TRANSCRIPT ! (contains n word)
Power to the people!
No, it’s okay. I’ve read bell hooks.
I totally understand racism now. I mean, I’m dating a black girl.
But… you look white, so why do you even care?
Obama’s my nigga! Wait, am I allowed to say that around you?
I mean like, we’re talking about sexism here and you’re getting way off topic with your race issues!
That really, really doesn’t apply to me, I’m sorry…
I feel like if we keep focusing on racism, then the real issue of capitalism will be way overlooked.
Didn’t you hear? Women is the nigger of the world.
Why do you guys feel the need to have separate groups?
How do we get more people of color like you in our organization? You’re really different.
What do you think about Obama? Oh, you don’t like him either? Oh, I thought you would, because, you know….
This is so cool that you’re here.
I’m queer, so I understand racism. I mean, gay is the new black.
I’m an anarchist, I don’t have any white privilege. I don’t even believe in this government, like what? Why are you trying to pin this on me?
We should focus on more important issues here, other than racism. I mean like capitalism, for instance. That’s the real problem here.
No, I hate white people too, don’t get me wrong. I hate white people.
Oh my god your hair is natural? That’s really good, because I saw Good Hair, and I can’t believe people are actually doing it to their hair, like I don’t understand.
Do you know shadism actually exists?
What do you mean, check my privilege? What do you mean, check my privilege? I don’t have any privilege, I’m a woman.
I don’t have any privilege, I’m trans.
I don’t have any privilege, I’m queer.
No it’s okay, I’ve read Malcolm X.
I don’t date white girls, they don’t get it like you do.
You’re really angry.
You’re really angry, why don’t you calm down?
So why can’t I call you Spanish?
So why can’t I call you yellow? You’re a person of color right?
So wait, what’s cultural appropriation? I just thought it was respect of other people’s cultures.
Islam is such an oppressive religion for women.
Whoa, now you’re getting racist towards white people.
I really hate being white, I mean it sucks.
I don’t see why you’re bringing up race, we’re all fighting the same struggle here. I mean, look, see? (Shows Occupy 99% shirt) C’mon!
I’m not racist, but… (repeats)
I don’t wanna sound racist, but…
So why can’t I wear a bindi?
So why do you wear a hijab? I thought you were a feminist.
No it’s okay, I read Tim Wise.
That’s not my experience, so you’re wrong
I didn’t know people like you cared.
So why is “colored” wrong again?
So why do you want me to call you indigenous?
If you believe in equality, then why should I treat you any differently?
No no no, I think everyone is equal. When I make racist jokes, I’m just kidding.
So what are you?
So where are you from? No, I mean like, what coutnry. Oh, you don’t know? Because of slavery.
I don’t see color. In fact, sometimes I forget you’re not white.
I saw Roots.
I really wish I wasn’t white.
There’s no such thing as white privilege. You’re just throwing that phrase around you saw on tumblr.
I have heard most of these… and the day that I hear some of these I am going to punch a hole in something.

I can’t imagine living a life where I didn’t get ridiculously excited about things.

The best part about drinking tim hortons apple cinnamon tea that you sweetened with molasses yourself out of an old mcdonalds coffee cup is the fact that the molasses were solid and you tore open the carton trying to get at them so now you have to bake to use up all them molasses.
Alternatively, the best part is bein’ classy while you drink.

People have told us “if you want your daughter to play with other LEGOs, buy them for her!” Those of us with daughters have and will. But this isn’t just about parents and their kids; it’s about all children. By age 2, children internalize the narrow messages about gender sent to them by culture and media. By age 5, they’re concerned with expressing those roles as best as they can. These internalized expectations follow them through their lives: research shows that exposure to stereotypical notions of gender in media can affect girls’ and women’s performance in math, and discourages girls and women from stepping outside the perceived bounds of femininity.
In other words, even kids who will never own a LEGO set in their lives are absorbing the messaging of this hyper-gendered marketing campaign. When girls see commercial after commercial of other girls hanging out by the pool, doing their hair, cruising in their convertible, and playing with animals, they begin to think that those are they ways they’re supposed to play; that those are the things they’re supposed to do now and in the future. Meanwhile, toys marketed to boys—including pretty much any LEGO that isn’t part of the Friends line—send a much healthier message that boys can be anything: cops, spacemen, pirates, kings, city workers, engineers, presidents.
We want LEGO, who by their own mission are “not about products, but … human possibility,” to really think about the messages their current marketing is sending. We want pastel colors, cupcakes, robots, and wizards to live side by side in the most fantastical adventures that kids can think of. We want boys and girls to play together with a variety of toys in a variety of colors, not separately with different versions of the same product.

I took my brothers’ LEGO sets and made houses for single dads. I don’t know what was wrong with me.
