Girl, how you ain't the hobbit again?

Around the Olympics, Jez was filled with morons insisting that there had been black people shipped in to populate the local area where they took place. Of course, the Olympics were in Stratford and environs, where there aren't many white people. These morons kept insisting "there are no black people in England" and

I cannot believe that people—presumably Jezzies, at that!—actually fell for your bait, providing responses that could have come from a template. Humanity is hopeless. James Bond is a frickin' fantasy. "Logical" arguments that he has to be white are absurd. He doesn't have to be anything, except sharp-looking in a

Sorry I just need to get this out: can we talk about the way racist exclusions of non-white people is perpetuated in the media?

First: you have a whole bunch of traditional books,films, comics, tv shows and other media created for white people by white people using all white characters and white history to tell their

I mean, I thought this and I'm black. James Bond is white. It's not like saying 'lady doctor' with the underlying assumption that doctors are all male. James Bond is a white character. I think we're cheering without critical thought here. If he was playing Lara Croft, we'd say 'a male version of Lara Croft' and he

EXCEPT that James Bond comes from a novel featuring a white man from the UK. The author who created him created a drawing of the character, who is clearly white.

He's a gifted, evocative writer, which is no surprise. But he needed a judicious and firm editor, which clearly did not happen.

If a 'large, left leaning nose' is a deformity then I've got a laundry list! Hunch back, deep ribs, large bulbous nose, keloid scarring all over my stomach, collarbones and ears, a crack in my hip from a genetic disorder that makes my bones brittle so I walk with a slight limp and a pouchy belly because they screwed

Your knowledge of privilege rules is greater than that of other people on Jezebel. That is privilege knowledge privilege. I sure wish I had that or I'd speak up more on Jezebel. Must be nice having the privilege of privilege knowledge so you can throw your weight around here.

Now playing

Peter Serafinowicz sings page one of Morrissey's book:

I don't see white-privilege in this photo except in the sense that the people in it are, in fact, white. I think OP had a chip on his shoulder.

you're right. it's a rich kid acting like a rich kid and has no bearing on my life whatsoever however i must get appropriately outraged so as to fit in with the jezebel commentariat by attacking his gender, the colour of his skin and his affluence. you forgot to point out that he's not fat, therefore also guilty of

But why? I mean, he has a smug look on his face, but other than that, and the fact we know his mom is Madonna, what in the picture indicates white privilege? Genuinely want to understand/sorry for ignorance.

This is a weird thread/argument. This is not about white privilege or rich privilege unless you know more about the context of this photo than I do. However he does appear to be on a douche track.

Yeah, who cares if his parents are actually Italian and Cuban! He LOOKS white therefore he's oppressing me with his intolerance and bigotry. I mean, look at him with his white skin and his clearly European features. Privileged scum!

There is something about Morrissey, man. The guy says completely inexcusable shit and I still totally love him. More than half of what comes out of his mouth is mad indefensible—I can't and won't defend any of it—but I still love him. How does he do that? What is his secret? Why can't I do that??

Not even on the topic of lights that never go out?

Yes, I know. I was making a joke.

I think he means that eating meat is on the same moral level as raping children, which is hard to argue against.

Before I start my actual post, I want to say two things: 1) When I post a thread, please don't insult each other. That's very difficult to read. It really stresses me out. I don't like seeing people fighting. I get enough of that in my real life. I come here to escape from that, and 2) Take my posts at face-value. For
