There are sadly serious ethical issues involved with the practice of adoption, especially from developing countries. Luckily, the difference of skin colour between parents and children isn't one of them.
What are those issues? (Seriously asking, not criticising)
Load More Replies...I walked to work past an abortion clinic (back before it was made illegal in my state).Every time there were protesters, I'd ask how many kids they'd adopted. Not aggressive, just curious. Not one
Thats because these people think they are pro-life when they are just anti abortion and cannot see the difference. They dont do anything to help the lives of children already in the foster system. Its a religious and power trip, they think their religious beliefs gives them the right to tell women what to do with their body, and old white men are just on a power trip because apparently they can be.
Load More Replies...All adoptive parents should realize their children are going to be curious about who they are, where they come from, what their biological parents and families are like. We are all curious about ourselves, even if we’re not adopted. Why do you think DNA tests and genealogy websites are so popular? So parents who adopt children from a different race, ethnicity, culture, etc should be respectful of that, and learn as much as they can about their child’s background so they can help their child learn about themself. When that child gets old enough to find their bio family, please remember it’s not a snub on their adoptive parents, it’s just them learning about themself so they can be more comfortable in their own skin, and blend their two families together. Yes, as teenagers they can get a bit stroppy about it and say things that hurt. But teenagers say that to biological parents too at that age. Don’t give up on them because they’re just being teenagers. Of course, that’s only if what they find out about their biological family makes them want to have them in their lives. Sometimes children are put up for adoption, either through adoption agencies or the foster care system, for very good reasons, including the horrible unsuitability of their biological families. In those cases, it is essential that the adoptive parents never waiver in their live and support of their child.
*knocks the soft can-opener's paints on the floor, so everybody can be whatever color they like*
Do you have any invisible paint? I'd like invisible... for reasons.
Load More Replies...That's awesome, Dogs! I'm adopted too - I'm white and my adoptive family is Mexican. :) My cousins liked to tease me growing up - whenever I stood next to a wall that was painted white they'd go "Where's Crystal??? Where'd she go?" (ha ha, very funny!) But honestly they're 100% my family - they have never treated me as an outsider. I'm sure you understand :D
Load More Replies...I think any child that can find a loving home no matter their race or the race of the adopted parents should get that. I do think however it is important to understand their ethnic culture. I think parents of adopted children of a different race need to understand that there are certain conversations that cultures have with their children as they grow up. They may be safe in their surroundings (sometimes) but black children do need to be told about racism before they go out in to the world. They have to understand how they are seen by law enforcement and how they rest of the world may see them. At the end though each child deserves a great home and loving parents, people just need to be sure that they are educating themselves when they adopt children of other races.
He's Also 1 Million Times More Useful Than She'll Ever Be
I'd rather have a partner who is generous, earns a steady income, who's concerned about my well-being and at the same time challenges me to become a better me, than some hot guy who only cares about his looks and popularity. Not that all hot guys are that way, but: looks does not the man make. Attitude does.
Those characteristics are what make my man hotter than a sun spot
Load More Replies...I'm once again reminded of that episode of Scrubs where this insanely hot patient is married to a short chunky guy who wears nerd glasses, and Elliot makes a fool of herself by saying "this must be your Hobbit, uh, husband!". At the end of the episode, the woman tells her lots of hot guys wanted to be with her, but the man who was always there for her was the one she married.

