You deserve way more stars than you have for this superb gallows-humor.
We maybe live in the same town @Coco. Or very close to one another.
It was a serious "take a look at your life" moment when I realized that, despite how much I went on about being open minded and being totally cool with being around multi-racial/POC, I was so totally out of place the first two weeks here.
No, I totally agree, @croguesberg but I think that Scandal is the first TV show (American anyway, the Beeb has been doing this with shows like Luther for ages. Sidenote, Luther, *swoon*) that I can think of where when I saw it, and watched the characters interactions, my first impression of their character was not,…
Exactly! I never realized how skewed my perception of the world was until I came to a place that more accurately represented it.
And I was pretty ashamed of how uncomfortable I felt. I know I'm not a racist, and I don't think it had anything to do with the skin color of the people around me, but that I was suddenly…
So, I haven't finished reading yet, but this article made me think a little bit.
A little backstory is necessary, so prepare yourselves for a bit of a novel. I am originally from Arizona, from GIlbert AZ, which if you've never been there, is the rich, white, Mormon capital of the world. (I don't know that for a fact,…
I think that might be it like...thirty percent of the time. He's just bad at remembering you have to introduce people to people they don't know.
UGH THIS.
Mr_Vader is terrible at introductions, which usually means I'll sit there for two or three minutes and then stick out my hand and say "he's terrible at this intro thing, I'm Mrs_Vader"
He's a truly lovely man, but FUCK that annoys me. It's just simple courtesy.
It's kind of a bummer. I mean, It's not exactly surprising that their brand of deep-fried Christianity comes with a splash of "the gays are like bestiality!" so I'm not shocked at all. But I liked the show, and despite my cynical atheist ways, found the kind of Christianity the show showcased kind of nice. They all…
Gahhhh all of the tears.
Mr Vader and I didn't think he'd be getting any Christmas leave this year (he's in the Army and is on a very short recall right now, 6 hours I think) But they changed the dates so everyone can go home and we're surprising everyone tomorrow. No one knows we're coming and we haven't been home in…
I'm allowed to absolutely love this and be hitched right?Right? Please tell me I am, cause this is fab.
Oh jesus the tears.

Sawwy guys.
So, this is kind of appropriate because I'm a lil ol white lady and I always feel kind of uncomfortable entering the fray of WOC and feminism. Because I don't really know what it's like to be a WOC. I mean, I know that sometimes it is le shitty shit to be a woman, but because I'm a white woman, there is a lot less…
Moved because this was not the article I was looking for.......
