Over 60 years old here… relationships have come and gone, but at least I can say I’ve escaped the legal and financial consequences of marriage.

There is a way to do this without being a POS. Steve Kardynal is just a fucking gem, the absolute antidote to these assholes. He does this shit right.

You get a modified FitBit, to make sure you’re maintaining a healthy amount of Basic behavior.

Taylor’s probably just hoping that if they become friends Rooney will lend her some of her eyebrows and honestly I totally understand.

For what it’s worth, Ross Perot earned a hell of a lot of respect from me for donating $1 million to Planned Parenthood of Texas during the last defunding fracas. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/news/2013/08/29/perot-foundation-announces-1-million-gift-to-planned-parenthood-of-greater-texas.

Why do so many lawmakers hate poor women?

“You never really know a man until you have divorced him.”

I rather like this one.

1) really not outraged.

If Swinton came in demanding Cho enlighten her I would 100% agree with your comment; I think burnout from being required to be a cultural ambassador is a very real phenomena that POC experience. But Swinton literally opened with the line: “Tell me to fuck off if you feel like it.” Did their conversation go 100%…

Well I have lots of conversations with my white friends who absolutely get it that are productive and honest. I was specifically talking about in my comment the tendency for white people (and yes, I know not all white people) to be resistant to looking at an issue from a historical perspective, and I think that’s…

I was with Tilda until she didn’t seem to grasp that you could still cast an Asian actor in a role as long as the character was updated to avoid the stereotypes in the original text. She seemed to think that it was an either/or situation, which is certainly not true.

I’ve been reading several responses to this and I am definitely seeing it now. It’s the insidious kind of “I’m a woke white person” stuff that gets in the way of actually making progress.

I am also white. It seems like maybe Cho was being nice and diplomatic instead of saying what she really thought. It seems like Tilda was honestly trying but also trying to promote the movie and say how it is actually okay. Maybe Cho viewed in negativity in hindsight because she felt like she couldn’t say her real…

Everything you said makes a lot of sense. I know there’s a lot of frustration around minorities being expected to shoulder the burden of explaining things to white people, or having to be nice to white people in order to “heal,” when white people aren’t asked to make any concessions. Which I think is bullshit. And I…

I think that both things are true: MC did mischaracterize the interaction and TS was too quick to brush off her role in (and benefit from) whitewashing. TS comes across at once open to concerns, but at the same time very much closed off to them. She is adamant that she is someone who values diversity and that be…

Granted, I am white...but am I missing something?

“Its not my job to teach you even if you ask in earnest but fuck you for not knowing?”

Cho’s view doesn’t make Swinton sound malicious at all. I’d say that’s some white fragility afoot. Chi portrayed Swinton as a hapless white person trying to make themselves feel better about some whitewashing she participated in. The emails don’t contradict that. Swinton just goes on and on about how the whitewashing…

Well tbh I’m not too worried about white people getting thrown under the bus, I think we’ll recover.
