April 11, 20214 yr Dows this mean in about 6 months or so when my wife receives her "Masters" degree I will then become her slave by default? I mean that's cool and all, especially if she wears that tight black latex thingy I like.
April 11, 20214 yr Cancel Masterchef! The name is clearly a slavery reference and not a reference to the most talented armature chefs in the country.

I've often thought that these categorical associations of general terms or aesthetics as "racist" are, more or less, just ironic projections of the embedded stereotypes that these people are ostensibly combatting. A good example of this was the syrup fiasco. When they went after Aunt Jemima, I could at least see a kernel of rationale behind it, because the origins of that image were rooted in Jim-crow era stereotypes from minstrel shows, but then it morphed from that to attacking any image of a large lady in an apron. Enter Mrs. Buttersworth: Even though there is nothing particularly racist in the history of that image, the rationalization of "cancelling" her was that she had a "matronly figure," one that was "reminiscent of the black 'mammy' stereotype," but it was based on a real person famous in that era. Then it was Uncle Ben, who was actually a real guy in the South who sold rice. I guess his image could only be readily associated with Southern racism for some people, though. The point is that what might start as legitimate efforts to re-define some true vestiges of racism often morph into projections of subconscious bias. The fact that some people can't just see an old black guy in suspenders and a wide-brimmed hat without thinking "that's a poor black sharecropper" oddly just shows that they automatically associate black people with slavery, destitution, and subjugation. Otherwise, you'd just see a black guy on a box dressed to the time period and, considering the context of being a national spokesperson for a popular brand, that should be actually be seen as something that is somewhat liberating and that provides a greater degree of agency and prominence to a class of people whose humanity has historically been disregarded.

When I wrote "Only if you are a simpleton who deals only in absolutes.", I actually posted exactly what you wrote but it got autocorrected. Weird

April 15, 20214 yr JFC, do not make me defend Kendall Jenner Quote 3 years after George Clooney sold his tequila brand for a billion dollars, people are calling out Kendall Jenner for launching her own tequila company Almost immediately after posting a fun-filled Instagram announcement revealing her new tequila brand, 818, Kendall Jenner started taking some heat. While many friends, fans, and family members praised the model and reality star's new business venture, which she kept a secret for nearly four years, many critics on social media say Jenner has no right to get into the tequila-making industry because she is not Mexican. The critical comments range from people asking Jenner to give credit to the distillery in Jalisco where her tequila was made and to the workers involved in making the drink to accusations of cultural appropriation. The question of whether any non-Mexican person making tequila should be considered cultural appropriation is not for us, or any one person, to decide. But seeking some further insight on the issue, we spoke to Marie Sarita Gaytán, the associate professor of sociology and gender studies and author of "¡Tequila!: Distilling the Spirit of Mexico," who shared her thoughts on the criticism — and in particular, why the outrage over Jenner's venture is so prominent when she's just the latest in a long line of non-Mexican celebrities to make their own tequila. https://www.insider.com/kendall-jenner-tequila-cultural-appropriation-accusation-expert-responds-2021-2?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=sf-bi-main&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR2xWdw1lAeJoZUwW2IGPssRVIWMbcMhjK5lA7oQxyLFEPkqONqLohDIG_k
