I love the AV Club, but they made a serious misstep in publishing this white whine.
People who use “politically correct” or any derivation of it.

eisenfieldloveforever asked: I'm really sorry if that girl offended you,and she does not represent us as a fandom.
Okay, good to know. Thanks.
*Let me correct you though: you should be saying, “I’m sorry for that girl’s racism.”
I’m not offended, really. Shit like that does not phase me. I find it HILARIOUS. It’s 2012 and bitches are still calling us ‘coloured’— and then sitting there, when they stand corrected, complaining about being unfairly attacked but not accepting the criticism.
Collect one of your fangirls. She just said ‘colored women’ to me in a conversation. LOL.
I’m going to let it slide because she’s 16 but fucking seriously, go collect her.
Also, shame on any of you who think— like this girl does— that shows like Girls that are pegged as the universal voice of a generation shouldn’t have to have characters of color. Shame on you if you say, in earnest, “there’s a lot of shows out there that represent coloured women.” If you say something like this— hell, if you think like this— you’re a fucking racist and YOU SHOULD NOT BE FOLLOWING THIS BLOG.
Seriously, collect your people, guys.
1. Know when to shut the fuck up, sit down, and listen
2. Take criticism
3. Recognize micro-aggressions, and confront them head-on
4. Don’t commit micro-aggressions
5. Correct whitey when whitey is wrong
6. Understand that whitey is wrong a lot
7. Understand that just because you’ve had a few race classes doesn’t mean you understand the lived experiences of people of color
8. Know that people of color aren’t your personal google search engine— do your own research
9. Understand that we are more than our skin color— but don’t erase our experiences as people of color with all that “colorblind” mess because we can’t with that, we just can’t
10. Like many many many have said: don’t expect a cookie for meeting the basic requirements of a human being— curb your motherfucking entitlement yo
