The Council is considering a number of reforms proposed following the release of the recording,

A former Latina co-worker and Asian co-worker used to constantly disparage other minorities, including a Black co-worker. When I brought this up to the manager I was told that, despite being offended, I was not personally affected and that nothing would be addressed.

A few years ago, I read an article detailing how an overwhelming percentage of Mexicans and Mexican Americans consider themselves "white." I know for a fact that European Americans do NOT consider them so, and I always found the disconnect to be an interesting aspect of how "race" actually works in this (and other) countries.

I'm so glad we have Wonkette post to explain things. Reminds me of how Handmaids Tale, where June/Offred is white, and nicknamed her half black child "monkey"... people are understably pissed.

It’s a special kind of fucked up to discuss beating not your own kid (gross) but someone else’s kid (prison, that’s what you get for that) and then hand wavy that away like you’re doing us a favor by resigning. Ugh.

When do the hearings start?

Lol. If it isn’t the consequences of his own actions…

The hearing proper begins at 1:00 pm, Eastern, but MSNBC had already begun pre-hearing discussion of what is forthcoming.

Just a reminder that the US is a prison and the rest of the world is terrified on our behalf. Bet the cops are white here.