We cringe because of vicarious embarrassment (a.k.a. secondhand shame). But according to clinical psychologist Dr. Marielle Collins, there is an upside to it.
“That’s the concept of empathy,” she said in an interview with the Cleveland Clinic. “Our brains are wired to be able to simulate the emotional experiences of other people and feel what another person is feeling.”
Cultural Appropriation
Not only that, the Japanese government made a statement that the man is a revered master and a honored friend of Japan for keeping ancient musical traditions alive. Also of note: Not only was the game and western developer praised by the Japanese for being a great representation of the actual Island and culture, the developers were made honorary ambassadors for setting up a donation drive to repair the islands historical locations after a big storm damaged the island.
I'm so tired of this kind of BS outrage. A comedian was talking about someone being angry that Bryan Cranston was playing a paraplegic in a movie instead of hiring a real paraplegic and he was right. Movies aren't charities. They spend a lot of money so they can make back that investment. If the option is to hire someone in the name of inclusion and make no money...or I can hire Tom Cruise/Angelina Jolie or whoever is going to bring in millions... it's a no brainer. The people hired to make them including the crew and 3rd party's involved all need to be paid. The studio already does invest in smaller films and more independent features that they know are probably not going to make them any money. It's why I get mad when people gripe about all the superhero movies. Those movies PAY for all the other movies. It's because of Iron Man or Avengers that they can take a risk and fund documentaries or smaller films. At least know what you're talking about before you post something like this.
Load More Replies...This obsession with “cultural appropriation” is largely a US thing. So, them pushing this concern onto other people is just cultural domination.
I find it interesting how they complain about it being ‘inappropiate’ for the Asian-American consumers, and not also the Asian (Japanese specifically) consumers.
This cultural appropriation thing is really boring. It's a craze that belongs exclusively to American minus habentes, and other countries rightly don't care.
well germans have this discussion too and it annoys me ,we are learning through imitation and adapt ourselves when we have access to other cultures. there is a hugh difference between little kids like to play another role/ people that love the style of foreign cultures and racists
Load More Replies...Who cares who plays as long as the play it well. No japanese people I know are offended.
Praxtucally the whole country was actually pleased this man took the time and effort to learn one of its ancient arts. So the Japanese people you don't know also weren't offended. 😉
Load More Replies......so it's offensive to the asian americans, but not the asian asians. (which is probably true tbf, though I imagine most asian americans weren't offended anyway) And tbf, the Japanese seem to really love when foreigners are enthusiastic about their culture.
A friend of mine went to Japan and studied Japanese quite some time before to at least be able to communicate simple tourist things. The Japanese of course noticed his Japanese was low level, he still needed a phrase book etc, but they really appreciated he took the effort and not just loudly spoke English to them.
Load More Replies...Many people are not aware of the Ainu people. They live in the northern regions of Japan and are the actual indigenous population of the nation. The Ainu were already living in the Japanese islands when the first Asian settlers immigrated there from the Korean peninsula a few thousand years ago. The thing that many people find so astounding, however, is that the Ainu are ethnically Caucasian.
Correct re the Ainu but... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race

The Woman Is The Cringe One Here, In Case Anyone Is Confused
Some people just take things too far. If someone holds a door open for you just say thank you. It honestly doesn't matter if it's male or female because it's good manners. Getting in a s**t about it is bad manners
Exactly. I went to an all-girls school that had very heavy swing doors in some areas. It was drilled into us that you always held the door open for the people behind you, and you always checked before letting it swing back. It was just common sense and courtesy.
Load More Replies...No s**t... I was raised to hold the door for everyone. Actually had a woman give me a look of disgust and use a different door. Still held it for the guy behind her. 🤷
Load More Replies...If my male coworkers see me walking up to the door to our store they’ll just flip the latch closed and make me walk to the other door (I do it to them too haha) 😂
Load More Replies...conclusion: as a woman, you are supposed to break down the door of your boyfriend, since he is not allowed to open it at any time when you come to visit him. Also, your husband is supposed to completely ignore the fact that you are carrying both the child and the groceries (because he's completely out of his mind if he would dare offer to help you) and let the door close into your face as you try to get into your home.
Conclusion: Hold the damn door open for everyone regardless of gender.
Load More Replies...who comes first hold the door., I hold the door multiple times for male friends and they did for me.. As far as I can tell no one lost significant bodyparts by switching.genderroles and how you gonna handle this situation if the person is nonbinary? leave it to schroedinger????

