts of being a dad in public is the generalized expectation that you are basically a greased-up…
