“I always feel bad, man. I promise you there is no white writer out there, who when you read a book by a white person, and you hear other white people being like, ‘Yo this white book makes me look bad.’ I’ve never met a white writer who ever gets asked questions like, ‘Well, don’t you feel bad about the way you represent white people?’ Guys, I’m not representing Dominicans, I’m representing one crazy set of like, what, 11 people? There’s like, what, 12 people in this book? There’s 10 million Dominicans, yo. I just happen to come from a family of crazy people and I think you should be allowed to write about crazy people.” —

There’s a tumblr that’s somewhat related to this whose name escapes me right now, but it’s basically the convos of website developers with their clients. Hilarious, but with that twinge of pain in it.

Thanks to @faboomama for RTing this. So this is Stephen Colbert’s speech at this event. And, of course, he went in. Hard. All the way through.  I would’ve been cackling if I was in the room, while everyone else squirmed.
