I was thinking more along the lines of someone who has the privileged position of not having to ever be at risk because of your skin color.

And where you lose me is saying that people faced with racism against themselves can just look the other way. It sounds like you come from a very privileged position in life.

So that is your argument. Got it. I’m sure the Pakistanis who buy comics are all in agreement with you.

Ok... now... picture a Pakistani lady. She’s just finished her job, worked hard all day, she got her paycheck, waited in line at the bank for an hour, finally made it to the comic book store just before it closed because the new X-Men is out and browsing to get it, she sees that cover.

Being a gadfly for 40 years isn’t especially useful if your provocation changes nothing.

I expect you’re only pretending to not know that cover was incredibly controversial and there was a ton of discussion about it.

I actually liked Crossed because it didn’t try to be preachy or score any political points, it was just pure shock and exploitation and it made sure to milk that for all it’s worth. I can appreciate that sort of dedication.

Thank you. Have people never been inside comic book stores? A Pakistani girl going in to buy this month’s issue of Spider-Man isn’t going to know the context of the comic, he’s just going to see the cover and see another incident of racism against her.

And people who are going into their comic book store to buy the latest issue of Batman will only see that cover and never know the context. I’m not sure why people aren’t getting this. It’s like they’ve never been in a comic book store.

And your one anecdotal example applies to the world!

People who go into a comic book store and want to buy comics are forced to look at the covers displayed in the store.

Yes. The next step after people being offended by a cover they perceive as offensive is book burning. There’s no middle steps.

grammar error

Some Pakistani guy is going to walk into a comic book store and see this and think, “I already have to put up with enough racism in my daily life. Now it’s even facing me when I’m just browsing comics,” and your response is “the truth is ugly!” You think they aren’t aware?

But to react in itself is a neutral thing.

Not unless given a compelling reason to do so. Life is way too short.

I’d say for most people, when their initial impression of something is “this is terrible,” their reaction is not “I’ll try it again several more times just to make sure it’s terrible.” It’s “I won’t try that again.”

I’d just be satisfied if someone asked her if the president believes there are child slave colonies on mars.

We’re the nation that got to the Moon. Now we will be left in the non-Lunar dust.

Along with the other criticisms, the “Hey Siri” always listen feature is, as far as I know, only available for iPhone 6S or 7 models. The others only work when connected to power. Meaning the “old” phone you would have lying around would not work with the setup you show above unless it wasn’t all that old.
