Yep Yep. I used to watch Connie coming up. Cal played a lot of commercials on that station as I recall.
…the CBS reality TV show Big Brother (which we’ve never watched)…
You’ve got this backwards, Will. Big Brother watches YOU.
Big Brother watches you watching Big Brother?
It’s her story, she has a right to tell it. But Slate is using it to reinforce their bias. I guess they have nothing better to do.
There is no way to tell what would have happened with her had she not had the surgery. Just like with the fork in the road decision you know what happened on the road you took but you can not possibly know what would have happened on the other fork. People that say “if I had left the house 5 minutes sooner I would have been in that accident” have the same weakness of argument. Thousands, if not more, decisions culminated in the people being at the accident at the time it happened and any discussion about what might have changed it is purely conjecture and most likely WRONG.
The only “teachable moment” on race is that no matter the race, hard work pays off, and it helps to be pretty.
Wait… WHAT?
TBG just moved 70 miles because he saw where 80% of all car accidents happen within 10 miles of home.
“You could argue that Chen sacrificed one part of herself to save
another; that she ultimately achieved a platform from which she could
advance our conversations about race more effectively than if she’d
remained obscure,”
“Let me tell you about the time that Rosa Parks got tired of having to ride in the back of the bus because she was black, so she went and got skin whitening treatments until she could pass for a white person and sit at the front.”
Yeah, that’s not quite so inspiring.

As a magenta person, I’m grateful that you included a people of color, but I still feel left out.
If Julie Chen was actually watching many of the posters on this website, chances are she would not have had to have had surgery to widen her eyes…
I’d hump her till her eyes stay round permanently.
Bada Bing!
fits is gay
So slightly adjusting her eyelids was the most significant factor in her success? I’m sure marrying CBS President Les Moonves had virtually no impact by comparison.
Married to CBS president and CEO. That explains a lot about getting the ball rolling.
