I was truly floored by the amount of ugly racism in this thread. I am deeply ashamed to be apart of a community this bigoted.
Dr Immanual is a literal African American women. She was born in Nigeria, and immigrated to the U.S. She is from a different culture and does not share all your beliefs. For this you mock her.
It's pretty funny. Many on these forums preach tolerance, but in real life, you are the furthest thing from it. When you say tolerance, what you mean "people who agree with what you think." This is not what that word or idea means. Tolerance means that you celebrate the wonderful belief and perspective of others, not denigrate it. It means deeply understanding that no one has complete knowledge of the world, and by walking in other people's shoes, you might see something interesting and special. It also means that the perspectives of non western people in Africa and Asia have validity, even if they do not agree with your privileged notions.
What tolerance does not mean making fun of minorities. The casual acceptance arrogant bigotry of the main story is disturbing. You truly should be ashamed of yourselves. Or, is slashdot now, "News for bigots, stuff that slanders?"
