Shetty really did act like a pompous princess at times and needed to be called out on it.

Fair enough. If Goody had called her a pompous princess and attacked her character as such, that would be fine.

But how is attacking Shetty in racist ways justified by Shetty being a diva?

Ms. Anthropia: if a black person was acting like an insensitive jerk, how would YOU refer to them?

A.] An insensitive jerk.

B.] A ni**er.

What if a Jewish woman was acting like a drama queen - which one of these would you call her?

A.] A drama queen.

B.] A k*ke.

I'm guessing you would say choice "B" is perfectly acceptable in both situations - even though the race of the person has nothing inherently to do with what an assh*le they are.

Don't worry, though. This concept is lost on most bigoted honky WASPs...oops. =)

As for Goody?

I will shed no tears for the death of a racist.

And the fact that her cervical cancer developed soon after her despicable bigotry toward Shetty?

Ha! Icing on the karmic cake.

May Jade be reborn as a deeply dark-skinned, dirt poor Bangladeshi...

Just a reminder:

You lost the Presidency.

You lost the House.

You lost the Senate.

And you're no longer relevant to anyone other than your fellow rich WASP evangelical suburbanites who fear and loathe anyone who dares to look, think, worship or love differently than them.

Any questions?

Flame on, if you must...

Read yesterday's New York Post.

The comic...hehehe =)...equates our nation's first black President with a lunatic monkey who - get this! - gets shot dead by a couple of white cops! LOL!!

Way to give it to that liberal socialist commie Neg-ro, right?! *nudge* *nudge* Hahaha!

Sincerely,

Your fellow American conservatives

Arbiters of tasteful, crap-free political humor

No?

Then please do not take your dog to SouthEast Asia.

Dogs are at best stray, diseased vermin to many of these people - and at worst a tasty dinner entree.

To those who say, "Well, ,some SE Asians do NOT eat dogs and even have them as pets" - how the heck is the LW supposed to know the exact cultural mores of the area to which she migrates?

Yes, it might be a Western-oriented pet-loving town...or Lucy might get stolen for stir-fry within a week of leaving quarantine.

Bottom line: if you love the pooch, DO NOT SUBJECT HER TO DANGER.

Leave her in the good ol' USA...if not with her first owner, give her for free to a loving person/family you have carefully screened.

Simply put, killing people is not acceptable. Islam has nothing to do with it.

Okay...except that Islam / the Koran justifies killing in the name of God / Allah.

(And yes, so does Christianity / the Bible. As an agnostic, I certainly don't refute that!)

Hence, for example, stoning a woman to death just because she (allegedly) talked to an unrelated male - among other ways to murder females - is acceptable practice in Islamic culture*.

Why are white American feminists such as Lynn Harrisalways tripping over each other to act as apologists for such misogynistic, barbaric acts?

Because apparently being politically correct trumps everything else in their liberal identity. They sell out their sisterhood just to avoid any possible (unwarranted) accusation of racism or xenophobia.

That is really tragic to me.

Islamic religion & Islamic culture - is there really a difference?

Same question could be asked about Jewish religion, Jewish culture and Jewish identity. How are they not one and the same? Just sayin'...

...once I grasped the concept of critical thinking.

I was able to figure out the the 5 o'clock news was just a bunch of fearmongering sensationalism, designed to scare suburban white folk into buying the usual stereotypes - black people are all illiterate gangbangers, brown people are dangerous terrorists or illegal immigrants out to take jobs - and that the world outside of Shady Oaks McMansions was generally going to hell.

So spare me the "nobility of journalism" argument. Whether it be the local newspaper or the Channel 5 Investigative Journalism Unit, I refuse to shed a tear for hacks who secretly hope for tragedy - tornado? homicide? child abuse scandal? - to happen so as to boost ratings or readership.

That's awesome! When it comes to acting skills, Cate could wipe the floor with Miss Gwynnie.
