I don't think we'll see that, but Curly Girl has largely made it acceptable for white women to rock their naturally curly hair, and plenty of women (e.g., women of Greek extraction) have curls. Obviously, we don't have the baggage and racism and extra bullshit to deal with that black hair has, though, so they're…

Ah, yes. Why I love the far Left so much: We always, always make the perfect the enemy of the good, thus alienating a metric shitonnne of people in the process.

These aren't even remotely the same. Read a book on Latin America, people. Please.

You strongly implied that they got was coming to them for being assholes and then EQUATED drawing a tepidly offensive cartoon with murdering the fuck out of innocent person because you don't like what they have to say. Oh, wait, I'm sorry. Murdering someone is only slightly more of a crime in your eyes: "bigger…

What an amazing combination of SJW ignorance and arrogance. It's a given among Latin American scholars that bribery/corruption at a level utterly unknown in the West is a basic part of the system in many Latin American countries. One such specific form is known as "clientelism"

Yeah, it's not a stereotype, but a well know fact among every Latin America scholar. I guess all those papers by scholars I read are racist!

I've posted this before, but Knox absolutely is a victim of sorts. This is from a Rolling Stones article:

Yep. I can't believe that was even written down.

I probably totally am, but it's definitely rare for there to be a lady this large, at least of the stuff *I've* seen in different genres. That's really all I'm saying. The image I'm used to is Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Aliyah, Missy Eliot, Eve, Lady Twerk, etc.

It's too funny, right?

Right?

Nope! See my response above.

Not even close. What I'm saying is that it's incredibly jarring because overwhelmingly, men and women in rap videos are more athletic looking than not (ESPECIALLY female rap artists), and that plays into the sort of rap image. Fit and athletic. The jarringness of this against decades of rap music artists mostly…

Same. I liked the song for what it is, and could definitely imagine it getting play on the radio!

Since we're doing that whole sexy, smart Brit badboy thing:

Firstly, I'm well aware of the issues regarding immigrants in those communities, hence why I said, multiple times, it's complicated.

Lain? I'll have to check it out

My Summer of Love? I have it on my watchlist, but haven't gotten down to watching it yet. It totally sounds like some of these anime already.

I LOVED watching Utena as a high schooler. It was amazing, beautiful and strange (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, folks) and it's true that Utena is so much more clever than we realize. I recall there being a scene where the animator included a really famous Western painting - there are so many little allusions like this that are…
