Alfonso Ribiero doing a Malcolm X impression would terrify most white people.

Richard Sherman saying "Geez Louise!"

This is not to say that a non-American cannot or should not weigh in on issues in this country, but you certainly shouldn't.

John Oliver proved himself to be popular and well-liked by an American audience before he got his own show, but nice try.

I'm not saying the only problem is with people that don't drink beer. (As a female engineer, though, I have consciously cultivated the ability to order and drink beers because I know it's a facet of life in my field.) Any assimilation-based test is going to put up a barrier in front of people that are different from

. . . . and this is a major contributor to the lack of diversity in many companies. Women, members of some religions, people different from you - you might not want to have a beer with them or they might not even drink beer. But you're not hiring them to drink beer!

I disagree. This is how companies develop a very monolithic culture with no diversity.

...except I don't hear many people actually calling for the banning of guns. It's mostly a strawman argument used to avoid having to argue against more reasonable restrictions such as universal background checks.

Color me underwhelmed. Did people really think that Twitter data COULDN'T be used in this manner? Furthermore, I think the use of "track" in your headline implies a granularity not available from this algorithm. When I hear "track," I think "show up at my doorstep," not "predict what region or city I have a 58%

It would be interesting to see how that huge picture thing works out. I can see that as an easy and almost undetectable way to discriminate against people by look.

Power dynamics, historical context, etc. Don't even start.

I love how this is now the de facto excuse for white American racists.

"Hey, Eddie Murphy did white face, why can't I do black face?"

"Well, hippity hoppity rappers say the n word, why can't I?"

Since white America has had a long, drawn out and far from dead history of racism, slavery and colonialism, I'll give 'white

Yes, and for two reasons:

"THIS IS HORRIBLE I'LL NEVER USE FACEBOOK AGAIN WHO'S WITH M-wait I forgot what I was complaining about. Oh well, guess I'll go on Facebook."

WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU

Superman isn't boring. The problem is they almost always focus on the super boring stuff about him - so perfect, so strong, can't really be defeated except with a rock, etc. What I find interesting about Superman is that you have a being that is pretty much a god walking around among normal people. He sees how

PT — What he said was completely badly put, but you're leaving out some key details here.

Is that quote what we're going on? It doesn't really sound like he's blaming women, but rather blaming his own failure to appeal to women.

I've hear this argument put forward frequently and I simply don't agree with the premise. I understand the argument and the reasoning but there's a question begged: Is it really hard or expensive to attend school? I'll grant 'time consuming' but not hard. At least it doesn't have to be. I don't feel the need to

Thank you, cedahlin001, arbiter of that knowledge which is acceptable to share, and that which is not. If only the Lifehacker editors would run each story idea by you in advance, I might not be so burdened with additional facts that otherwise would not weigh so heavily on my intellect. I could have gone another 37