Load More Replies...You are correct. I am white and I can't speak Spanish. But I am also 80 years old, and I have been trying to learn for 3 years on duolingo and I am still monolingual.
Maaaaaaaan, I'm Mexican-American, green-eyed and very much caucasian, and there are Spanish folks who look whiter than ME.
I was adopted at birth into a Mexican-American family, so I learned Spanish (and English) pretty much from birth. I'm white af, genetically Irish/Scottish - blonde hair and blue eyes XD But I guess white people can't speak Spanish, so... what language am I actually speaking when I talk to my tia and abuelita?! D:
Load More Replies...I had a coworker from Mexico. She was showing me pictures of her extended family when they were all at a big, family barbecue. Among the people pictured was a tall, red headed, pasty, white kid. I just assumed he was there as a friend. I didn't ask, but my friend gleefully pointed out that the kid was a family member. I can't remember how he was related, but he was somehow blood related. It was genetics passed down through the line from past relations. According to this ignorant person, this redheaded, white kid isn't allowed to speak the language he was born into? Also, I work in medical and know a teensy smidge of Spanish--I can tell you that when this white person tries to communicate with patients who aren't able to speak much English--they're relieved and don't seem to be bothered that I'm white.
My black friend believed black Jamaicans originate from there.
This only confuses ppl that have never left the USA. Americans are so sheltered.
But there’s also a reason why seeing something cringeworthy feels like listening to fingernails running down a chalkboard. Here’s an explanation from Dr. Collins:
“A lot of times, these feelings can come with anxiety and a fear of negative social evaluation. Anxiety can be distressing and may get in the way of whatever you’re doing in the moment.”

Load More Replies...Ugh don't do this. I work in a book store. You're just pissing off the staff who have to go around fixing your mistake. Then stock levels are out. Then you get told off by your manager for missing items and now you're wasting time fixing an error that isn't yours. If you have issues with where books are in book shops contact, if you must, the PUBLISHERS. They set the categories. Underpaid in-store staff literally can't change anything and customers thinking they're totally edgy by moving stock around are just annoying staff who then have to waste time fixing your "rebellion". Rant over. This may have pushed one of my buttons.
If they were in the non-fiction section before, I understand completely. However. If it was in, say, the religion section, that's stupid
Oh hey how smart. Except I worked in a Barnes for nearly a decade and bibles were moved to fiction by clever original free-thinkers like once a month. Pretty common basic-a*s idea.
Did he also move the Quran, the Torah, the Eightfold Path, the Holy Vedas, etc. or just the Bible, like a hateful, pathetic little soul?
ahh another case of good ol america disrespecting other peoples beliefs, then getting so offended when you try to stand up for what you believe in. I know all Christians aren't great people and have done bad things. But name one group of people that doesn't have jerks, i dare you.
... if I define a group simply by including everyone who doesn't qualify as a jerk, then I have exactly that, right? Ok, easier said than done, but that applies to many things I have done as well. Saying them WAS easier.
Load More Replies...When I was in high school the chain bookstore in our town (B. Dalton) had only books about Christianity and Judaism in its "Religion" section. Books about Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. were placed in the "Philosophy" section.
Because Bibles are true. But only for those who know how to read them.

Since secondhand embarrassment can be an anxiety trigger, Dr. Collins says it could be problematic if you’re already dealing with the disorder.
“Witnessing someone else experiencing embarrassment could increase anxious thoughts about whether a similar experience could happen to you and activate your body’s stress response.”

Load More Replies...All men like this should have to experience one strong period so they stop saying dumb s**t like this. There's no good reason to undermine the pain of others just because you've never experienced it yourself.
Hook them up to a period pain machine (there are great vids of it on YouTube) then see what they say.
Load More Replies...I broke my leg. I think I took it pretty well considering that for 2 solid hours I felt like someone was sawing my leg off. And yet I have never once wondered "was that better or worse than period pain?". And even if there was a way for me to know, I probably wouldn't want to. I'm just really in awe of all the things women put up with and still manage to look like they have it way more together than I feel inside just for having to exist...
Broke my ankle twice, once at 17... it felt so good I did it again at 44 just to remind myself of the joy! I'm 66 and everytime it rains or snows, I remember this joy! PS: Anyone have a hacksaw and some superglue?
Hysteria Has Always Been Everywhere
Somehow in my mind Satan, Santa, Satin are all mixed up together. And now that we're throwing tornadoes into the mix, I have a very distressing image of flying reindeer in there too.
Bit hypocritical to get mad about Muslims allegedly pushing their beliefs on students—how much are we willing to bet this person is fine shoving Christianity down the throats of schoolchildren?

