Across the board–even on issues specifically concerning women–men are doing the talking.

i don’t understand how people believe that sexism doesn’t exist anymore.

Sometimes the world makes you angry or life is difficult and frustrating.
But then you go on tumblr and see pictures of pretty lesbians and cute fluffy animals. :)

this was some grade-A white woman bullshit

that entire show was grade-A white woman bullshit tbh

this movie should have just been called “Ugly Americans” though

i think the most histerically hypocritical issue with this bullshit film is that they were actually able to travel to Dubai (right?? am i wrong about the place) AND film the movie AND get actors to act in it—-but then spent half the movie talking shit about how conservative and backward and repressive the culture is? THEN HOW GOES YOU FILMING THAT SHIT.

fucking what? only the enlightened/poor folks showed up to play repressed Brown people in your movie.

As someone who grew up in the UAE (mostly in Dubai but I visited Abu Dhabi several times), this shit is not only racist and disrespectful, it’s wildly exaggerated. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are incredibly cosmopolitan, and if some fool ass white woman dropped her condoms and started going off, most Emirati folk (btw, the UAE is almost 90% expatriate populate, so most of the populance isn’t wearing burqas or dishdashas) would just laugh.

Oh, and btw, in the UAE you can buy condoms in the damn store same as the USA.

Signed,

Brown Girl who grew up hot and fashionable and having sex in the UAE.

Reblogging for that ^^^ commentary. 

okay listen

I know that white people have caused a lot of pain and suffering for a lot of people, and continue to do so

and that a lot of white people are ignorant and/or in denial about this

but I am a reasonable person who tries to be kind and I am trying to educate myself and ally myself with less privileged people and be a better person than my ancestors and maybe use my privilege to help undo some of the damage that they and my peers have caused

In return I would please ask everyone on tumblr to try not to make white people feel bad for being white

you can make us feel bad about being privileged and ignorant about it

or racist even if we don’t realize it

because we should

but I can’t help the situation I was born in

I can only use it to my and hopefully your advantage

okay thank you, bye

who the fuck asked you? was anybody talking to you?

lol thanks for going out of your way to befriend poc, saraconcoco. i’m sorry that your kind gesture isn’t met with complete subservience from tumblr users. 

poc have every reason to be angry at white culture (this movie is just another shining example).  how YOU respond to that anger is on YOU. besides, inserting yourself into conversations about these subjects is completely inappropriate. responding to peoples’ anger about an unjust world with “what about me? what about my feelings?” is not going to endear you to anyone. it’s an extremely privileged perspective to turn someone’s struggle for equality into a chance to talk about how you are special and/or better than other white people, and how poc should be extra sweet and understanding to you. don’t act as though they are somehow in your debt because you don’t treat them like shit.
