…I noticed that under the large title CRÈME BRÛLÉE the tagline read, “America’s Favorite Dessert.” Which I think is stretching the truth an awful lot, because nothing with three different diacritical marks is ever going to be America’s Favorite anything.

Flame on

Seriously.

…could you please respect the preference of a vast majority of blacks, latinos/hispanics and asians of this nation who prefer to be called, collectively, “people of color,” rather than “minorities

Herman, commenting on Hispanic? Latino? Or What?

Being…hapa, I like to think I’m less a minority now than when I was born. That said, “minorities” is definitely a sticky word. “People of color” makes me twitchy and unreasonably (to some) grumpy.

(Hahah. Tumblr! You’re killing me, dropping that last “! I know it’s a quote, but dude.)
