You should reflect on how insecure you are at this point in your life if every time issues of race or a work by a person of color generates such a petty knee-jerk reaction. Maybe take a step back from the computer, stop regurgitating the hard right 4chan idea of how the world is, and try to engage more actively with people who aren't decrepit and overreliant on this website as validation for an empty existence. That is how you stop this.

I am sure my use of the phrase "person of color" irritated you. I'm also sure you have little in your bank account. I'm sure you'll call me classist for saying that when I'm actually drawing attention to your indolence. I don't doubt your parents have money in their pockets if they can afford to house a fully grown man whose days are spent on 4chan. I'm sure you'll accuse me of projection. Nice cop out. It doesn't work. Heh, heh, heh.

Reminder that Green is published and critically acclaimed, and also a bestseller.

Reminder that if you're bashing his work, you're nothing but a pretentious shrill child, infuriated at his success, thinking your opinion is worth more than the consensus.

Reminder that he has a wife and children, while you have nothing, save for maybe a (useless) degree and some checkmarks on your reading list.

Willfully pretending to be obtuse to the difference between the connotations of PoC versus the term "colored people" in order to claim concern when you'd really rather squash use of the term that is both politically correct and in many circles empowering? I'm shocked. No need to skirt around your problem with PoC while you're anonymous, friend. Be frank in your racism if that's who you are. It makes it easier to know to avoid you! Hahaha!

Liking good looking people is exactly the same as liking good tasting food. The obvious analogy is to the nutrition of food but obviously people eat good tasting unhealthy food all the time so it doesn't work and he was looking for an easy comparison and just wrote down the first retarded thought that entered his head.

I'm no great fan of conservatives but liberals can't deny that very promiscuous women often have deeper psychological issues at play that influence that behavior. Ignoring that won't really help women at all. It's just as dumb as telling obese people it's okay to be fat rather than telling them to exercise and eat better.

[Anonymous No.7019614]

that sex is like cereal thing doesn't work. woman are held to different standards for sex because men's dicks don't seem like they'd be changed from sticking them in lots of vaginas but vaginas seem like they'd be stretched or broken in from taking a ton of dicks. whether or not it's true, it's easy to assume that.
