You're seriously asking me when mainstream awards ceremonies have ever been biased against black people or anyone else, as if it's a rhetorical question. When Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar for Gone With The Wind, she was forced to sit in a segregated section of the audience (and was earlier barred from the premiere of…

Apologies: I misunderstood your meaning when I first read this. I thought you must be suggesting changing the name of the parody team to "Pigskins", since there is no way the defenders will allow their team to lose the name "Redskins".

No. Those awards ceremonies exist because the groups concerned don't get a fair shake of the stick in the mainstream awards that are meant to work for everyone. All kinds of niches have done that. There's even a special awards ceremony for libertarian sci-fi.

It's not meant to offend white people, and it's not tit-for-tat. It's supposed to make them think.

Gretzydown might be putting it bluntly, but he/she is right. Your suggestion is missing the point of the article. The idea is to draw attention to the racism inherent in the Redskins' name. Yours would just look like an innocent pun on the original name without any distinct comment at all.

Not at all. Of course there was great music in the 90s, but I guarantee someone who says "they stopped making good music in the 90s" knows fuck all about music and is making a vague judgement about whatever music drifted past his/her lazy snout on TV and radio.

Haha! Every time I hear "stopped making good music in the 90s" from anyone I think the same thing: "You, pal, have shit music taste and I can guarantee the 90s were wasted on you anyway".

As much as I'd love to claim I don't care, I would love to know how she even had a $1.3m home in the first place.

Surely 3000 calories is a mistake, though? It looks more like 12000.

Simple motion blur is not the way to go. However, some degree of those kinds of imperfections are needed. One of the things that made early cgi effects look so bad is that you could pause them and get a pristine-looking image in the still, which explained why the graphics looked peculiar in motion too.

Using Firefox/Chrome? Search the browser add-ons for "Proxmate" or "Proxtube", and install. Restart browser. Try opening the YT video again. You might need to leave it open a little while, but soon it should announce that it's in the process of bypassing the restrictions. Soon, you'll be in. For all non-YouTube sites,…

Well, whatever happens, that's an excellent machine and it's going to give you great performance for years to come. Perhaps you'd want to trade up to a better card when the 800/900 series GPUs arrive, but you won't need to.

No! The only things you should even consider changing are the OS and the SSD. Get Win8 64 when the 8.1 update comes out, for the small speed increase and DX11.2, and think about a larger SSD maybe. Other than that, don't touch anything. I'd generally advise against SLi, since you're just making your PC louder and more…

That's an amazing name for a future roller derby champion.

I'm choosing to believe they meant "fly" in the 70s slang sense.

I like the breezy optimism of Has-Descendents. I would keep on drowning my single-issue children until I could have twins, named No-Diggety and No-Doubt.

Yes, everyone, I think.

Culture didn't shift that way because of anti-racism going overboard (if indeed anti-racism can go too far). In fact, a high proportion of the white people who started drawing from black musical culture from the 1920s forward were themselves racist. White people used black people's ideas because white culture hit a…
