“The test of how racist you are is not how many people of color you can count as friends,” I recall someone telling me—I can’t remember who now. “It’s how many white people you’re willing to talk to about racism.”
^^ I disagree. I don’t think you need to count how many _white_ people you’re willing to talk to about racism. That assumes for some reason that all racists are white, and that’s patently untrue. I’m Asian-American, and I can be just as racist as the white guy down the block. The test should be how many _people_ you’re willing to talk to. Period.Deeply Embarrassed White People Talk Awkwardly About Race

“Me love you long time” came into prominence with Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket,” (from 1987) as a Vietnamese prostitute tries to pick up Matthew Modine’s character with broken English. The phrase was then popularly picked up by 2 Live Crew in the song “Me So Horny.” “It’s so many different kinds of slurs in one,” comedian Margaret Cho said. “It’s instantly putting you in the position of being a foreigner, an outsider and a sexual stereotype. It’s an all-in-one combo.”

The popularization by Mariah Carey’s ‘Love You Long Time,’ Fergie’s ‘London Bridge,’ and Nicki Minaj’s ““Muahhhh me love you long time like I’m asian” demonstrates how this exotification of Asian/A.American women is constantly recycled in the media, perpetuated by celebrities to obtain the hyper-sexualized image needed to make it big, especially if you ain’t got the talent.
I would get started on Nicki’s whole hyper-sexualized, Japanese dolled up shit, but racialious says it best. Well researched: here http://www.racialicious.com/2010/11/01/the-orientalism-of-nicki-minaj/
You can degrade yourself, but no, my sisters and I will NOT love you long time.
Yes for the commentary.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqvn8nec641qjjb8do1_400.jpg)

When the one you love breaks your heart by leaving you, you don’t fall into his arms when he says sorry, like Bella, you punch him, like Hermione.
THAT’S OUR GIRL!
DAMN STRAIGHT.
THIS. SO MUCH.

elbbrian asked: You've been pretty vocal about Stephanie Brown being retconned out as a Robin. While I can appreciate liking a character, why do you feel her being a Robin is so important? I guess, from my perspective, I don't get why it's a big deal because I've always seen the Robin as the male Batman protege position and Batgirl as the female one and that they are equal in the Bat-family hierarchy with the tie breaker going to experience. So, Stephanie not being a Robin doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
Because she was a Robin. Batman asked her to be Robin and she served as a Robin. Why do you think...
