I don’t really want to pile on you, since a lot of people have already addressed why the phrasing here is upsetting. I just want to suggest that, in future, if this sort of situation comes up, there are ways to split the difference. If you are concerned about using the word “rape” because that isn’t the exact wording…

Yeah I'm against the death penalty but when it comes to children.... I want to fucking hurt these people verrrrrrry verrrrry bad.

I love that she is using her experience to comment and constructively criticize the rape culture we have all around us. She is SO bright and thoughtful, and I really am inspired by the way she took something so terrible in her life and is using it to help other people. I believe she can make a difference in the way…

I respect her so much. She has some very biting things to say about purity culture in general and it is wonderful.

She lost me (not that I was ever much of a fan) with that nasty crack about “watch out, Angelina’s gonna try to adopt Lupita Nyongo”. It was rude to Lupita and Jolie’s kids, and really uncalled for. :/

Yep, that was worth $175,000.

Fired is good.

You realize that there is no user manual for how to identify as a multiracial person, right? Maybe two biracial parents would raise their children as biracial as well, maybe the parents primarily identify as black or Asian or what have you and therefore raise their kids as such. This game of “ok so now explain to me…

Idk how Kara would define it, but as a biracial woman, I most often use it (when describing myself) to mean someone with parents of two different races. That could be black and white, East Asian and white, black and Asian, etc. I think what Kara means is that it is perfectly possible to identify simultaneously as…
