I hate that song and I hate Idina Menzel. Which is blasphemous around here and already got me in trouble with the Idina-stan jezzeloonies once before, but I'm feeling frisky today so have at me, bitches.

Last sentence of my original comment: "I'd say it's more a woman thing than a race thing."

That autopsy report is public. So are all or most autopsy reports, if I'm not mistaken. The same goes for 911 calls. All the paper did was describe the contents of a report that is in the public domain. I understand her family being upset but at the same time, I don't really have an issue with what the paper did. And…

And the minute disturbing shit gets published, people flock to it like bees to honey. That's not the journalists' fault.

You don't deny the racism, but I think denying the racism by saying endorsements are looks-based and not race-based is too reductionist.

Do you have reading comprehension issues? Go back and read what I said. I said race isn't the only factor at play here. You've just wasted a perfectly good gif for nothing.

You're right. Though she gets highlights sometimes and looks very caramel blonde in some photos. She's got that sort of golden brunette colouring that Jennifer Aniston has.

And I think you're missing the point in the sense that you think that I agree with the unfair standards of beauty and the fact that frankly mediocre players (by professional tennis player standards, of course) like Kurnikova and Sharapova are raking in millions in endorsements and are more famous for their looks than…

Of course she's attractive. She's also an amazon and doesn't fit conventional beauty standards, because of race but also because of her amazon-ness. And I agree that race plays a part but my point is, it's not JUST a race thing because if that were the case, why weren't Mary Pierce and Martina Navratilova being…

Thank you!

My point is that it's not JUST a race issue, since other white players are also affected by the same thing. Do you have reading comprehension issues or are you just that obtuse? Because if it were just a race issue, then Lindsay Davenport should have been a fucking sex symbol.

I agree they intersect. The point is it's not just a race thing because other white female players have also lost out on huge endorsement deals because they weren't conventionally pretty, the Williams sisters aren't the only players that has happened to. That was all I was trying to say.

Martina Navratilova is blonde, thin and white, and didn't make her millions by posing in a swimsuit and selling perfume. Neither did Amélie Mauresmo or Mary Pierce, who are also blondes. Ivanovic gets a lot of attention for her looks, and she's a brunette. So no, it's not just about being blonde.

Indian Wells is probably the low point of modern tennis. It was a fucking travesty. Yes, the Williams sisters are complicated, and their father can be a dick, but many other players (usually male) have been just as bad or worse and haven't faced the amount of abuse as the Williams. It's undeniable.

No, but the killing her parents part does.

Exactly. It was never a comment about fashion.

Brunch = Breakfast + Booze.

Blasphemy. According to my mom, I loved eggs from the second I tasted one. And a bite of egg bursting with warm, runny yolk is pure heaven.

Why exactly should someone be an ally? So they can be on their toes all the time, practicing "constant vigilance?" Gawd, why would you want to replicate the dynamic of an abusive relationship?
