I think you’re reading more into it than was intended. The joke is simply that Dash, given her beliefs, is a completely ridiculous choice for the position of Minority Outreach Director.

Sound methodology. Please let us know any other statistical insights about most of America’s 250 million white people, on the basis of your interactions with ‘more than one’ of them on Facebook.
Please. There are about 250 million white people in the US. We don’t need robust polling to figure out that most do not have an opinion on Beyonce’s latest video.
“The usual first line of defense in these arguments is “separating the art from the artist,” .... but in this case, it doesn’t apply. Bowie’s artistic life was tied up in an ethos of seeing, validating and inducing intimacy with anyone in front of him; the fact that this ethos turned sexual in the case of painfully…
“According to several classmates, none of whom were firsthand witnesses, Cruz was said to have run the wrong way and was later seen naked and banging against the window of a locked dorm in an attempt to gain entrance.”
With all this primaries coverage I misread the headline as “Sanders” instead of “Senders’”. Can’t stop my brain from bleeding.
What a thoughtful and thought-provoking essay. It’s a good antidote to the PC myth that consent is always simple — as found in that idiotic essay comparing sexual consent to the the offer of a cup of tea (rockstardinosaurpirateprincess.com/2015/03/02/consent-not-actually-that-complicated/). Some people just can’t…

I’m not sure how stastically valid these numbers are, though, because the vast majority of hate crimes go unreported, and there may be selection bias in those that are reported.

‘Belie’ doesn’t mean what you think it does, guys - try ‘bespeak’
Damn that’s well done!
Sanders reached out to an BLM leader weeks ago, in a bid to join forces. This is why I find the Seattle protest so idiotic. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-s…
“Taking as a given that they could protest people who are far more enthusiastic about the ongoing oppression of American citizens, what is the purpose of protest that doesn’t piss someone off?”
Your thesis here is that racism is a separate issue, running parallel to economic inequality. Solving the latter will not solve the former. Where have I heard that before? http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/bernie-s…
I love Chris Farley but this is like the 10th time I’ve heard his friends get all inside baseball about that fucking Pepper Boy sketch. It’s pretty basic schtick and it’s not as if making Adam Sandler crack up during an SNL taping was a rare event.
It is ludicrous to describe this as being “for the sake of convenience.” Avoiding the fate of Chelsea Manning— decades in jail, prolonged solitary confinement— is more than an inconvenience; it is an unjust sacrifice we wouldn’t demand of saints.
love this - great teacher!
Props to Tara Jacoby - awesome illustration!
