Yes, exactly - we still live in a culturally Christian nation where those values are elevated above all other belief systems. To believe otherwise is to fall prey to a version of the “war on christians” fallacy/victim mentality displayed by many conservative christian talking heads in this country.

YES. All of your comment, and particularly this: “how arrogant, how hurtful is evangelism at its core!”

Then try cross referencing this with the data about racial dating preferences from the OKC blog if you want a really depressing double whammy. I live in the intersection of the brown/age30 Venn diagram in NYC and it’s bleak. I couldn’t PAY for someone to message me or reply to my messages on any online dating platform…

Personally I’m always amazed to be reminded that a self-hating, whitewashing shitty desi was able to find another like minded indian to marry him! I guess there truly is someone for everyone. And by the way, we Indians drop both of them in the Racial Draft. gtfo, Piyush.

my old neighborhood! let me tell you though, as adorable as she is, I can’t imagine the consternation she must have caused driving a toy car around ON THE SIDEWALK on 125th and FDB. oh god.

ah! this makes greatly more sense.

what in the world does this lady's shirt say? "...fuck the world"?

this one!

AH! i KNEW I knew him from somewhere. Oh, Passions.

for some reason "frownsmile" made me snort with laughter. Such an accurate descriptor!!

YES. Truly this parade is disgusting. When I used to work on 5th Ave I remember I'd have to dodge puddles of green vomit walking down the street....while on my 10:30AM coffee break.

However, they seem to only give Pam Oliver budget for one weave per year. I swear you can see it getting rattier and rattier before your eyes as the season goes on.

Who is this total curmudgeon taping these people? I feel like this dude is so humorless — people falling down is hilarious! Plus it's New York City! There are traffic jams, double parking, and yes, drunk people congregate outside drinking establishments (even in daylight sometimes).

OMG Harry Styles's tattoos from a distance make it look his nipples have eyebrows.

Ha!! I remember as a (brown) kid, the first time I saw one of my white friends with no shirt on I was STUNNED by the existence of pink nipples. It seems very silly in retrospect, but I still remember it very clearly, that is how much it completely blew my mind at the time.

TELL 'EM, CHARLOTTE.

I love how when rich people go broke they have to slum it by downgrading to $11 million co-ops. It's a hard knock life!

Tess! Love that she wants to dream about doing whatever she wants, flying, and drinking coffee. What 8 year old dreams about drinking coffee? She's clearly going to grow up to be a super smart novelist/philosopher.

yeah, my admittedly hyperbolic point was just that Amherst college is a private school, and as such has a bit more latitude in governance (at least in some matters) than does a fully federally funded public institution. Not that anything in this decision is unconstitutional anyway...

Thank you! It's really reductive to boil this down to some kind of lazy statement on how schools are/aren't going to solve rape by banning frats. That's just not what's going on here.
