“which sounds like something a racist five-year-old would write during a meditative break from lying facedown in the toilet merrily blowing bubbles in his own poop water”

Gross. They mention in the Indian Country Today article that many of them will stay and take the shitty treatment because they need the job. I recently watched Reel Injun on Netflix, and it’s appalling that Hollywood can still get away with such blatant disrespect and racism. But people will tell them “Lighten up!…

You have a gift, Anna.

The real Mark Twain plays the role of “dead man doing barrel rolls in the grave forever”

wait i’m sorry

Why is Adam Sandler.

I’m pretty sure their Google Autocompletes alone would be enough to give me the willies.

Bingo. This isn’t about racism or sexism. It sounds like some good old fashion corruption.

I think you’re missing the point - racism or misogyny is certainly not the main motivation for cleaning the hard drives which is probably against the law in this case. I think the new mayor’s promise, to clean up the whole mess prompted these guys to run for the hills and delet evidence of their possible wrongdoings.…

Tyrus Byrd defeated outgoing Mayor Randall Ramsey who’d been in that position for 37 years

My conservative little cousin says he will move to Canada if Hill wins. I was like, dude, really? Conservative bastion of misogyny, Canada?

At least one notable demographic, anyway.

Apparently they “wiped their computers” before they left. I’m interested to see what comes out of that recovery operation.

PETA is an awful organization tbh all of their advertising is baised on objectifying women and the idea that sex sells (even though it doesn’t) and they kill the animals in their shelters because so much of their money goes to advertising

PETA people seem to be, sadly, total loons. Which is a goddamn shame because they make good points and it would be great to have a similar group with similar aims who could remain grounded and self aware.

Like sometimes I hate people so much I just want to quit everything.

PETA should think about hiring writers that can communicate their point of view better than an angsty teenager. Their love for drama and assessing a persons entire worth based on oh meh gawd they wore fur, ate whale meat, etc. is ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with being an animal welfare advocacy group, but they…

I think it’s both. When it comes to racism, they either don’t know enough about it or they do and don’t give a shit.

I absolutely love this girl’s logic and intellect. I work for a university and run seminars on race, culture, appropiration and similar issues and I’ve never heard the idea of appropriation and why it’s problematic, presented better than this. I think it’s a shame that Jez decided to put this story on the same page as…
