I have some Stella McCartney bras from a few seasons ago that have bands below 32 and above DD (I'm a 30E) - the price point was a tiny bit higher than VS, but not as expensive as my bras from Chantelle or Agent Provocateur. If you're in NYC check out Sugar Cookies, or go to their website - I think Nordstrom carries…

Hell yeah - I had a Camry that not only drove me 190,000 miles but saved my ass on three separate and terrifying big accident occasions. It handled snow and ice well too. Now I have a tiny Yaris (tiny car in a big city) and when I was rear-ended while at a red light by someone going 50 mph on a city street: NOTHING.…

It takes a hell of a long time if you're not white in Ben Gurion, and especially if you're any kind of Arab (like, any kind - especially Arab Jews). They also do questionably legal searches of the electronic devices of brown folks and/or anyone suspected of being sympathetic in any way to Palestinians. One of my…

Right, and followers of Islam aren't racialised in any way, which is why there has never been stereotypical portrayals of or reactions to Muslims or those *perceived* (ahem: brown skin) to be Muslim.

No, you're definitely right - crying racism is the problem here.

First and last time the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture will ever be on Jezebel. One of myriad occasions in which Adichie will be referred to as an accompaniment to Beyonce instead of a long-celebrated accomplished writer in her own right. #WhiteFeministWin

It's a fish taco.

You might consider teaching them black feminist writing on the systemic violation of black women's bodies in the slavery era and how it continues to this day.

Jezebel, you so white. Look at Black Twitter for one second to find out what the feud between Ridley and McQueen is, my gawd.

But the Union Army was not above enslaving escaped slaves from the South in order to further their war effort. Nor could Northern industry reconcile with losing the agricultural basis of their economy. I think you vastly *overestimate* the amount of anti-slavery sentiment in the North, which has been emphatically…

Remember also, though, that the North also depended on slavery because that was the industrial region in the U.S. that processed the agricultural goods the South used slavery to produce. In fact, in addition to enslaved peoples *freeing themselves* by escaping en masse from Southern plantations to join (ahem - be…

Does this remind anyone else of James Baldwin's horrifically apt short story, Going To Meet the Man? Another white man's (in law enforcement) perverse excitement (yes, sexually) at reliving/retelling a lynching. Jimmy, you went too soon…

I'm Egyptian, and I agree with other comments that don't see this as cultural appropriation (there are communities in Egypt that continue to worship the gods of antiquity to this day, but they're not likely to give a shit about Katy Perry), but I do think it's profoundly annoying. Mostly because, after moving to the…

I get your story but just wanted to very quickly note that First Nations/indigenous 'Americans' do not necessarily "look" any certain way. If you spend any time on reserve land in the U.S. or Canada you'll see legacies of colonialism and intermixing galore - blonde hair, blue eyes, et al. (As an aside, this can be a…

This is amazing. Not only did my 2 comments pointing this out both get disappeared, but so did MY ENDORSEMENT OF YOUR COMMENT restating this!

Jezebel has deleted TWO of my comments pointing this out. TWO of them.

I'm not sure why my first comment got deleted (!?) but the author's name is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She's kind of been around for a while. She's also kind of a big deal, even before Bey sampled one of her lectures. Calling her "Ngozi Adichie" is like me calling you "Gloria Ryan." It's not your full name, at least…

The author's name is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Nigerians have first names just like you.

Okay, feminist writer Gloria Ryan?

Moroccan Arabic is extremely particular and one of the least mutually intelligible dialects of Arabic in the Arabic-speaking world though. And a legacy of colonialism is often that Arabic is not used widely in Morocco, especially if she's living in an urban center.

Not just Chinese laborers - coolie was applied to indentured/enslaved laborers from all parts of the Asian continent (including South Asia) that were misled/forced to Africa/Caribbean/America et al. by their colonial masters (largely though not always the British).

I know I'm ghosted, in essence completely invisible on Jezebel, but there should be an article on this site with the headline "Jezebel Doesn't Get to Decide If Their Content Has a Race Problem." I would really appreciate the honesty and openness of a long-discussed issue Jezebel will not address (to the point of…
