I’m assuming at the end he tearfully points at Pacman Jones and yells, “I learned it from watching you!”

The last time something got burned that badly, the Chancellor was given everything he wanted.
More good news folks...!
It’s different inasmuch as there are other flight attendants who *will* serve alcohol. So long as the product/service is being dispensed by *someone* in/at that location, what difference does it make who it is?
An unidentified Iraqi woman captured by ISIS and forced into sex slavery has killed one of the commanders of the…
“She got suspended for following the directions,” Masri said to HuffPost, adding that “serving alcohol is not a central duty of being a flight attendant.”
In one sense, I agree that the situations aren’t comparable. Davis refuses to act as the state performing a function of the state, when in reality the state itself does not have a freedom to religion. She has that job, she needs to do that job, full stop, or remove herself from the position of being a representative…
I mean, if a compromise or negotiation satisfies all parties then fine, but ultimately if you can’t fulfil your entire contract then... bye.
So she asked for what seems like a reasonable accommodation, got it, and things were fine. Then one of her coworkers complained, and she got fired.
Yeah, Charlie Chan is an interesting and contradictory case. His family was played by Asian actors and shown as a normal American family. One son competed in the Olympics, another was in the Army. There were a lot of progressive ideas about race in those movies all anchored by one of the worst stereotypes ever.
I agree that perspective and context plays a role but the quality of the perspective matters even more. The poem that the fake guy submitted and was excepted isn’t very good. We can’t just settle for mediocrity for us to be at least heard. The quality needs to be up to snuff to what is considered noteworthy. We become…
This one is tough for me. As an African American man, I can see why Alexie did this. He wanted help someone of color get a leg up in spite the fact the work is mediocre to just plain not good. In trying to raise the voice of someone of color - who traditionally has had and still has trouble having their voices heard -…
Now playing
I saw that when I was a kid and it was more than 30 years ago—even thought Political Correctness wasn’t what it is now, I was mortified. I was too young to know that was Mickey Rooney, but I knew it was a parody of stereotypes. I didn’t know what “yellowface” was, but I turned to my Dad and said “That’s like…
“Although I appreciate that he’s acknowledging his own power here, Alexie calling his desire to publish more writers of color “nepotism” is similar to someone invoking the bugbear of “reverse racism”—it implies that people of color are in possession of a certain amount of leverage that I’m really not sure we have.”
I am a vegetarian by choice, have a few dislikes (eggs, blech), and unfortunately a pretty long list of allergies and intolerances (lab tested). It fucking sucks. My guts have basically never worked right and we’re trying to fix that but in the meantime, I can’t eat a whole, whole lot of things. Even feeding myself is…
From one of the ladies FB page - they weren’t the only ones enjoying themselves, yet they were clearly singled out. First hand account.
You and so many people in this thread: “it’s a BAR!!! They can do whatever they want.”
I’m sorry, but people breaking out into loud laughter in small quarters is extremely irritating. One of my coworkers is constantly laughing loudly and I hate her for it. Not because I despise joy, but I despise her completely ruining my concentration and disrupting my phone calls.
