Is it really a big deal when it comes to your skin? #angelinalesbian

I guess it just seems like a wee bit of bigotry for people to be "confused" about why someone has a certain name that doesn't fit with their preconceived ideas about that person. This is something I deal with regularly, since people assume my name is Latina- which it is not- and are SO surprised when they meet me and find out that I'm Caucasian. It's really bizarre just how many double takes and, sadly, major attitude adjustments I've personally experienced. #angelinalesbian

Not everyone looks like the stereotypical vision of their ethnic group but married names bring up additional issues because the name can have no connection to your own ethnic heritage. #angelinalesbian

What I'm trying to say is, it seems like the real issue isn't that Mrs. Perez is named Mrs. Perez, it's that the principal didn't hire a bilingual teacher of whatever name when s/he should have. The fact that s/he didn't, and that people are confused by someone whose last name (for whatever reason) seems to be of a certain ethnicity, may be two parts to the same issue: believing that anyone with a hispanic sounding last name IS bilingual. Do you see what I mean? I'm not "jumping to racist stereotypes", I'm just saying that making assumptions based on names isn't very helpful in determining someone's culture or language.

I don't think a French last name and a Spanish last name are the same when it comes to language- we have a massive amount of Latino immigration right now compared to much smaller rates of Francophone immigration. The people who hope the person is bilingual in my experience tend to be Latino, so the assumptions are different. #angelinalesbian

And I agree, a French last name and a Spanish last name are not the same in terms of language at this time in our country. But though the assumptions about Spanish names are different now, it doesn't hurt to question what's behind those assumptions and how they affect our interactions with others. If Mrs. Perez was hired because of her last name rather than her qualifications (which I hope isn't the case, but for argument's sake) that's an issue, just like it's an (tiny) issue for Hudson to say she doesn't look like a Rodriguez. I'm sure Mrs. Perez doesn't want to be a surprise and ultimately a disappointment to the community she's trying to serve and that the community would rather have someone who meets their needs, no matter what their name or face.
ETA: Sorry to be so damned verbose. I'm not very good at writing succinctly but that's probably obvious by now.

And there is nothing WRONG with Lindsay's face, you just caught her right after shit bit into a lemon or something. Jesus, US, go buy some class or something. #angelinalesbian

"It was so awesome! Everyone at the clinic was really nice and respectful, and I was so relieved when that unwanted fetus was out of my womb and out of my life! Later, I celebrated by doing a line of coke. Suck it, babies!"

Then again, my parents also handed me the kid's Bible and let me read it myself, which is what made me the proud atheist I am today. I doubt Suri's going to have the same luck with Dianetics. #angelinalesbian

I was thinking as I read that "Wait, um, then what IS chemistry?" When I use that term, I totally mean it as "He and I have no chemistry, thus I have no desire to do dirty things to him." #angelinalesbian
