Nobody thinks that the ad is meant to reflect Nivea’s dreams of a white supremacist utopia. But the idea of white representing purity, contrasted to black representing corruption and evil, absolutely has racist roots. “White is purity” echoes that sentiment. Even though I’m sure Nivea’s ad was not intended as a racial…

My husband will go ballistic if you interrupt him, but he interrupts me twice as much and doesn’t realize it. Same goes for eye rolling.

Because boys can do no wrong. From early childhood, girls are held to higher behavioral standards. I am at a conference right now, and we women have noticed that the men are too fucking special to push their chairs back in and not block the narrow aisles.

I work with a dude who is really trying to work on it. He’s not doing a great job, but he’s trying. He thinks he can’t help it and he interrupts everyone so it’s not a gender thing, but my female co-worker and I point out he never interrupts the male bosses, especially the one he’s trying to cultivate a bff…

When you put her next to her father or her brother, she comes across as a genius because she can form complete sentences and use appropriate inflections on words. The Trumps are masters of low expectations, and the past year or so has lowered the standard to subterranean levels.

Alcohol definitely is more of a cause of than a solution to his life’s problems.

Forgive me if I stole this from someone, but...

People are saying that Steve Bannon looks like those movies where the vampire gets exposed to the light. Or maybe he has really bad skin cancer and he’s the one cancer victim we’re all allowed to skip sympathy for.

Yes. The Sri Lankan guy advocating for immigration reform is a nativist bigot. /smh

“What native residents take away from that is not my concern.”

I say this as an immigration attorney. The use of the words “line jumpers” is what contributes to the current status of many in the exploited underclass.

People should stop comparing illegal immigration to enter to someone else’s house without an invitation or skipping the line.

Many of them had to skip the line or die. So go fuck yourself.

While I appreciate the overall point you’re making about the issue at hand, I’m with Sheket on this one. Being “unable” to stand in line and having no line to stand in (the US does not recognize most Central and South American immigrants as refugees and visas are extremely hard to get, my uncle waited for 5 years for…

I say this as a legal immigrant with no particular love for line jumpers.

Yeah. Whenever people went on about the total impossibility of deporting all the undocumented people, I just said “They don’t actually want to deport that many people. What they want is to create a terrorized underclass who will work for even less money, never go to the police or authorities for crimes, and basically…

The only thing the current immigration system has managed to definitively accomplish is the creation of an exploitable underclass. We need to stop pretending that this is a bug and not a feature.

Look, just because I’m being silent doesn’t mean I’m being silent. It just means I’m being. Silently.
