I think the problem with your post is that as I read on, it eventually became clear that you don’t genuinely care about the extent to which women of African descent are injured by European beauty ideals; you’re primarily invested in defending Asian women against exploitation that you believe is being driven by black…

I didn’t leave out anything. I have a word count, and this was specifically about how colorism manifests in India. In the now-thousands of articles I’ve published at The Root, I’ve also written about how it manifests throughout other parts of the world. I even wrote about the video you posted above in July 2018. https:…

The concept of dark skin = uneducated manual laborer was the standard among western whites for most of developed history as well.  It wasn’t until having a tan signaled that you had the time and money to travel to exotic locations or own a home on the shore that this changed.

Tell your friend that while anti-Asian racism is still a huge problem, we have also reaped the benefits of being “white-enough” and a “good minority” in many cases. That’s before we even get into the ways our community has latched onto anti-black racism in the US and helped perpetuate a system that oppresses black…

Related: the bullshit Bureau of Labor Statistics claim that 2 million jobs were “created” rather than lost last month is a total obfuscation and misrepresentation of what happened. The $2 trillion Payroll Protection Plan (passed in April) kicked in. In order to qualify, companies put furloughed employees back on…

When will Joe Biden and the Democrats learn that hating people who they don’t agree with is not an inspiring message?

Maybe someone should point out that Clinton’s comment about “deplorables” was demonstrably, veritably true:

We all saw the video. Those 2 cops shoved that man to the ground for no reason but to hurt him. Their 57 buddies resigning because those 2 shitheads were caught proves those 57 cops are also pieces of shit.

Intentionally fitting. It’s a cut against his stance and reinforces the topic.

Rand Paul is still very confident that voting against anti-lynching legislation is a worthy kill to die on.

There’s no one making stronger arguments against policing in America right now than police in America. Those 57 cops clearly don’t belong on the streets. Fire them all.

The only problem with calling us on our bullshit right now is that it’d be like antagonizing a toddler holding a loaded sawed off shotgun. They might be first to suffer in a humanitarian crisis here, but they’re also going to be the quickest to suffer if the Trumpster Fire decides to retaliate. He may stand fully…

She didn’t delete her tweet. The shady tweeter who tweeted at her deleted her shitty tweet.

While he’s always been diplomatic, I have never seen Trudeau soooo reluctant to say anything bad about your president. I suspect that the current pandemic might have played some role in that.

You have to understand, Canadians are the most polite of all the members of the British Commonwealth. The have elevated the quiet and measured response to an art form. Also consider Canadians have a less-than-stellar track record on the issue and you can see why Trudeau had to pause and think.

To be fair, it’s not like Trudeau is in a position to say what he is actually thinking. Canada still has to maintain a good relationship with the US for a million reasons, not the least of which is trade. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to do everything in his power to fuck with Canada if Trudeau said anything even…

Halsey brought up an excellent point a while back about hotels and how they only have shampoo/conditioner for white people.  As a white person I had never thought about it until she brought it up.  But now what can I do?  Is simply asking the hotel front desk to supply several different hair care items enough?  Do I…

I feel like Halsey’s in an extremely difficult position, but her take is the best one possible? (The tweet appears to have been deleted so I can’t see the reactions. Also, I’m so white I’m a ghost so I could very well be wrong here.)

It just strikes me as a conflict of interest that Toth is representing his wife on one side and the company on the other. 

Nah.  People accept the money they’re offered.  I could argue Witherspoon’s husband should be cognizant of the appearance of nepotism, but if someone offers to overpay me for work I’m not complaining.  I also doubt she thought the company’s future was so precarious.
