Seriously, is there any attempt being made to fix Kinja or has G/O just decided it’s not worth it?

I’m sorry, but I really don’t think it’s the job of the customer to try to plan their schedules around what times the restaurant is best equipped to handle a rush, even in the unlikely event that a customer understands all of the variables in place. I sympathize with your difficulties but it sounds like your…

I don’t know what led Teigen to so hatefully treat the 16 year-old years ago, and I don’t know enough about this to understand most of it, but I can say with no doubt that there is not one person commenting here that wants any of us to be made aware of their worst moments.

I think that cuts to the heart of the problem.

The Root with the hard-hitting journalism of going after Ellie Kemper and Lin-Manuel Miranda for racism.

“Now, back to LMM, his Disney-fied self can get forgotten real quickly, just as quickly as he was called a genius not so long ago.”

The guy who cast Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron ‘White Priviledge’ Burr is getting dragged for not putting enough Black people in a movie? I’ll admit I did not see that coming.

I was born here, but My family came from Cuba in the 60's. Though no police officer is ever going to look at me and think I’m white, neither would I be mistaken for being Black, and do not identify as Afro-Latino—in fact, outside of South Florida, I’m identified as Middle Eastern as often (or moreso,) than Latino.…

Watched Hamilton (the one on Disney Plus) last year, “wow, the amount of representation minorities have in this is huge”
Watched “In The Heights” last weekend “wow, the amount of representation minorities have in this is huge”
Opens up the interwebs, finds out there’s a colorism controversy with “In the Heights”

I am going to ask/say this in the spirit of trying to realize my ignorance and present my thoughts specifically so they can be criticized: What’s the big deal? Do lighter-skinned Lantix actors not count as real Latinx people in this context? Shutting out their experiences for being not-marginalized-enough doesn’t feel…

It’ very nit-picky. We scream about representation, and when someone does it, it still isn’t good enough and then we shit on the people who are on our side. 

“For centuries darker-skinned Afro-Latinx people have been erased from Latinidad, but we will be forgotten no more. We are tired of being maids and background dancers and will continue to push back until we are seen and heard. Indeed, Lin Manuel Miranda ‘fell short.’”

When one apologizes, one is not entitled to forgiveness or absolution.

So Lin Manuel Miranda isn’t progressive enough ? This is some real hotep shit

Yeah, I don’t get it (and I don’t think I’m supposed to get it, and that’s fine).

As for Léon, who has rightly been credited with sparking this very necessary conversation, in response to Manuel’s apology, she simply stated: “For centuries darker-skinned Afro-Latinx people have been erased from Latinidad, but we will be forgotten no more. We are tired of being maids and background dancers and will…

LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.

Every owner of every business should have to do every job/position (that won’t KILL anyone) just so they know how badly they’re underpaying their employees. ;)

She has to freakin’ cashier at the take-out counter of her own restaurant (like so many other restaurant owners I know also have to).

So we’re doing Listicles now.
