And no you cannot post “How not to be a Dick to your White Friend,” cause Nobody FUCKING CARES.
cosplay
After my pictures started making the rounds on deviantArt, tumblr and 4chan, it became pretty clear that my cosplay brings all the racists to the yard, and they're like…white cosplay is better than yours.
racism
Burnt. Black skin. Dirty. I’ve been called the worst names from fellow Singaporeans.

race
I didn't mind living in rural Tennessee until I had two black children.
clutch magazine
I offer rules for non-Black people to engage Black women without causing offense. If you can manage NOT to do the following, you can probably come across as a decent human being.
ihtm
It has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with cultural upbringing. But if we’re going to talk about stereotypes, then I will have to declare from personal experience: Asian men are the best ones to date.
gabby douglas
There are some who want to ask “why we need to bring race into it” and they’re the same kinds of people who say we live in a “post-racial” society. We need to bring race into it because Gabby Douglas’ race is important.

Could the ethnic name bestowed on you by your parents hurt your career?

race
I don’t know exactly when it became completely okay to ask a random stranger which one of their progenitors stepped outside the narrow queue of their own race and decided to knock boots with someone of another race.

race
Even with all these gross things that have been done and said to me regarding my race, I thought, perhaps naively, we were moving past this.

rap
When this article was first conceived, I intended to make the argument that my love for rap is pure and therefore should be allowed to thrive unchallenged.
adaptations
I went into it knowing that I wasn’t going to see a faithful and perfect adaptation, and that this would be okay; I was curious to know if the spirit of the books was retained.
race
A young woman gets rejected from a public university, and claims racism is the culprit. She's white. Stop me if you've heard this one before.

honey boo boo
Some folks may be made uncomfortable by “Honey Boo Boo” because it challenges their association of thin, shining, educated middle-classness with whiteness and Southern accents, fatness and poverty with blackness.
dating
I am not some census-taking dick measurer, OK?
race
There’s one line that I’ve always found particularly interesting:"You’re so pretty. You look mixed."
dating
Did you see a Black woman wearing glasses or reading a book on TV this week?
dark skin
As if I have to be a certain complexion to be cute. (GTFOH!)
race
We are a brown blur, a coded caricature painted in broad strokes where we are all “sassy” and “urban” and cannot simply clean the kitchen floor without finger-snappin’ and mouthpoppin’ at our appliances.
family drama
I recently discovered I didn't know the first thing about my baby's skincare. What else don't I know?

anders breivik
“European Resistance” is a Breivik fan Tumblr run by a 17-year-old girl who finds Breivik “cute,” someone far removed from the stereotypical image of a scary skinhead plotting to commit terrorist attacks.

ethnicity
While it's one thing to have your own family jokingly question your parentage, it's quite another when the questions come at you from strangers.
