There's really interesting social science on how white people significantly overestimate the number of people of color in a room or in a picture. A room with, like, 20% POC will be perceived as majority POC.
White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
85% of CEOs are white men.
All but one US President has been a white man.
65% of all elected offices are held by white men.
Roughly 30% of the population is white men.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Pirate the series. Make your own physical media. That's the only answer when this happens and they haven't put it out any other way.

As I said before, The Brands(tm) are gonna be shoveling Harry Potter pretty heavily, with the new show coming out. They want people excited about the franchise, so everyone makes bank.
Please, all I ask is that you resist all that.

since I've been reliably told On Here that people only read headlines, worth noting that the headline is "Trump’s handling of the economy is at its lowest point in AP-NORC polling" and the overall approval number (which has been in 30s since fall) is declining less steeply *in contrast to economy*
lol wut. dropping from 42 percent approval to 36 percent approval seems pretty significant. apnews.com/article/trum...

Sometimes I think white peoples obsession with rewhitening media is a form of self-soothing, like sucking your thumb. if all the lantern jawed manly white men and submissive blonde thin women return, things will be okay again and the world won’t be so scary again.

Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics!
