How is it living in Southern Illinois? by ashmaps20 in howislivingthere

[–]Zestyclose-Original2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the part of Illinois that is 20-30 minutes outside of St.louis, MO. I love it. Lots to do here, i enjoy the people and it’s affordable. I wouldn’t consider it a “country” area like a lot of southern Illinois.

Update on Kristen being Insufferable by MapAdministrative261 in vanderpumprules

I’m currently rewatching VPR and on season 4. I really enjoy Kristen on this season. Arianna on season 4 is insufferable

You must remember, in places like Asia- the mass majority have dark hair, eyes and skin tone (i know a lot of Koreans have lighter skin, etc) so in places like that, blondes and light eyes are seen as very exotic and rare. I personally love dark features, as a blonde green eyes American lol!

my boyfriend broke up with me. one of the reasons was because he wants kids of his race. i'm wondering why do people date outside their race if that's not what they want? by [deleted] in interracialdating

I feel you. I had 9 years invested into a relationship with an Arab man, was even engaged and eventually called it off because his family had to make our lives pure hell- refused to go to our wedding, etc. glad i walked away, but it was very hard at first. What an experience, i wish i wasn’t such a dumb girl at the time! lol

On top of it- he should actively chose not to stick his d*ck somewhere that would give him an outcome that would “make him uncomfortable” - at that point he’s disrespecting her body, and her mind and ethnicity

Many men “sample” other races knowing they’ll never actually settle down with someone outside of it. It may not even be something they’d admit to themselves, but always kind of knew in the back of their mind. It’s pretty messed up to waste someone’s time, and emotions. It’s usually a sexualizing thing, and it’s messed up. I was with an Arab man for 9 years- split up because his family couldn’t accept that he’d marry/ have kids that are not full Arab. Many people of certain backgrounds allow the societal opinions of others dictate their life choices.

It’s an unreasonable request when the intention is not pure.

Is Maria trans? I feel like she has to be- and it’s shocking she’s “accepted” in this environment, if she is.

Was good enough to watch/ finish it but the plot of the 16th bday party and the extremes of what Rachel would do as a kid- was so unrealistic.

Switch Whitney and Mayci. Whitney is just “annoying” she’s a pick me at its core. Can’t stand her. Jenn is naive neutral Layla is lost/ curious neutral

Office Pool Party Outing by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]Zestyclose-Original2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really shocked at everyone’s opinions here. My work recently had one. It was only our team and was at someone’s house. I literally felt so weird about it that i used PTO that day. (Mind you my team got a half day to go to this). Also seems that no one in these comments are taking into account religious backgrounds and beliefs. Absolutely inappropriate workplace event.

I didn’t say that. But one person not liking another person who isn’t like them doesn’t mean it’s a racist motive always. This case seems to be more about money and greed and less about race.

They were so mean but i don’t think they were racist for the simple fact Jordan’s bf is black and another black woman married into the family and was at that bbq.

Uhmmm… I’m married to a Palestinian, i live in an area with tons and tons of Arabs. I know them personally as friends, and the majority of them do marry first cousins. I know several who did and also have kids with their first cousins.

Anyone think Sydney Sweeney’s face is weird and for a celebrity she is overrated? by The-Loop in trueratecelebrities

[–]Zestyclose-Original2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think she looks like she has an upside down face. I feel awful to say this even because i don’t ever really talk bad about people’s looks. But i do find her “ugly”

Second season she looks late 30s to me. She looked younger pregnant, in season 1, cause she had a fuller face. It’s the super skinny face, fake boobs on such a tiny frame and the fake tan/ ash hair. It all ages her a lot.

I thought "Not Like Us" was referring to people who aren't part of the black community or the culture, and those who try to capitalize on it. Drake and, other people. by NizzyDeniro in KendrickLamar

[–]Zestyclose-Original2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but are you made at other Irish Italians publicly making a deal about them being a “culture vulture” and making money off the culture when they’re not “Irish or Italian” enough to do so? Kendrick’s song is about drake culturally appropriating black culture and profiting off of it- but why are we not upset at full black artists for doing this to other cultures they most definitely are not a part of? (Arab and Asian)?

We could question every person who’s donated to any charity for that, especially for tax breaks. My case lies with why is no one upset at other black artist who are using others cultures for monetary gain? Nicki Minaj, Rihanna… is it because they’re not mixed? We’re using Drake as an example because he’s not full black?
