Look friend, that's a lot of rationalizations and explanations and bringing in of skin color and so on and so forth defending your initially rude/offensive/quasi-racist comment. Plug in another group and see if you would find it appropriate. You wouldn't. It wasn't a cool thing to say. If you want to make a flippant…

Strictly speaking, not a race. But "those Dominicans sure do steal alot", amirite? "Those Vietnamese sure are dirty!" "Albanians are all a bunch of drug addicts!" "Lesbians are ugly and uptight, huh?" Any time you make a negative generalization about a culture or a group, it's considered pretty rude and/or racist- I…

Classy racism, there. So funny.

You're grouchy. Playing with language is fun. So is learning about giant animal penii.

Yep.

Word, girl. We mustn't let the Judgey Judgersons of the world get us down!

I think trying to turn it into a hipster thing is a bit far-fetched. A real hipster would tell his parents back in their McMansion in the Midwest that they're not coming because of Native American genocide, and then stay in Brooklyn. Not go and complain about traditions.

Maybe you should actually have sex or have a drink before you go judging and feeling sorry for others. The fact is you have no idea what you would do or how you would feel. Super immature and unattractive.

Right?

Lolz. Aren't they missing you over at the Fox Nation commenting boards?

As you should be!! :) Well done, all of us.

If everyone looks like a certain animal, Chris Brown looks like a bat. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Between your screen name AND your avatar, I'm going to take you as a serious rep of the bear community and stand behind you seconding what you said. Bears or GTFO!

Hmm, in this situation I'm far more of a feminist than a cultural historian (and I'd like to think I'm always a feminist cultural historian anyway, so no conflict there really). I think it stinks. I think he is a sociopath, and it makes me disappointed in her. AND it sends a terrible, terrible message to the young…

I am in total agreement.

So true.

As a historian, I appreciate you taking this perspective and it needs to be mentioned. But I think that is precisely why it matters to be historically accurate: prostitution is not one of the only professions available to Western women anymore to keep themselves from starving to death. I think conflating the two times…

Exactly.

Well said.
