I think it's mostly this, and the damage has been done on a deep scale. It would take years for this to change. How does one change something that has been deeply ingrained by a dominant culture. For example, I've met many black people (and Latin America can take it to a whole different cranked...

As an Afro-Caribbean person (Haitian), I've never heard of this. However, I have had many black people tell me I'm not black due to being Afro-Caribbean. I've also heard "black" being used to only refer to "African-Americans". Strange world. Most Afro-Caribbeans I've met and known don't mind...

Hmmm.... The way I clean raw chicken, I rinse it over water while rubbing it with a lime or lemon (get crazy stares), but apparently most people just drain the chicken juice out the pack and cook it. I don't drink because I don't like the taste. I don't find bacon or ranch to be...

It's a weird one, the death of a child is the drive of the story, but is more so centered around the father's trauma. I'll just say it kind of tricks you into thinking that it would be all the things you hate. But eh, the choice is your's. Oh, should have made a note that I hope you don't...

Gosh...Every minor villain in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Thank you all. I get really nervous when typing these things out because I do not want to be seen as a b**** or throwing a pity party, but unfortunately, that's the reality of it, especially living in a very Western society. There are some posts that I find interesting such as the comparison...

As a black woman, a Yahtzee fan, and a long time lurker of Escapist forums (as well as other similar forums; I'm trying my best to spend as less time on the internet as possible these days), I try my best to avoid these sort of topics because they tend to bring out the ugly of people and hold...
