I’m just going to plug in Ta-Nehisi’s excellent new book here:

No. Stop fetishizing mixed people.
I really, really want to like Mindy Kaling. She’s been successful, a pioneer, and a curvy woman of color - all things that I support. And, yet, I am so un-charmed, and cannot quite deal with the fact that she’s the only person of color on her show (besides her family), that her character (and her in real life,…
Oh, so Kate wants Assange to shoot the country keeping him from spending the rest of his life in an American torture/kill facility? And if he does not, he’s a hypocrite.
Brb, writing a post about secret menus. I just want to watch the world burn Pinkham vomit blood.
She went so far as to testify in front of congress about international parental child abduction earlier this summer.
I'm 99% sure he pays her for her travel and somewhere for her to stay in Monaco. She brought this upon herself by getting his visa revoked. She thought it would guarantee her full custody & it blew up in her face. I have absolutely no sympathy for Kelly in this situation.
Yes, yes! This is one of the things that my faith community (the Unitarian-Universalist Assn.) looks for when we take on a new social justice initiative. My particular church has a few core social justice issues that we focus on, and we partner with organizations that are in the trenches doing the work. We provide…
Yay Tamilians.
I do not think that the only bad-ass-esque(?) South Asian woman in entertainment right now is someone who grew up in Britain, not the US. American desis are a whole different breed from Canadian and British desis. This is a generalization, but: both Canada and Britain have large ethnic enclaves of South Asians, which…
YES. Most nonprofits still operate from a white-savior model, and don’t respect the idea that poor people (and people in other marginalized groups) are experts in their own lives and communities.
Is this the same video that was edited in such a way that it made it appear the majority of said cat-callers were non-white?
The director edited out all the white men who cat called her leaving men of varyin shades of brown
Fine. ALL children will grow up to be selfish monsters. You can find them stampeding eachother to death when the doors to Wal-Mart open on Christmas Eve.
So your defense is basically “it’s just a joke, get over it!”. Funny that Jezebel doesn’t like that excuse when it’s white men making fun of women or minorities. For example they called out Jerry Seinfeld for complaining how political correctness was ruining comedy: http://jezebel.com/jerry-seinfeld…
Have you watched the stand up? She spends ZERO time building up the baseline persona to actually create effective satire. It’s basically people laughing at the racist one liners (which by the way, are SO lazy)
Also Jezebel you have seemed to have deleted a few comments that called you out for not posting about this, yeah i know i will get banned for this but come on.
Nah just repeating the LAZIEST racist stereotypes is not ‘moving between personas’ - she prefaces the joke by saying “I’m racist” but people are not laughing at her racism, they’re laughing at the stereotype because she doesn’t build up the racist persona. It’s just a line to start off the rcist jokes.
