The way I see it, there are a lot of parallels between this situation and the situation of a guy pulling aside a woman at work and asking her “could you explain this ‘feminism’ thing to me? I want to do the right thing but I haven’t heard much about these ‘microaggressions’ and ‘intersectionality’ among my white male…

Yeah, I mean honestly, because there aren’t enough films about 55 year white Scottish women living the Highlands, she totally understands lack of representation so it’s okay for her to play a character that should have been Tibetan? Really?

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 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…

Maybe it was unfair, but also unfair that roles are regularly rewritten and given to white actors, and no one is ever actually responsible for this. Cho’s fed up, and I get why.

While I agree Cho’s characterization is off, Tilda is also missing the mark in these emails. Tilda is benefiting from the whitewashing of a character, but won’t look at the historical significance of this because she personally doesn’t feel that way. As a person of color, that is definitely one of the most aggravating…

How did a copy/pasted email exchange between 2 other people involve any bias on the part of Rich?

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here. It sounds like Tilda was up front about the issues, expressed her desire to do something about it and sought advice from someone who is in a good position to provide it. And Cho’s responses were thoughtful and measured as well. Not sure what got lost…

I had this life-altering revelation when her 1989 album was released. how is an adult so tweeny?

My favorite part of the Drumpf Grille piece:

THANK YOU. Nobody gives this album enough credit for being the listening experience we needed in 2016. Had it been a different year, I could’ve seen her winning a Grammy for it.

no. and now let’s close the polls because i am right.

Tove Lo’s Lady Wood is a perfectly edited and crafted counterpoint to Starboy. 10 songs, 2 interludes. It comes and tells its story excellently and then leaves.

rich while we’re at it let’s talk about album SEQUENCING and how no one seems to give a shit about how their collection of singles sounds when you listen to it front to back (chance seems to give it the most thought out of the three you listed here)

I want to know why Comey isn’t being fired or fined for violating the Hatch Act. There is no question he abused his authority by commenting on an ongoing investigation just days before an election. If they let this go, it is open season for public officials to put their thumbs on the scale next time with no…

Right? Huma is the one person who did nothing wrong. Those two MEN did all the fucking up, so she is absolutely blameless.

I don’t know if he’s a good dude or not, but he’s very focused on educational opportunities in the artists/alternative education which is respectable. (if i’m not mistaken it stems from his struggles with learning).

I have such mixed feelings about Pitbull. I don’t understand how any woman finds him attractive, but he also seems like an okay dude? Like he just really just wants to have a great time, all the time.

Trumplash isa brilliant word, and I’ll be using it regularly, and attributing it to you by your Jezebel username when I do.
