Those kinds of things are usually planned and prepared for by the people hosting them. They likely made the choice, and Kate insisting on doing it on her own could have been very insulting.

The person holding the umbrella is the sister of the king of Bhutan. I’m thinking she did it to be kind/for the photo op during the arrow shooting thing. Otherwise Kate held her own.

Ask yourself this, how well would you or her be received if “I Don’t Know What to Do With Good Black People” was written? If you want to DO anything with “good white people”, don’t universally label them as racists by default, make them culpable for something their ancestors were guilty of centuries ago, much like AAs…

I think we all know this is only “funny” when it’s about white men. When will people realize that self-deprecation/pretending white men are immune to discrimination only alienates people from progressives and makes people like Trump supporters feel justified in their insanity.

So.... I thought “You all look alike.” was a pretty offensive thing to say? Which I can understand why it is offensive. That is of course unless we are discussing white guys. Apparently it is perfectly ok to say about white guys. Got it.

Okay, a lot of these comments definitely made me giggle, but the whole “HAHA, people of a certain race all look the same” about a whole grouping of people makes me... uncomfortable. I understand my viewpoint may be unpopular in these particular threads.... KBYE.

Gee, I wonder if it would be so hilarious if it wasn’t someone white.

and maybe even attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I too feel I have missed the bucket of koolaid people were passing around when they decided that children of immense privilege such as this were somehow amazingly innovative tastemakers. As the welder says above, “artisan” are you shitting me? Let me know when one of them builds the next Minecraft or gets in on new…

They are all boring, boring, boring -especially when they try so hard to be ‘different’. We all know they’re fucking spoiled - how can you not be when your parents are wealthy celebrities? And half of them have had their sights set on being famous (not honing a craft, just being famous) since they were tiny children.…

Artisan? Child, offer up photos of these things you have made by hand. Thank you.

It was nice to be able to talk to female students and professors about science and logic because that’s just such a man’s world.

Although she’s not as bad as her brother.

It’s exhausting being outraged all the time, and constantly letting perfect be the enemy of good.

But is it more offensive to assume transgender people lack any sense of humor about their lives at all?

But if you agree with the principle that there should be some clothing restrictions, then you must agree that some specific dress code rules are correct. So why judge this woman for suggesting some specific dress code rule? Skirt length seems like a reasonable thing to consider. Skirts could go down to your feet, or…

i would have never watched mad max in theaters if it weren’t for their reviews. i think i watched it the 2nd or 3rd week it was out and i returned a couple weeks later for another viewing.

We all have a limit about what is appropriate to wear to school, some people just put that limit at a different place. You probably wouldn’t be happy if kids at your (childrens) school turned up just wearing panties or something. So the idea that being for some kind of clothing restriction in schools automatically…

Yeah, Rooster even says something like “stop, you’re enjoying it too much”

True grit (1969) has an interesting example.
