Nobody said it was the same. But people feel those kind of expressions often are a hint that there might be bigger problems in the persons world view. In this case we actually do know there are:Like the fact that he threatens to beat up transwomen for using the restroom.

Maybe it’s just cultural and regional norms. But maybe there are some connections between the fact that cultural norms made it acceptable for him to speak that way about an adult woman and cultural and regional norms also made it acceptable for him to speak about beating up transwomen for using the restroom without…

It was his honest reaction. Unfortusntely those kind of micro things while small on their own usually hint at a bigger problems with gender issues. Like threatening to beat up transwomen for using the restroom.

but they aren’t. and the differences in culture and religion are enormous.

Eh, even if you don’t include the Middle East, you would still have to count countries like Pakistan or Afghanistan. And they aren’t that great for gays either.

that might be but that shouldn’t lead to any attempt to remember the less visible victims of the nazis to being seen as offensive. Of course having an anti-Semitic undertone is wrong, but the original comment didn’t mention that, which changes everything. I don’t think it is a coincidence, for example, that the Roma…

ok, but that wasn’t really clear from your first comment.

Not sure why the second one was bad? If anything I assume those Jewish class mates already were as aware as anyone can be of the Jewish victims of the holocaust and I don’t think making sure that other victims are remembered too is somehow offensive to the Jewish victims? Or is it the offensive part calling them…

I am a foreigner who never even has been to the U.S. But I remember not knowing that much but liking him quite a lot. I think I hoped he would become obamas vp.

No. I would be surprised if they had anything like a modern law system before colonial rule. I am not an expert on India, but in general Muslim empires who included a big nonmuslim population like the Mughal empire would have an Islamic law for their Muslim population and let the non-Muslim communities have their…

Thanks that’s great!

Or Jane the virgin. If you haven’t seen it, I feel like most parks and rec fans would also love it. If the telenovella stuff irritates you st the beginning, please give it a chance for a few episode. I feel like the heart & humour should appeal to Parks and rec fans.

Thank you for doing all you can! Sending you a hug!

I can’t vote! Or dankte since I am not American. Luckily I don’t live in America but it’s not as if his presidency won’t affect the rest of the world so.....

The situation is the most difficult in some Asian Muslim countries which you might not automatically think of when you hear “Asia” such as Iran or Afghanistan. India still has a colonial law that criminalizes it. Many other Asian countries either decriminalized it (like China) or never had laws criminalizing it…

Yeah, because people in the US or other western country don’t do anything at all to achieve their beauty ideals like: go on unhealthy diets. Tan/go to tanning salons despite the higher risk of getting cancer. Wear high heels despite them being uncomfortable and not particularly healthy. Put unhealthy stuff on your…

Or she just wants to break them up (if they even are together and gay) no mather what and thinks her daughter spending a few months in prison will “set her straight” and be therefore worth it long term.

Well, junior apparently was drunk all the time, so it probably didn’t take much.

Ok, I am ill and needed something to do so I ended up emailing them and asking if they heard of the Streisand effect. I got an emails back saying it was totally ok because how to kill a mocking bird also used unflattering language to describe characters. I am not kidding.

Oh, but they definitely would have criticized Michelle for things like: racy photo shoots, not being born as an American, not speaking English very well, plagiarizing a speech.... but because Michelle is a independent, outspoken black democrat and Melania a republicans trophy wife all those things they would shred…
