Kanye West is dead to me after the Trump visit.

she never made it - i made it...i was tryna be funny. i guess i should have tried harder, or not at all.

Blackwashing? They picked an awesome actor to play an important role that was not defined by race.

it’s not. Nor is it Johnny Depp and Tonto. List goes on. If I received that same email from someone and you replaced “Asian” with “Hispanic”, I’d light up at the openness of the individual writing it and wanting to understand what the issues are, or what exists there... and if there are ways to improve from their end.

“Not interested in punishing Tilda. I think she’s amazing. And I think she has a blindspot here. The two things can exist together.”

+1 yes. So often we’re looking for one bad person and one good person at the end of an exchange like this one. Understanding nuance saves us from a lot of misplaced anger.

“Its not my job to teach you even if you ask in earnest but fuck you for not knowing?”

Yes, Margaret Cho is an awful person. That’s what you’re missing.

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here.

Yes, Margaret Cho is an awful person. That’s what you’re missing.

OH SHIT! Tilda came with fucking receiptsssssssssss

By boring you mean white right? Stay racist hover clope

It’s not a question of “owing” anybody anything. It’s a question of just not being a shitty person. Generally speaking, if someone asks you to keep something to yourself, the decent thing to do is respect that request, not blab about the whole thing on some guy’s podcast.

“You don’t understand why we’re  mad? Have you tried actually asking us?”

Tilda Swinton is one of the most gifted actresses working today. Margaret Cho is a salty, talentless halfwit whose chief marketable skill is best described as an ability to be unfunny in public. Who gives a fuck what she thinks? And fuck her for betraying Swinton’s confidence after she was asked to keep their…
