Answer: no, cause nothing coming from Lena Dumbham matters

This is not a joke.

REALLLY feministing? How much more could you suck?

“I wouldn’t say this tweet and pic is obviously racist, as much as it is annoying and ignorant (and Islamophobic)”

Yeah, because racism and Islamophobia are not at all intertwined….

“It’s more like casual racism–or when someone reinforces something that’s inherently racist and rather than question it, just goes with the flow”

So, she’s being racist…

“The most concrete offense is that she is conflating fundamentalism with veiling.”

No, she’s also making a mockery of women who do chose to wear headscarves.

“But, I’m fascinated by how much people are focused on her political representations since she’s essentially a comedy writer and comedians say racially offensive things all the time.”

That makes it better? “Everyone in her field does racist things, so it’s fine!”

“While the racial critiques have more validity, they are not happening in a vacuum. We should absolutely call out people’s ignorance, but I think the outrage ends up scrutinizing her personal behavior instead of looking at the real problem–the lack of diverse representations of women in popular culture.”

Yeah, that’s a problem that has nothing to do with Lena Dunham being ignorant and racist, though. That’s under her control..

“We should absolutely call out people’s ignorance, but I think the outrage ends up scrutinizing her personal behavior instead of looking at the real problem–the lack of diverse representations of women in popular culture.”

So… it’s OK for White women with TV shows to be racist because there aren’t enough White women with TV shows?

Really, though. Just cut the crap, Lena. It’s neither funny nor cute and you just look like a fucking douchebag. Cool it.
