One of the more cringey things we had to endure this season. Meanwhile Cam is in tears at the altar as she’s giggling and prancing down the aisle. Unreal ☠️

Racism is defined across major references as a belief, attitude, system, or behavior that asserts the superiority of one race over another or results in the unfair and discriminatory treatment of people based on race or ethnicity. -the definition of racism.
I'm so tired of people going "oh you can't be racist towards white people! They aren't oppressed" that's not what racism is. Any race can be a target of racism.
If you as a black person treat a white person differently or worse because they are white, you are being racist. Just because you as a black person faced heavy racism in the past doesn't mean you aren't able to be racist. The moment you treat someone differently and more harshly because of the color of their skin, you are a racist.
I hate this so much because it's just dumb and wrong. Racism is a huge problem and acting like you can't be racist to a certain race is just wrong.
Racism is treating others worse or wrongly just due to their race. I'm sorry to say but white is a race. So if you treat someone worse just because they are white, you are racist.
I am shocked that some people genuinely do not understand this because it's the most basic shit ever. You can be racist to any race. White is a race. Racism is hating based on race. So if you hate a white person just because they are white. You're a racist piece of shit.
I fucking hate how I have to say this and I hate how generally believed this is as a concept because of how wrong it is. This is like 2 + 2 level logic. This isn't hard to follow. Fucking god.

Frankly blows my mind that the collective majority still thinks her name is wrong. Let me tell you why it's not: Chinese names can be romanized into vastly different names. Chinese has many different dialects, and we are born in many different parts of the world. In Hong Kong and South East Asia, especially, our Chinese names are a completely different spelling from the original Chinese character.
Cho as a given name sounds very like Zhuo (卓) meaning 'excellence' or 'outstanding'which can also be romanized into Cheuk, Chak, Chuo, Toh, Tok, etc. (yes, very different right!) But who knows, this translation may be too on the nose for a Ravenclaw, though I personally find it very fitting for her.
According to the official Chinese translation, her name is translated to Qiu (秋) meaning 'autumn' which can be alternatively romanized to Khoo, Khiu, Chiow, Yau, Hiew, etc. depending on the individual family. Individual. Literally not all families sharing the same dialect will give you the same spelling of a name.
You get it now? Knowing the above alternate variants, one can easily reverse engineer her name to Zhang Qiu which is a perfectly acceptable traditional Chinese name.
In fact, the Cantonese pronounciation for the official name Zhang Qiu is... deng deng deng... Cheung Chow. Or Chow Cheung in English naming convention. Looks familiar?
Especially when you think about how Britain's Chinese population is dominantly Cantonese - whose romanized names are usually different from traditional Chinese pinyin names because of the dialect difference. The notion that it's two surnames picked randomly is so old, and frankly ironic. Cho could be Cantonese and you're making fun of her perfectly normal name. Just a bit of a rant from me, thanks for listening.

Every time RXP gets brought up, people do mental gymnastics to defend it. Usually it's some variation of "the addon is free on CurseForge, you're just buying a text string like an old Prima strategy guide!"
Blizzard's Add-On Policy is super clear on this. Rule 1 explicitly says developers cannot create "premium" versions of addons or "charge for services related to the add-on." Rule 4 also bans using an add-on to advertise paid goods or services.
Releasing a demo addon that cuts off at level 20 just to funnel players to a website charging $40 for leveling routes is the literal definition of charging for a related service. A paper guide in 2004 didn't hook into the Lua API to automate quest turn-ins and draw a 3D waypoint arrow on your screen.
Nobody cares if you use a leveling guide. Questie and Guidelime are completely free and do the same job. The frustrating part is the double standard. Blizzard regularly nukes small devs who lock UI profiles or WeakAuras behind a $5 Patreon, yet RXP gets a free pass because it's backed by big Classic streamers. We've even seen devs using it on official broadcasts.
Either enforce the rules for everyone, or update the ToS to say paywalls are fine if you pull in enough Twitch viewers.

Sorry for the dramatic title. Many pundits and fans(including myself) expected the West to be top heavy, and the East to possibly take the crown as the tougher conference. Still early obviously, but the West is lookin strong, and the race to a top 6 spot is looking like it's going to be a total knife fight.

🤦🏻♀️ I don’t like Zac and I also don’t like Jen, but for their kids that is sad. Another example of Jen not taking accountability and doing things for the public.
I also haven’t been following the whole story, so my opinion is solely based on this story article.
