      A quick search shows that what you describe is rare at best. Looks a little vague honestly. And even by the numbers presented, maybe 36 people died in 20 years? Chung was into some very bad 'science' and spewing misinformation.
      Basically, this woman had implants and got cancer - therefore the implant caused the cancer. But it turned out that when you looked at the data, that women who didn't have implants got cancer at the same rate statistically speaking. When presented with these statistics, they protested with things like "A woman is not a statistic, she's a human being" and other such nonsense.

  • @jdonvance

    As a primarily black person whose extended family straddles several fiercely-protected cultural traditions, I feel that the current cultural attitude towards blackface (et al) is an overcorrection.
    I don't think that dressing up as Diana Ross back in the eighties, for instance is cringe-worthy any more than Tom Hanks portraying a gay person or a disabled person or a villain should be considered inappropriate since the very point of Halloween and acting is to pretend to be someone you're not for a while. Sure, we now have the capability to cast actors who fit their roles more closely, and we should do that, but it seems to me that that reduces an actor's opportunities to stretch.
    However, considering how a person's intent is increasingly difficult to read (both because we are losing the ability to read people AND because people are more often employing ulterior motives) and because information is increasingly shared without context, I completely understand why indulging in another's culture is no longer appropriate.
    This is not to say that celebrating/engaging in other cultures is inherently a bad thing; it's just become politically problematic to do so without being accused of appropriation (which is when you actively pretend that a foreign culture is your own) or accused of mocking that culture (when you present that culture in caricature).
    It is my sincere hope that this relatively new phobia does not permanently have a chilling effect on cultural proliferation, discouraging people from learning about one another's ways of life.

What is this, North Korea? She wasn’t declaring her admiration for Al Jolson and Jim Crow laws. I think the network had regrets about hiring her rather spontaneously to begin with, and felt uneasy regarding controversial remarks she had made, but were too embarrassed to admit she was a poor fit for their corporate culture.
