New York Times suggests gifts for the colored people in your life

I don’t know if I’ve read a more offensive “trying to be helpful” story in my life.
As a black and latino woman, I’m as “of color” as you can get, but if anyone gives me a Bindya Scarf for Christmas, they’re getting it back. Well, unless they have some real good non “the racist New York Times” told me too reason.

Sheesh. What, black people can’t get a Kindle like normal people?

    Guess I better return that Hill Harper book I bought for you.

    ; )

    This guide is so silly. Do people really buy gifts based on the color of one’s skin? I always thought the gifts you give should reflect what you know about the person, and geez, skin tone seems to be a cop out.

    Hahah word! And why don’t they do a “gifts for your white friends”? I guess you guys would get “Going Rogue” The Sarah Palin story.

    What the what?

    So are caucasians even allowed to have any of this stuff? I always want to try Carol’s Daughter products, but now I feel like I’m not allowed. White girls have nappy hair too!

    And if I had a kid (not likely to ever happen, but still) I totally would want the kid to be jammin to Baby Jamz. You know it.

    And that “Wise Latina” t-shirt, that’s just ridiculous. I want a shirt that says “Pretty damn smart Whitey.”

    I totally want to get Xander that Mix Master Chair. My kid would make an awesome DJ.

    …you know, until after college, at which time he would get a haircut and a normal job. Right?

    How would you feel about a snuggie?

    by the way, the safest gift for any white person is a gift card to Jimmy John’s.

    [...] New York Times puts out a patronizing-as-all-hell list of Gifts for People of Color, and Dawn Summers is suitably unimpressed: As a black and latino woman, I’m as “of color” as you can get, but if anyone [...]
