Keep Out, Claudia! Part The End!
Greetings, lovelies! How is everyone doing this fine, sweltering day? Me? I'm sweltering. But I'm also productive so, I finished this bitch up! I also wanted to announce that this will be my last post on LJ. After that I'm switching to Dreamwidth. I'll probably be deleting my whole account within the next month. Sorry about that but LJ's kinda

Unless Dawn admitted that so she wouldn't have to deal with Frau Hitler.
POS POTUS.
Who just said that Bill O'Reilly has done nothing wrong in sexually harassing women.
to cut funding for children.
No birth control for poor women, no prenatal care for pregnant poor women, no medical care during or after delivery for poor women, no WIC to keep those poor women healthy enough to care for their babies, no food stamps to keep the poor babies fed. Somehow this is considered to be pro-life.
Oh, wait, the whores should have thought of that before falling onto a penis, and the men are innocent victims.
I swear those idiots are just trying to make sex consequence-free for men and to make women guilty whores for ever having sex and babies into things who should starve as punishment for the whores who should have kept an aspirin between their knees but who are frigid if they don't let the mighty penis have them. It's a man's right, you know.
At least that's how the SCROTUS, who wanted his younger daughter, Tiffany, aborted now sees it.
Just to disclose, I'm one of the women who skews the average number of partners the typical woman has way up. So if anyone's a whore, it's me, and that's a name I'll wear with honor.
First I want to point out how really sheltered kids in the 'brook are by Claudia saying she never thought there was anything different about her. That people would treat her differently due to her race.
Again this doesn't jibe with Jessi's claims that people have been rampantly racist to her family.
being Mexican was shameful so I was never taught Spanish.
Honey, I wish you could have lived where I did as a kid. Being Mexican was such a source of pride that being called Hispanic was an insult since Hispanic encompasses many nationalities while Mexican is just Mexico. You WOULD have known how to reply to ¿Cómo estás?, probably with a few slang or swear words tossed in for good measure, because the language was spoken as much as English. I was fluent without taking any classes in school and without my parents knowing it.
That town's now pretty different though. It's tanked like so many other places in California's Central Valley. But at least if you had been a kid in Modesto in the 80's, you'd have been proud of your race and nationality.
Just because it's positive doesn't make it any less racist.
Noticing race exists doesn't make someone racist. Pretending to ignore race does. And the way these books mention race so fucking bluntly in every book is a problem.
As a kid, I was bothered at how they pretended to not care when the way they mentioned her race made it clear that it's something they pay attention to all the time. Why not talk about how her she's influenced by the kimono her grandmother brought from Japan, or her family regularly participates in this tradition from Japan? We would understand that her culture and race are Japanese. Instead it's always "She's Japanese." Okay. Tell us something that makes this relevant to who she is as a person. Same for Jessi. "Also, Mallory is white and Jessi is black." Full stop. Um...MAKE IT RELEVANT.
