Okay. Well there ya go. You have no problem with this—I do.

I mean you read my comment. I understood why it was done but I also stated that it was messy, and people shouldn’t dress up as other races. Maybe some things dont have to be adapted. But artisic liberties and whatnot. I feel as though you probably (PROBABLY) dont care because “how else were they supposed to replicate…
Uhm. That doesn’t make it less racist or not racist at all. I understood the concept, but damn it was just messy...don’t “dress up”as other races.
Your comment is spot on, but I’m currently re-watching degrassi right now and love your icon. Okay bye...
As someone mentioned in earlier comment the gripe was more with what she said backstage then on stage. She said that it was time for gay men and poc to start fighting for women the same when that women have fought for them. It was truely a messy comment...I kind of get what she was saying, but regardless she is…
Yes, unfortunately Jewish people seem to have zero visibility unless they’re an actor, comedian, ect. and being a minority in almost most of the world ( I think jewish ppl represent less than 3% of the world’s population) does not help. That being said this actually has nothing to do with Jewish people and I was…
Probably because Muslims almost always face backlash like the burning of mosques and other hate crimes. While white people are rarely attacked let alone blamed for the actions of their entire race/religion. Being aware of how racist/Islamophobic people are does not mean that sympathy cannot be awarded to the victims…
I mentioned that yoga is in no way practiced in the way that is it intended. I’m done with that. But I will add that Native American artifacts and motifs cannot be sold to the masses in a respectful way. You respect native people, A struggling and poverty stricken minority (in their own land) , by supporting venders…
Math does not hold cultural significance in the same way that customs, traditions, and practices. Peope are being so willingly obtuse in this thread.
Visiting a country and participating in the culture is much different from commodifying it and stripping it of it’s cultural heritage. Immigrants from a country and indigenous people of a country (does that makes sense) view cultural exchange differently. I totally understand what you are saying.
Practicing yoga under some one who is not from the culture is not exchange. In order for it to be exchange some one from the culture must be involved. Yoga is a textbook example of appropriation. It was taken, diluted, and rebranded. Yoga is a spiritual practice and has a lot more meaning than stretches and poses. I…
Cis men really ain’t shit—gay or straight. Smh...
Meh. I live in a city where almost 30% of the people that live here are black. And growing up I really thought black people were the majority. However, there were only 3 black teachers in my elementry, 1 in my middle school, and I have yet to have a black professor or TA at university. I mean that’s cool that some of…
Stop. Black people represent no where near the majority of voters let alone those who oppose marriage equality. What is it with this myth that black ppl are the ones holding the LGBT community back when the most outspoken and active opponents have always been white people. Not to mention black ppl identify with this…
That is absolutely not what I’m suggesting, but thanks for reducing my comment to “no white girls allowed.”
I’ve been trying to edit my comment for the past hour now...naive...I meant naive.
I am a truly nieve person and get into arguements about racism and feminism on yik yak. Last night I decided that there is absolutely no way that I could ever educate people on there or “win” simply because it’s easier to fit bullshit into a 200 character limit than factual information. It honestly scares me that…
I love you...
Omg. Thank you. I know exactly what they were doing because there really was no reason for them to not only post that comment but directly reply to me...ugh. This is not the first time I’ve seen some one comment on an article addressing the oppression of poc or woc and find some way to talk about white women. You have…
He is living proof of what happens when white cis-het men stay in their lane...over here aging like fine wine...
