“Survivor: Race Wars” kicked off last night. I did watch it for MMW’s sake but I have to admit I fell asleep towards the end there. Sorry, I don’t really see the appeal of the show. I guess I’m more a Project Runway kind of girl. Thankfully, others were paying closer attention than I was, […]

Lots of people drink wine. You see ads in magazines and TV commercials hawking wine and the festive times or intimate settings of wine drinkers. But you’d never know that whites are not the only ones who enjoy this drink.  Although vintners with wine tasting rooms are for the most […]

JCSo, imagine you’re a congressional candidate…think. think. think. What’s really gonna spice up your campaign?…think, dammit! Oh, YES! That’s it! Make racial profiling your cause and then make commercials about it. Great way to go. Ok, Mark Flanagan’s a (R), but still.

See? Who says nothing good would come out of this new season of “Survivor: Race Wars?” The show’s host, Jeff Probst, has already learned some valuable multiculti lessons, as documented by The Washington Post:

This link is a collection of movie clips put together to demonstrate how Arabs have been depicted as mindless killers in Hollywood. Many of us don’t even realize it when it happens, but these images that we receive throughout our lives brainwash us to one extent or another in […]

Jen and I are huge fans of Jennifer Beals. Why? Well we are, of course, children of the 80s and have probably watched Flashdance about 97 times between the both of us. But that’s not the only reason we love her.
If you’ve never heard or read her speech at the 2005 GLAAD Image Awards, you […]

Well, the sensitivity needs to end. This is the advice of Kenneth Arroyo Roldan in his new book, Minority Rules. This review explains […]

RT (a new MMW guest contributor!)
Let’s say you have long-in-the-tooth tv program that no one has been watching for years. To boost the ratings, you decide to tweak the format, focusing solely on race in a divisive manner. Knowing everyone talk about it, but generally in a negative way, you want to silence critics, so […]
