they said like...three lines. anyone can rhyme three lines.
. . . most modern Israeli cuisine is heavily borrowed from Palestinian food, incidentally.
Us black folk have been "mistaken" for primates in some form or another since the beginning of black people. It's kind of a thing.
New? Hahahahah...no. More like old enough to have fallen out of common knowledge only to roll back in what with the increasing prominence of racist bullshit these days.
There is a long history of comparing black people to monkeys that stretching back to the slave trade. There is a particularly ugly part that happened during the beginning of the last century where we'd display black children with dwarfism alongside monkeys in zoo exhibits as the "missing link".
Pretty sure Kara gets that as she's pointed out several times that the angry black women trope is not actually relevant to Shonda Rhimes work. So the subversion angle is a huge fail to begin with, even disregarding the way Alessandra Stanley went about it.
Are you her mom? Because that's the only person who could reasonably defend this mess. I've read a lot of her work, too. Most of it is straight-up terrible. She has the Jonathan Franzen disease of writing to show everyone JUST HOW CLEVER she thinks she is. She's not, and she should stop.
I suggest you closely read the critiques of that article.
She was dismantling the trope of the angry black woman by attaching it's attributes to a successful show runner as well as her black female characters on whom she fixated?

Re Miley Cyrus.
Nope. I didn't say that only black people have baby hairs at all. I said that this specific styling of them is unique to black and latina women.
Two guys who are the only guys I know with side lip rings are both serial cheaters. Coincidence? Lip rings automatically make guys look like douchebags to me though. I don't know what's worse...that or shitty tattoos that have "deep meanings", but this is coming from a person who is about to get a stick figure popping…
Dudes with lip rings are never not sketchy. Consider this your lesson for the day.
