“I’d care if you died.”
Teen Wolf AU: When Derek returns half-dead once again, Stiles thinks it’s about time someone told him he is the only one who doesn’t see how much he means to other people.
i almost believed this and i watched the episode lol
…up to 200,000 people angry with high costs and poor public services took to the streets. Protesters in Rio de Janeiro burned cars and looted buildings as police attempted to disperse them with teargas and rubber bullets. Aerial images showed thousands of people attempting to storm the congress building in Brasilia. The rallies…are some of the biggest ever seen in the country…

Without ‘Cultural appropriation’ we wouldn’t have Ska, think about that, think about it long and hard.
That’s not cultural appropriation…you shouldn’t use words if you don’t know what they mean…
and besides the white boy ska that OP is referring to is a shittier take on actual ska and Jamaican music. like, super shitty.

Still one of my favorite political cartoons ever. As relevant now as in 2006.
I’ve posted this before, I don’t really care.
“Ageing isn’t the nicest thing. You end up feeling like you couldn’t go to Los Angeles because (she stretches the skin of her face) it hasn’t been put in the right place. They put old people away somewhere.”

Not every white person is a racist, but the genius of racism is that you don’t have to participate to enjoy the spoils. If you’re white, you can be completely oblivious, passively accepting the status quo, and reap the rewards.

A very good definition of privilege.

“After this I go to work at a pizza shop. My wife and I were college professors in Bangladesh. I taught accounting. But one dollar in America becomes eighty dollars when we send it back home.”
People forget, when immigrants come to this country they start from scratch. They could have been lawyers in their home country, but in the US..it means nothing. You think a HS diploma from Bangladesh means anything in this country? My mom was a top student in the country, went to all the best school and got the best of everything…but when she got here it meant squat and she was cleaning other people’s homes and scrubbing their toilets. This is why I get pissed of when people talk smack about immigrants. They at least are doing something…..heading for a goal..making sacrifices…what are you doing with your life?
^ My parents were college-educated teachers in their home country and came to the U.S. with nothing but empty pockets, a dash of hope, and a belief in God. They also scrubbed toilets in people’s homes to make enough to provide for their children, and that’s probably not something a lot of educated professionals would be able to do. I know I wouldn’t be able to do it. Pride would get in the way.
THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT.
and folks in other countries are overqualified for their jobs, too… :/
my fam, for instance… but yeah, the struggle lives on
