I have parties with people of many different races, but much of America is segregated and people tend to hang out with similar backgrounds. However, it is fair to point out that "celebrities" live in their own bubble too.


Lots of assumptions here. Re: this photo: Keep up with the thread. There are Asians there. And I don't know every person in this photo but since some Latinos and Hispanics look "white," well, who are you to assume there aren't a few Latinos or Hispanics in this mix? Can you magically tell from a photo what race or ethnicity each person is? If so, you're basing that on, guess what? Their skin and hair color. There's a word for making assumptions based on people's coloring, PP.

The twitter links to an article by the Huffington Post. It isn't just random people making assumptions.

I wasn’t aware that all photos much show diversity.


It's ok. Everyone knows why your entire family is white.


Yeah, PP, didn’t you know that you’re required to be attracted to and marry people of other races? Have you reached out to your younger cousins to let them know they have to marry outside their race in order to placate some dipshit on DCUM?

It is fun to see assumptions that diversity = skin color. Certainly no socioeconomic diversity among people jetting to Idaho for a weekend.

People up thread made assumptions based on names, so going on IDs in an article isn't much help. Olivia Munn is half Vietnamese but apparently that doesn't count for diversity....And it still is true that there might be people there who are Hispanic or Latino. I don't know who every one of these people is. And I don't assume based on last names. Do you?

True. You know what they say happens when you ASSUME...
Also, Huff Post?! Come on, it might as well just be a random person tweeting.

Oh this makes me sad. I generally love Jason Bateman. Thanks for popping my blissful bubble of Jason love PP. Not sure I can forgive you for this.


He’s awful. He does that podcast with Will Arnett and Sean Hayes and in the HBO special on it, where they follow the trio on their podcast tour, Jason is such a real d!ck. He’s super rude to everyone, self righteous and thinks he’s the funniest and smartest person alive. Will and Sean both seem like normal, fun people you’d like to have as friends and who would be gracious if a fan approached them. But Jason is a jerk, nonstop. He makes fun of what they eat, fat people, middle America, etc. He runs his assistant ragged with weird requests, like needing gas-x right before a show so he doesn’t fart. He thinks people who poop more than once a day must have disgusting diets and that people who don’t immediately shower after pooping are nasty. He’s 100% serious in these interactions. I cannot believe Will and Sean are friends with him.

I couldn’t finish the first episode on HBO because Justin was so annoying. (and they were in DC). There was a DCUM thread on this and people agreed he sucked.

Yes, Jason. Sorry. BTW Will Arnett is super nice and funny in this show.

I saw the pic & seriously didn’t even notice that there were no POC in the photo. 😲

Why is race always such an issue for seemingly ANY + EVERYthing these days???!!

Are we normally supposed to be impressed with these photos?

Yes, you are supposed to envy the cool kids.

I actually noticed there were no obvious POC in the crowd when I first saw the photo.

I didn’t notice either. I noticed Courtney’s fillers right away and I noticed everyone was dressed similarly. I didn’t notice any celebrities except for her and Jennifer. It just shows people have different things on their minds and have unique observations (not that noticing fillers is unique ha).

I personally think it’s normal to hang with people who are mostly your ethnicity/race, it’s very very common. Of course making friends with people from all walks of life is ideal, but people I don’t think that’s happens often.
