We asians experience plenty of racism. We just tend to keep quiet and internalize it. Because culturally (especially among first and second generation) we’ve been raised to think “the nail that sticks up, gets pounded”. Racism exists and will continue to exist. It will never be eradicated just as religion does not get…

Except when we have to deal with the folks who refer to all of us as “Orientals”.
I’d argue against that theory mainly because racists think all Asian people are Chinese.
And yeah, this hardly qualifies as “soft” in the racism department
I’ve seen people making fun of this on foreign news casts. Multi-continental condemnation isn’t a little bit of criticism. I’m not saying the commercial shouldn’t be condemned, or that she doesn’t need a reality reboot, because it clearly should and she clearly does, but I think anyone would be smarting pretty hard…
I think she would have done something like this, however she would have welcomed refugees and got her messaging right. She would have condemned it from the get go, and will get the Russians in line.
And, he’s down at Mar-a-Lago because of course he is.
Note to the NYT writer: Just because something involves attractive doesn’t mean it’s “sexy.” No one cares about your boner.

This is funny to me because Austen was using the mask of gentility to hide really extreme emotions—which is what was done in her society. Marriage is important in her books because it really was the biggest gamble a woman took with her life, financial security, and future life. Women were expected to embroider and…
I adore Jane Austen and read her work for pleasure, but it in no way embodies “something that’s completely out of touch with what I read and hear about on a daily basis” for me. If anything I value Austen more for her deft portrayal of how white patriarchy has been pulling the Same Sexist Shit, Different Day for…
I’m not super active on Jez, but I am active in the BDSM community. The fantasies themselves are not particularly shocking, and i’m personally all about nearly every aspect of that scenario, but i’m about them in a consensual and negotiated way. the way they’re brought up to a potential partner is fucking abysmal. Red…
I’m of the “not intrinsically wrong, but wow zero to 120mph there” side of things. Lots of people are into that, or into fantasizing about that. But it seems like if it’s something he’s into in a knowledgeable and responsible way, there should have been a conversation first.
I mean, that depends on you and what you like in the bedroom. I know women whose panties would’ve been flooded after reading that. I also know women that would never talk to him again after reading that. He should’ve figured that out before going there. The fact that he didn’t is a little concerning. Follow your…
Rumor has it the cheerleaders were also part of a pyramid scheme.
I don’t wash my legs or my feet and I pee in the shower. IDGAF!
