Sorry but calling any segment of the population, no matter what class or ethnicity, is fucked up. Racial profiling is racial profiling. I get (and share) the satisfaction people can get from seeing the tables turned for once but it doesn’t make it right.

On board with pretty much everything you wrote except that you want to blame white people for the racism in the jewish community when in fact a lot of Jews are racist too - actually racist, not just hiding behind an already racist system.

Where did I do that? Dude you have to maybe start reading what people are actually saying rather than projecting your own imaginary bullshit onto other people’s comments for the sole purpose of making dumb accusations and flexing your Social Justice Warrior muscles to show everyone just how committed and outraged you

I did? Here’s my exact comment: “My thing is that telling people to stop getting their nails done isn’t going to work. It’s like telling people to become vegetarians because the environment. Sure, some of them might. But probably not. Instead, educate them on more sustainable ways to still eat meat, and to eat less of

That’s great. I also work in international development. And yet I still don’t share your opinions. Shocking, I know, but it really is possible for people to have different takes on something regardless of having similar levels of knowledge and experience. It boggles the mind. Vive la différence!

1. I’m from Latin America so please don’t think you can school me on assumptions about all Latinos being illegal.

Sure, opinions on a writer will be subjective but not to the extreme that jezebel would have you think when it comes to Franzen. Weiner writes popular fiction, not literature. This isn’t about gender it’s about fact. Siri Hustvedt and Donna Tartt aren’t clamouring for their work to be recognised as literature because

Where did I say all restaurant workers are illegal? I said so many of them were.

Thanks for the tips. And kudos for the good intentions but I can do my nails. I am in fact awesome at doing my nails. But the whole point of going to a nail salon is precisely not having to do it myself. And the massage. And for the record, I tip at least 100% in cash.

He’s totally a dick. But he’s a talented dick whereas Jennifer Weiner is a popular fiction hack who plays the feminist card to whine about not getting any recognition when it has nothing to do with her being a woman and everything to do with the fact that she can't write.

loved the goldfinch. And I’m not going to lie, I loved the Corrections and I really liked Freedom. I’m more amused by Jezebel’s obsession with hating on Franzen for the sin of being a successful white male author and writing like a middle class white dude. And yes, he totally is an asshole but what does that have to

Why aren’t they allowed to ring it up though? I mean, what do they think is going to happen, the cashier is going to drink the booze rather than ring it up for the customer? America’s drinking age and alcohol laws both amuse and frustrate in their ridiculousness.

In New York it's 12pm. We get around that by being super lazy and deciding that brunch shouldn't ever start before 1pm anyway.

He was the worst. Typical angry little shit with an inferiority complex.

No way! He was so annoying! I wish they’d killed him off in the first season instead of wasting soooo much time on that boring as shit Charlotte-Declan bullshit.

How broken does a system have to be before people finally do something about it? How is it that a woman who is a known schizophrenic is being bounced around from jail to jail as the only way to *maybe* get her psychiatric treatment? This makes me so sad.

Off topic but how low is the girlfriend’s self-esteem that she actually decided to hook up with this guy knowing full well who he was? At the time of the Trayvon murder, I think he was still with his now ex-wife but how did this woman meet him and decide that hooking up with a known child killer who had beaten his

Yes, you’re wrong. I think you need to step away from jez and the social justice warriors and realise that 90% of the whole cultural appropriation debate on jezebel is click-baity ridiculousness intended to manufacture outrage.

LOLOLOLOL

Some people like getting their nails done - and tip more than generously, btw. Other people get their kicks by being insufferable, self-righteous asses on the Internet. You think having someone do your nails is bad? I also pay someone to wax my bikini area and asshole and guess what? I have no intention of doing it
