at first I didn't think it was that bad, then I thought if someone made that joke in front of me it would be pretty horrific.

the fact that he had to say "dis" instead of "this" to make the hacky acronym joke work makes it even more offensive

The Stuff Girls Say with the dude in drag was pretty disgusting on some basic levels.
A lot of the "Stuff White Girls Say To Black Girls" seems more like "Stuff White Girls Say When Black Girls Aren't Around," which makes the whole YouTube sadder if it's accurate.

i think most black girls have had that stuff said to them by white girls in their lives. i think most black guys have had the gender equivalent stuff said to them by white guys in their lives. white americans are really stupid about race

The Observer has just learned that Gawker blogger Seth Abramovitch was dismissed after a post that invoked a racial slur many considered to be in generally poor taste.
Gawker used to have such tasteful racial slurs, what happened?

but i was more rankled by his no-stakes apology. "sorries all around!" is like an apology from that girl from ucla that made that video about asians in the library.
"I'm sorry you were offended" apologies are the worst. I would rather have no apology at all than that because it is so insincere.

eh, just a white gay dude using the name of a dead black vogue queen, for lols, is all. maybe not explicitly racist but still kinda dumb and gross imho xp

i cant pinpoint what exactly, but I do think there's something a little weird about my white friends who have like big afro'd black basketball players from the 70s as their twitter avatars or like https://si0.twimg.com/profile_images/1266476149/Picture_2.png

I dunno, i'm not saying it makes me UNCOMFORTABLE, frogbullshit, but like elmo says, there is a little something curious about being privileged white male using a black person's picture to define your identity to the world?

besides just saying "it's a little curious" why don't you just point out what you think these people are trying to say? like almost all this is is either "I like this guy" or "I think this picture is cool". do you really have to point out "there's a 1% chance this is actually racist, so I'm going to call this out?"

dunno why its necessary to point out all the time "White guys are priviledged! Black guys are not!" but IMO this really seems like looking way too deep into something that is not that significant in the first place. do people really pick their twitter avatar because they want to say "This is me, this is my culture, this is how I grew up, and this is the level of priveledge I have"?
