Stanley Crouch of the New York Daily News ponders the rising rates of black female-white male relationships. He attributes the growth of these couples to the vast shortage of black men available to black women. He blames high rates of incarceration and fear of medical care. Thanks to Kim D. for the heads up on […]

An article in AsianWeek questions why everyone is so blase about the recent attacks at Princeton University, in which 28-year-old doctoral student Michael Lohman (pictured) surreptitiously cut locks of hair from at least nine Asian women, poured his urine and semen into the drinks of Asian women more than 50 times, and stole Asian women’s […]

(Thanks to Asian Dude for this one!) Blog Purifying Flames questions the double standard of media coverage surrounding the Princeton attacks on Asian women. Why is it that these attacks are described merely as “lewd behavior,” when an almost-identical case involving all white female victims is referred to as “assault” and involves much harsher punishment?
As […]

Wow, this guy wins the Asian Fetishist of the Year award. Princeton grad student Michael J. Lohman was arrested for more than 50 incidents of harassment targeting Asian women on the Princeton University campus. His crimes? Stealing panties, cutting locks of hair, squirting into women’s drinks… should I go on? Here’s a report from ZWire:
Investigators […]

Woah. Last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model was… interesting. They did a photo shoot where each model was transformed into an ethnicity different from their own, and were supposed to emote that ethnicity from within, or something. In one priceless moment, Tyra berated a model for not emoting “Eskimo” enough, saying: “Think about […]

But is she back? The show looks horrible! Check out this wonderfully sarcastic opinion piece (thanks for the tip, George!) from the New York Post about Kirstie Alley’s new sitcom (in which she plays herself), Fat Actress. This show sounds offensive on so many different levels…but I’m here to focus on one. The […]

The New York Times reviews new release, Angry Black White Boy - Or, The Miscegenation of Macon Detornay, by Adam Mansbach. Main character Macon Detornay is a “down whiteboy” who attempts to atone for his people’s sins and find acceptance within the black community by attacking and terrorizing other white people.
A graduate of Newton South […]

I too saw ‘In Race We Lust’ last night. I agree that it did a pretty good job of talking about lots of the stereotypes.
What i did not like were the sections where they polled the various interviewees about which mixed celeb is more this or that (insert race). Like asking people who they […]

Tragic mulattos, of course! The last segment of Ego Trip’s Race-O-Rama aired on VH1 last night and it was very funny, and really quite good. The episode was titled “In Race We Lust” and explored all the taboo and stereotypes surrounding interracial couples and their mixed-race offspring. People in the mixed community probably wouldn’t have […]

VH1 will mark Black History Month with an array of original documentaries and specials including “Ego Trip’s Race-O-Rama,” which will air February 21-23 at 9 PM.
I’m looking forward to it, as I thoroughly enjoyed VH1 and Ego Trip’s last collaboration, “TV’s Illest Minority Moments,” a hilarious look at the way minorities have been misrepresented […]

Ugh. I don’t even know where to start with this one. A columnist on the Electronic Urban Report has written an opinion piece called “Black Women–The Dead Breed?” It’s the typical “not that I’m against black men dating outside their race, but…” article, only this one is on OVERDRIVE.
This is not to imply that it […]
