“In a world without white people that Jeong was born into, the 50s sure would have worked out a lot differently” True because 1. No Hitler or Axis powers for Japan to join. 2. No Russians seizing control of Korea during WWII 3. No Americans dividing WWII Korea between America and Soviets by drawing a line they later…

The sign of a bigot is someone who thinks “the same standards” means you can’t make fun of white people’s history of benefiting form discrimination and violent oppression

Amen. It is disturbing at how so many white people now excel at denials and false equivalence. I once got caught in the middle of enraged trolls tweeting at Sarah and it was all specific insults, threats and racial slurs that connote a threat of violence.

It’s not making excuses to give a diploma to students who have completed school, often in terrible stressful conditions. It is cruel and bullying to withhold that diploma for…

Kids who have completed high school have earned their diploma. Full stop, no questions. If anyone can get a city college acceptance letter this is an empty symbolic gesture, a waste of resources and time and it’s even more obscene to hold someone’s diploma hostage to force them to do it. And if the requirement is they…
