I get the impression these authors watched Shogun or Mortal Kombat and took their assumptions about Asians from there.

I hate to say it but the culture section of any nursing textbook that tries to go into the subject is often full of racist and stereotypical garbage. I would argue about test questions that contained things I knew to either be false or not true across the board. I had a textbook that claimed that African Americans…

Direct eye contact is unacceptable even between friends. Touch is acceptable between friends and family. There is no touching between strangers.

This is me. I’m by no means an Angelina fan forever, but this is definitely one of those critiques that always hits home for me because I have very few friends - like, I’d say one really good female friend - and I would never want anyone to think I couldn’t be trusted for that reason.

Terry Gross, House of NPR, Mother of Draggin’s.

Her interview with Gene Simmons was also legendarily awful (though he never walked out).

Yeah, but this isn’t true. I feel like there was even a Dirt Bag that addressed this when the divorce discussion first started with Brad and Angelina because supposedly two of her female friends where the ones behind most of the rumors that were coming out about Brad. I’m not going to play hunt and search for that…

From the article:

I’d say it adds a layer of nuance, but I was already interpreting her tone as generally gracious. I think one of the most compelling factors in Leah’s campaign against Scientology is the way she always stays focused on the humanity, showing constant compassion in a situation that could so easily turn ugly and bitter.…

Leave Ron Johnson alone. His comments may have been affected by the fact that he’s quite stupid and that might have factored in.

It might be tart, but I think it’s a fairly level-headed response, especially after the “I wouldn’t put her in that awkward position” comment.

Even if those people did reference Remini when doing those things to the church that does not make her responsible. She is not calling for violence. There is a difference between speaking out against something and calling for violence.

So Elizabeth Moss and Nicole Kidman (suppressive person) have been doing press for the new Top of the Lake season (can’t wait!). They are touching and talking to each other in photos. I wonder how this went over with the church?

“if this were true then Google is breaking the law.”

No it’s not. An employer is free to decide what they value in an employee. If private employers see a benefit in creating a more diverse workforce, it’s their right to do so. It’s a business decisIt’sItstheres nothing wrong with an employer deciding to hire someone who brings something else to the table.

Hate to break it to ya, but people in power feeling threatened and desperately trying to maintain the status quo is very much a common, everyday occurrence. I mean, how do you think Trump got elected? “Economic anxiety”? (That argument is about as valid as the argument that the Civil War was about “states’ rights.”)…

Supremacists of every stripe are exactly that irrational though. Minorities must be kept in ‘their place’ by force of law and violence if necessary. But why, if it’s their place? Rousseau wrote that women are naturally subservient to men and belong quiet and passive in the home. In the same essay he wrote that little…

“Straight” comes into play because he sprinkled a few homophobic remarks in his screed for good measure.

I worked at Google. Every single Google employee goes through 2 to 3 rounds of interviews, and at least one of those rounds is several hours long and involves 4 to 5 interviewers. Their recommendations go to a…

This is borne out by scientific study after study. Diversity improves performance in nearly everything. From biology (hybrid vigor and immunity) to literature, to business, to cuisine.

It is not a zero-sum game...until comes time for performance reviews. There is a bag of money, with only so much to go around. So who gets it?
