He did. About a dozen, from various backgrounds (also Asian).

He used about a dozen WOC on the runway, that’s almost 25%. That’s quite decent, a lot more than most of his colleagues.

He had about a dozen WOC on the runway. That’s almost 25%, so pretty decent.

I’ll be called a racist for this, yet I see people talking shit about my entire race in these comments as if they know me. Foh.

No, you’re right. And you’re using common sense, something the writer who wrote this has shown herself incapable of, time and time again.

Dude. When you are quoting Stephen Colbert the CHARACTER without irony...stop.

My god- this was a fucking joke!!! Colbert intended it as a joke, she knew it was a joke, the audience knew it was a joke. Kind of like when African Americans say, “Bill Clinton was the first Black President.” It’s tongue in cheek. Humor, with a 1% touch of truth.

Pro tip - do not tap any person (man, woman or child) gently on the forehead to shut them up. That is waaaayy more demeaning than Colbert’s question could have been, even if he hadn’t asked it in the most mischievous way (which he did). It was his way to start the conversation with his guest, other than asking what’s…

Yep. Anoraks and trainspotters exist in every fandom and for any conceivable hobby. But I’m not surprised Colbert’s fantasy of choice is about cuddly, jolly, peace-loving faerie folk battling endless waves of faceless, swarthy bogeys manfully and against all odds.

I feel he often plays devil’s advocate when interviewing people on his show. I desperately want to believe it’s so he can kind of be the voice of a lot of right wing viewers and give the guest a chance to explain things to dumb conservatives but he often goes so far I wonder if he actually just is this person.

I don’t know why you are surprised that a man who has all of the Valar, essentially the gods of Middle Earth, memorized and can name them off at a whim might be very very white.

No problem. Trump will overcomb.

And yet...her colleagues apologized (something I would never do personally without reason and I doubt you would either), upper management took it seriously (as they should, being risk averse), and gave her month off.

I think you didn’t read the article fully... There never really was a rape joke (don’t trust headlines). One guy quoted a popular song/meme (the quote itself contained no references to rape) and that song/meme mentioned rape elsewhere (again not the section he quoted, or what he was using it for).

Okay, but what do you think should’ve been done? Her co-workers told a joke, she told them she was offended by the joke, they apologized, and the joking stopped. Nobody is suggesting the woman should “just get over” her sexual assault. But she absolutely needs to get over the thoughtless joke her co-worker made and…

I would agree if she left it at “hey guys, not everyone finds that funny, let’s leave that out of the work place.”

Xe didn’t say it wasn’t a joke. Xe said it wasn’t a rape joke.

I’m working in a professional environment at this very moment (for the next 15 minutes anyway). It’s not other people’s job to know your triggers. It’s your job to deal with them or seek other employment. Like working from home where you don’t need to deal with people.

If someone was raped on a blue couch, that doesn’t mean it’s everyone’s job in the office to avoid the color blue. That’s is one of those things that YOU need to get over, or file for disability because you’re incapable of being in a work environment where anything might set you off.

Yes Ivanka, Cosmo readers do and should care about issues impacting women and children (and families of all kinds) which is why they fucking asked you those questions.
