at any rate, my reaction to this continues to be a parallel track of "lol!" and "WTF"

I don't think it's weird that a kid wrote it at all. Like someone already said, it's a perfect example of kids learning about roles and ways of categorizing people. It's just a sad reflection of WHAT they're learning, which is to police other kinds of people in order to keep them in their place. Which is lower than your place. And that that is important.

Esp sad w/r/t the "women keeping other women down" problem. Really kills the lols for me even tho I do not have the slightest problem with the word "bitch" as a thing.

The other side of genetic power today (Laurel), Friday, 5 March 2010 19:59 (fourteen years ago) link

Also the item about Spanish bitches who think they're hot b/c of their hair, this is fucked up about beauty standards on ALL sides: that Hispanics are people of color who are "lucky" enough to have "white" hair instead of "black" hair, and oh fuck just everything.

The other side of genetic power today (Laurel), Friday, 5 March 2010 20:01 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah but combine that with the one about short hair bitches; the bottom line here is that nobody wins

Bunsen burner, bubbles, IT'S ALIVE! whaaaaa-? (HI DERE), Friday, 5 March 2010 20:03 (fourteen years ago) link

Is Hispanic even the preferred term at this point? I have no idea. Latino?

The other side of genetic power today (Laurel), Friday, 5 March 2010 20:04 (fourteen years ago) link

wise latina

mookieproof, Friday, 5 March 2010 20:04 (fourteen years ago) link

"hispanics" have just nicer hair than white people generally imo (full disclosure: i am "hispanic").

lol @ "memos" btw

goole, Friday, 5 March 2010 20:05 (fourteen years ago) link

once i got snarked on by some kids from yale for using hispanic instead of latino

call all destroyer, Friday, 5 March 2010 20:05 (fourteen years ago) link

what i admire about the list is it has a depth and a breath. you can't say the author didn't really think about the various kinds and categories of bitches

Mr. Que, Friday, 5 March 2010 20:05 (fourteen years ago) link

xps i am also "white" as well for whatever it's worth.

DJ Get Up Kids (jim in glasgow), Friday, 5 March 2010 20:05 (fourteen years ago) link

fuck a yalie btw

call all destroyer, Friday, 5 March 2010 20:05 (fourteen years ago) link

Did you snark back on them for being from Yale?

xp: lol

Bunsen burner, bubbles, IT'S ALIVE! whaaaaa-? (HI DERE), Friday, 5 March 2010 20:06 (fourteen years ago) link

did you just call Justice Sotomayor a bitch

Mr. Que, Friday, 5 March 2010 20:06 (fourteen years ago) link

The Spanish bitches that I've noticed around usually have their hair pulled back so tightly that they're losing it at the roots if they're over 17. So ymmv.

The other side of genetic power today (Laurel), Friday, 5 March 2010 20:06 (fourteen years ago) link

hispanic and latino mean two different things, both are correct terminology but are not interchangeable. also i found that particular line item hilarious.

everyone kills people (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Friday, 5 March 2010 20:20 (fourteen years ago) link

the distinction i was aware of is that hispanic could refer to any spanish speaker from both hemispheres while latino is necessarily confined to ppl from latin america

my wife has taken to drinking apple juice diluted with water these days; if you didn't think there was a way to make apple juice look even more like urine, let me tell you that you are wrong

OTM. Though so many of these are pejorative, the cumulative effect is a sense of awe and respect for b*****s in all their infinite variety.

fwiw I don't know why ILE admin actions were turned off, but they're turned on now; that shouldn't happen again
