That’s why I don’t get these Singularity people. I’m sure they aren’t planning to live like this, but immortality of itself, no matter how young/fit you remain, seems to be a curse. Eventually the world will change so much you won’t want to be a part of it anymore.

Conrad Hilton was very generous to me in the divorce settlement. He gave me 5000 Gideon Bibles.

True story. I think perseverating over Trump’s *haha* minor fails is like taking a break from a dense textbook to read a stupid gossip mag. A little light junk food fare for the mind to keep it from exploding.

No one said it was her job. Tilda asked if it was ok, very politely. Cho accepted. You can’t just absolve her of the words she said after that because she shouldn’t have accepted in the first place. How would you suggest Tilda gain knowledge on the subject?

“Only the incredible bias and prejudice of this post’s author.”

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

I’m whiter than the background color here so I just want to point out the issue with this sentiment from that perspective. Also please note I will be speaking in overt generalities here.

Actually, it is your (our) job. That sucks to hear and it isn’t what I want to believe either, but there’s a difference between the way things “should be” and the way they actually are. No, as a gay person of color, I don’t want MY life to revolve around teaching straight white folk about racism, but I also know–at…

I’m Asian, and I even wrote about my problem with Dr. Strange’s whitewashedness in The Washington Post. And I find Tilda’s responses to be nuanced and willing to listen. If this is truly the receipts, Swinton has my respect for trying to respectfully navigate this issue.

The way I’ve interpreted it is that Margaret still wanted to be pissed about The Ancient One being cast with a white actor even after Tilda explained the reasoning behind it and so she responded with a childish “but... STILL”.

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%…

How is asking questions equated as have Cho do Swinton’s “intellectual labor”? That assessment seems colossally unfair.

Because Tilda Swinton, who had no relationship with all before this, tapped her as the One Asian Friend and went from “hey, can we talk about this” to “oh wise Asian, please enlighten me as to how we can make the entire world a better place?”

This is confusing to me. If I, as a white male, need to be educated on these matters of race and gender, but I can’t ask my minority friends, honestly what do I do?

She has connections to a different culture, whatever. The point is Swinton made an honest and well-intentioned attempt to understand this issue and was not rude or offensive about it at all. And Cho shat on her publicly for no good reason.

Can I reply to this sentiment because I am honestly curious about this.

Yeah, funny enough, that’s exactly how I hoped a conversation like that would go and for some reason it seems like Cho decided to twist it around on the podcast for comedic purposes. Maybe there’s more to it than this, but right now Cho looks very bad.

One of my favorite things to do at work is to simply respond with the forwarded email that contains whatever they said that they’re now claiming they didn’t say.

seriously. she didn’t need to make a statement. she was just like, “here are the fucking emails. have fun.”

Oh yeah...I remember those little footrests. Those were helpful. Dangling feet is super uncomfortable! The blood all pools to you feet and ankles like a centrifuge.
