Speaking of NPR, I have a corollary to Kumail Nanjiani’s tweet.

Holy shit, $1500. That’s nothing. Absolutely nothing. If I only had $1500 in student loan debt right now, I’d be dancing naked in the street.

You literally began your comment with “actually”. If the comment doesn’t apply to you then it doesn’t apply to you, dude. People are talking about the racist things they are seeing and you just want to point out that you aren’t one of the white people saying it. I’ll invite you again to kindly take a seat and…

#NOTALLWHITEPEOPLE!!1!

I never said it’s not corporate or that I personally love Beyonce or the song or anything. I also see no problem with everyone having their own reactions and opinions about it. What has annoyed me, though, and what I absolutely consider to be patronizing, is the proliferation of Facebook posts and articles I’ve seen,…

Mostly the reaction I’ve noticed from well-educated liberal white people has been a fairly even split between a) this is awesome! or b) this is corporate/subordinationist pseudo-activism that, while maybe well-intentioned, only serves to reify the existing assumptions of white supremacy.

The fact that it was barely satire tho.

I don’t celebrate the death of anyone. But I also can’t be expected to mourn his racist, homophobic, sexist legacy. I find myself simultaneously feeling for his family and the indomitable RBG, who considered him a close friend, and having real hope for the future of the Court.

Possible Unpopular Opinion: Bill Murray is not chill and not funny

These standards DO apply to adults in the real world. If I made a racist remark to someone at work, I would lose my job. If we want to treat college students like adults, then they to need to understand that even legal actions can have unfavorable consequences.

If you’re going with the college student = adult analogy, then you must extend it to college = work. If visitors were coming to tour my workplace and a group of coworkers behaved in this manner, they would be fired immediately.

Anyone who realizes what a lame-ass Tori married (he’s cheated on his 1st wife with Tori and now has cheated on Tori) knows the mother saw this freight-train coming a mile away when her daughter Tori threw her “But I love him, mommy, whether you like it or not! tantrum.

Didn’t they, though? I thought that Candy, and Aaron’s estate, are already paying for the house and taxes and school tuition for the grandkids, and basically all the essentials. It’s just Tori & Dean’s ridiculous credit card bills for luxury items that Candy is refusing to pay. It’s not like Tori & Dean and the kids…

I’m curious if the crush who made the nasty “joke” about not being able to see you in a darkened cinema was a black dude? Somehow I assume so. Sad but true that black men can be extremely judgmental about shades of blackness where white men don’t make such distinctions.

He wasn’t actually looking to read, I’m thinking.

I wish you could down-vote on Kinja. Nice backdoor insult, asswipe.

Oh fuck off. She is sharing her genuine experience... what, do you think she just *imagined* the lack of interest in dating her? Gonna try the “she was too stuck-up to see the guys who were interested in her” gambit, even though she makes multiple mentions of being rejected AND supplies a study demonstrating that this…

Did you actually read the blog post? Crowther describes her experiences living in places outside the US for periods of months, not traveling. None of the things you listed apply.

Oh yeah. Satoshi Kanazawa is a real piece of shit. And evolutionary psychology is rarely more than an excuse to justify racism/sexism/fatphobia/etc. with some made-up bullshit about how life was on the savannah.

I have nothing meaningful to say except that I’m sorry you experience this and this kind of American unjustified romantic / sexual selection along racial lines is bullshit.
