Between this and Yogagate, all I can do is lol and shrug.

[redstar826]

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is yogagate?

[checkerdandy]

I can't believe it hasn't been posted here yet: It Happened To Me: There Are No Black People In My Yoga Classes And I'm Suddenly Feeling Uncomfortable With It (Warning: Actual White Woman Tears)

I still can't get over that she cried. SHE LITERALLY CRIED.

[checkerdandy]

YOU DONT KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE A SELF-OBSESSED SKINNY WHITE WOMAN IN A TASTEFULLY TACKY SPORTS BRA.

[girly123]

HER DESPAIR AND RESENTMENT OVER MY THING WHITE GIRL BODY WAS LITERALLY RADIATING OFF OF HER, BECAUSE CLEARLY A BLACK WOMAN CAN'T BE IN MY PRESENCE WITHOUT FEELING JEALOUS OF HOW THIN AND WHITE I AM

"Tastefully tacky" is, like, my new favorite phrase. Sounds like a hipster store.

[redstar826]

oh wow. thanks

[nesmith]

I just . . . I . . . wow.

[soleiltropiques]

This is seriously fucked up.

Wow.

....wow. Just... wow. I understand she was trying to be ~self-aware but it just comes off like she learned about racism from a bunch of Tumblr blogs run by white people, and hasn't actually met a WoC in real life.

Did it never occur to her that maybe she doesn't black people in her yoga class because they have some weird fucking white girl staring at them with tears in her eyes, so they don't come back?

I just read it! I hadn't heard the name Yogagate though. :D

"I just posed there, feeling whiter and skinnier while this black woman judged me..."

[alryssa]

lol ikr? what a hot fucking mess, which could have been so easily resolved with a simple, "Hey, are you okay?" right at the start, but she chose to create this imagined exchange in her head and angst over it to the point of TEARS instead, I just can't.

[deadsong]

What the actual narcissistic fuck did I just read?

[wrestlingdog]

...WTF.

[jeliza]

I just found the most awesome reponse to that thing yet: It happened to me: a white girl on the subway