Maybe if you bible thumpers didn't cram YOUR religious beliefs down everyone's throats you would have noticed that a. Muslims do NOT worship Satan, and b. these children aren't facing Mecca.
If vicarious embarrassment puts you on edge, Dr. Collins shared some tips on how to handle it properly. It begins with reframing emotions.
“When we experience emotions that are uncomfortable, we often think they are ‘bad,’ and that makes us even more anxious as we try to get rid of it, increasing distress,” she explained.
“It can help to have a more mindful approach by acknowledging how we are feeling in the moment without judgment and allowing the emotion to pass.”

You don't have babies, you have people you need to teach how to become well adjusted adults. Grow up quickly so you can show them how. Get help!
Don't know the percentage of women who think this perversely, but it should be a wake up call to men to make a vasectomy appointment, pronto.
really bad move for the baby and the marriage. Without trust there is no marriage.
Dealing with anxiety is primarily about recognizing when it begins to manifest. This also applies to the distress from feeling secondhand shame. For this, Dr. Collins recommends the STOP technique.
This simple method involves four steps: stop what you’re doing, take a breath, observe what’s happening to your body, and proceed mindfully.
Yikes
My tale would be "mate, kindly p×ss off I'm having some quality alone time. Now away."
The tale: "Let me tell you about that one time I was waiting for my grandson and he introduced me to the world as a stranger." Alternatively: "Let me tell you about that one time I was waiting for hubby on date night, and that rando kid felt free to cuddle me"
I would tell them disgusting facts about my medical issues and mention my grandchilds kindergarten is contaminated with lice Gettin older I finally reach my profession as a provocative hag
Honestly if i tried to approach you without knowing you and you did that I would be more interested then deterred… but I wouldn’t approach strangers
Load More Replies...Let me tell you about the time my grandson tried to use me for a crappy post.
Rather implies that a complete stranger would feel wholly comfortable sidling up to me and taking a seat. Erm... no. Just don't. Ya' freak.
This is why I carry headphones everywhere - I can put them on when I'm sitting by myself to DETER people from coming over to talk to me. You'd think the pink mullet and resting b***h face would be enough to put people off, but no, strangers keep trying to have a conversation with me.
I was on the receiving end of this and it made my day. A darling old man asked if he could sit at my table because I reminded him of his granddaughter who was a SCUBA diver. We chatted for a couple of hours and when we were finished he said "Now, you tell your mom you met a nice Jewish boy for lunch!" I know that makes it sound uber-creepy, but I was in my mid-20s and he was a complete gentleman.
Imagine The Conversation

Load More Replies...As Dr. Collins explains, the STOP technique makes you effectively take notice when anxiety and self-judgment from secondhand embarrassment begin to creep in.
“When we go down a rabbit hole with our thoughts and emotions, it can all end up being amplified. This STOP technique helps you move in a more helpful direction by pausing for a minute to stop whatever stream of thought you’re having.”

Americans (NOT English speakers, but Americans specifically) need to learn languages and cool their jets before jumping on a keyboard.
All children are given the option of learning a foreign language in school, and many of them choose Spanish, as Spanish is widely spoken in our country.

When You Just Want A Legitimate Business
Every Thai Massage salon in the town I live in here in Germany has a sign saying "no erotic" due to this.
Thank you for the heads-up. I shall take my business elsewhere.
I can't imagine how having to pay for sexual relief constitutes any kind of happy ending.
There's a Thai massage place close to where I live that has something similar on their windows.
I was surprised when a nearby town built a casino and all the massage therapists had to get some sort of extra permission. We have very few of the sex worker kinds.
Come to Spokane WA, we have a few that do. It's been a long Spokane tradition of the city not bothering these establishments. But there was that one time, when they all ended up being owned by the same person, and that person ran afoul with the city council, so they did the one and only uncover operation and closed them all down. Someone friendlier with the city council opened up shop in less than a year after that, and it's been back to same old same old for years now. The city mostly just wants to prevent street walkers and does a good job of that.
To be clear, no, I've never gone in one. But they are common knowledge around these parts. Honestly, it's hard for me to imagine there's anything I would even want in there.

