That's my issue with it though, if people are going around putting these relationships on a pedestal and talking about them incessantly, then they still aren't normal. If they were normal, no body would be saying anything about them (good or bad) and it would be a non-issue, but this isn't the case.

I'm the product of an interracial relationship and grew up in a community where interracial relationships weren't uncommon, so I'm used to seeing interracial relationships regularly. What I've noticed nowadays though is that people seem to like to put their interracial relationships on a pedestal to make it seem like…

I agree that its a sad sad reflection of state and regional racial demographics, but my original comment was just about comparing that percentage to historically white colleges/universities overall because the OC mentioned it seemed like a small percentage. In terms of numerical population, Alabama is 15th in terms of…

Yes, obviously its an under-representation of the state's Black population, but compared to other historically white colleges/universities its high, and the majority of historically white colleges/universities have a black population percentage well below the state's percentage no matter in what region of the country…

13% actually isn't a low percentage for a historically white college/university and is probably in the upper tier in regards to Black student percentage at a non-HBCU. Most historically white college/universities have Black percentages well below 13%.

No, but your ignorance does.

I don't think you understand how culture works.

I'm sorry but Katie Couric does not have the personality to be a daytime talk show host.

I don't even know who she is!

I'm not saying "you're not allowed to say 'girl' anymore because it perpetuates stereotypes" or be fabulously flamboyant or whatever. People can call each other whatever they like, as long as they know the person you are calling is ok with it. The feminization and demasculinization of gay men IS a huge barrier to…

I just don't understand how you think the feminization of gay men by broader society is acceptable. In many ways it reduces gay men to shallow stereotypes that can't be taken seriously. By definition gay men are men, so so be called something else is a little confusing. I understand that on a personal level amongst…

And my gay ass is gonna call people on their bullshit.

Stupid shit like calling gay men "girl" is what contributes to making it difficult for young gay men to come to terms with their sexuality.

How is a girl born in 1993 tryna give us a throwback to the 90's?

That explains it. You solved the mystery of Manila's Face in the Cher Video.

I wonder if she's had some "cosmetic procedures" done.... That was actually the first thing I though when I saw her in the video... those cheekbones look a little "new" and seeing her in the interview something seems new about her face, and I don't think its the makeup.

Arabic is the liturgical language of Islam. Muslims only pray (salah) in Arabic and in many countries sermons are only given in Arabic no matter what the local language, so Arabic is traditionally seen as the uniting language of Muslims.

There are tons of Muslims in Texas. Also, check out this documentary about white conservative Christians converting to Islam in Texas:

Most Persians/Iranians in Beverly Hills are Jewish.

They exist! One of my best friends is one!