He Must Not Have Been A Real Man
If your blind date brings 23 people with them - why would you even sit down to eat? I'd leave before the meal was ordered.
I'm guessing he thought, quite rightly, that stringing her on and leaving her with the bill would be the more severe burn in this case 🔥
Load More Replies...How did they even let the dinner happen? The only unexpected guest I'll welcome is my date's dog
Who does this kind of thing? First date is always pay your own way anyway.
Crazy. And if you include the “couple” in the maths that means everybody spent $124 each.
There is a tendency in some folks that you don't have to stint yourself if somebody else is paying.
Load More Replies...WHOA. I work for a not super cheap restaurant (entrees anywhere from $20-$35) and seriously, 23 people racking up a $3,100 bill is insane. That's well over $100 PER PERSON. When I have big groups like that, the bill is typically high but like $500-$800 area. I've served groups of 30 or more and have never had anything over $1,000. 23 people eating and drinking that much is just asinine. To do that on a blind date let alone period and expect the date to pay for it seems impossible.
And? Why in the world would she expect him to pay for that many people when he was expecting a one on one date? He should name and shame her locally, that's really offensive behavior.
Fair enough! I would have left her with the bill too. Who the everlovinghell does that?!?

I finally had to tell them that while I didn't want them to do that, it comes down to their choice and they could do it or not. They stopped after that because all they wanted was the drama and they were not getting it.

Gatekeeping Children’s Names?
I was in a fandom group and an actor we liked was doing a charity play and he invited a bunch of people from the group to come to it. I was 24 and I'd never been to NY before and I was excited. At the meet up, 4 of us went for lunch together and we were getting to know one another. One of the women asked if we were all married and I was like no... and one of them is like 'no I'm divorced. Do you know my husband?" and I'm taken aback. I ask how would I know her husband...I don't even know her. She was convinced I was some spy who infiltrated the group...8 years before...and was now working for her ex to spy on her...at lunch I guess? C-r-a-z-y. But some people just think everything revolves around them. This woman thought someone looked up her child, found out her middle name, 'stole it' as if that's the most magical awesome name and people were copying her...all because she can't step outside of herself and see how crazy that is. Strangers don't care as much about you as you think they do.

Kay is literally my 101-year-old grammas name. It was a very common abbreviation for Katherine back in the day. A lot of people named their girls that in the 20s and 30s. Also, you don't own names, you crazy person. It's not like you plant a flag and it's yours and yours alone. Weirdo.
Well apparently this woman's daughter is older than 101, because NOBODY started naming their daughters that before she did

Irony is, this post would make me strongly consider the restaurant anyway, since a clearly very disgruntled customer still speaks highly of their product/menu. I would, however, stop following or never consider subscribing to the author, because of the attitude that is shown.

Got carried away in this fantasy a little too much, I guess.

When I shaved my hair everyone at my school asked me if it was : cancer, military, my parents forcing me... In their narrow minded heads it just couldn't have been by choice. (I precise that I was in a small countryside school and was previously in an art school so the difference between me and my classmates was WILD)
When I was in highschool there was a boy in my year who was completely bald. I assumed he had cancer but had the sense not to ask or bring it up in any other way. Fast forward to about ten years later and there he is in the newspaper, in an article about how he's part of an organisation providing help and counselling to kids suffering from alopecia, which is what he actually had. So there you go.
If l could rock a shaven head like that, l'd have got rid of my sad tresses years ago.
as someone who is bald from cancer rn, even if th is woman herself does not have it, it's nice to see that it's totally possible to rock the bald look. xP
