Am I the only one that doesn’t find her keeping her ethnicity hidden “strategic” or “calculated” I mean the name of the show is “Love is BLIND” if you know my ethnicity and make a decision based on that is the experiment truly “blind”?

[@cringe7013]

@Jaysennx3 Yes, that's the point of the show with no context. But remember, everything needs context, especially when their about to get married and spend time with each other outside of this. If their ways of living and beliefs clash, then one might just end up in an unhappy compromise, or there will be constant disagreements on how to navigate. Imagine they choose to have kids, the amount of problems that will arise cause they can't agree how to navigate culturally will be a lot.

[@princessamy274]

I agree. When I heard him say she was calculated my jaw was on the floor. If he had strong preference to Caucasian women then this show isn’t for him.

[@lanceareadbhar]

I agree that is the reason she didn't say it, but I understand his initial thought process that if she's holding back certain things is she hiding other things. I hope they both work out as her answer seemed to dismiss his initial thoughts.

[@terrijones693]

My take on that was if you didn't want to reveal anything, why bring up that your mom's name could give it away? I don't know...I'm happy that they were able to communicate about it. I'm also a person who chooses my words very carefully so that my meaning isn't misunderstood.

Stephen is a walking red flag. The mutt comment threw me. Him telling her to stop saying "thank you for your service" threw me. Him announcing he was black (I didn't see it) threw me. In their first conversation that we saw him telling her he's a cheater and her saying "I'm sorry" ??? She's a red flag too. I had to pause the show five times to gather myself and each time was during their conversations.

[@jclyntoledo]

Okay the mutt thing I will give you that. Insane to stop saying thank you for your service it's probably because it's awkward and it's only needed to be said once. Isn't he out of the military now? About the cheating part I thought he was referencing that's how he used to be but that's not who he is now and he's learned from that. He awknowledged he was a coward and it was a terrible thing to do, so I feel like he showed remorse. Only time will tell if he has actually changed.

I find it really difficult to root for any of the potential couples this season because so many of them seem to be forcing compatibility. Because if I look beyond how they were initially "clicking", nobody seems to want the same things in life, or they bring out each other's insecurities. Feels like a recipe for disaster. 😬 Only exception so far is probably Ashley and Tyler. Those two are CUTE.

[@hayleysawatzky3546]

That word is extremely derogatory. I was honestly shocked when they said it and i can’t believe they aired it.

[@lanceareadbhar]

[@AthenaBethBlack]

[@chrisitnewallace3214]

A true definition of a “Mutt” is a derogatory term because it stems from the idea that mixing, whether breeds of dogs or races of people, can result in lowering standards, inferiority, or just being stupid because they are not considered pure. Most people use it to refer to the multiple races a person is. I've never heard it used offensively, and I mainly hear people calling themselves Mutts jokingly after sharing all their races that they are mixed with. It did give me a little pause because it was my first time hearing a white man saying it to black women, but also with more context. If they have been talking for a while before that and gained some form of comfort, I don't think it would be offensive to her. It wouldn't sit right with me but I’m not surprised that it wouldn't bother others

[@vanessao8711]

I did not hear him refer to himself as a mutt but definitely heard it when he said it about her. It was violent. I know the intention wasn't there, but there was ignorance that she should've respectfully corrected. Mutt is a word used to refer to dogs, not humans.

[@hommefataltaemin]

This is a fantastic way of phrasing this!!

[@jazzy_RAOT]

Yes Taylor seems very guarded and instead of being fully vulnerable she does little things to test the waters. She said “when are you going to ask me to be your gf?” And then says No 😂 at first it seemed cheeky but then to me it turned into girl, stop playing! She seems like a cast member that will be hard to read. Marisa seems so bubbly, but saying you will date anyone regardless of anything… I’m curious to learn more about HER personality and what she truly values being a Chameleon in that way is not a flex

[@SunshineBae333]

I'm SO glad that someone is speaking on how some ppl like to weaponize their honesty like that. UGH! I never respond and say, "I love and respect your honesty." Those are also the type of ppl that don't expect the repercussions of their honesty and expect to still get what they want. The same ppl that say "women don't like to hear the truth". 😂 Nice try, bud. Deuces!

[@joandolliedoyle775]

I agree. Monica was too quick to just agree instead of listening and allowing herself to take in what he was saying.

[@catkibble6013]

as a biracial person, I've heard (and even through social conditioning) have referred to myself as a mutt in the past, in childhood. now, as an adult, I would never self identify as a mutt and would also heavily side-eye anyone who would refer to me or any other bi/multi-racial person as such. I winced when I heard our white 3/5th Nubian brother say it, but winced again seeing Monica embrace it in this current day and age at her big age. I can't discredit or be too harsh on how others decide to identify or what they deem okay, but it was definitely a weird moment for me personally and my fight or flight was definitely activated

[@LinAnneHun]

I will say, when he said mutt, I had to rewind it back and listen again. I was shocked when I heard it, because my mother is mixed race, with a darker skin tone, and grew up in an extremely racist area, where mutt was screamed at her and her siblings, as a racist term. We are Canadian, and my mom grew up in the back country, in foster care, with her and her two sisters being the only people of colour in the entire community. The stories I’ve heard are sickening, and unbelievable, so hearing that term threw me for a loop. I am not sure if that term is more wildly acceptable in different areas of the world?

[@joanna0988]

I'm Canadian too and I've heard people refer to themselves as mutts in a silly way. Those people were white but of multiple European backgrounds like French, German and Russia or something.

Just chiming into your edit regarding someone’s comment about Hannah with the body dysmorphia.. she actually told the girls she lost 40 lbs prior to the show (can’t remember when exactly maybe a year before or something) so she was heavier and lost weight but I think she is still insecure about it.

[@pennyrae7062]

The "Mutt" thing.....I had to really think about this because I've always called myself a "mutt" and I had a negative feeling when he said it. I think it's because, I'm white, a mix of a whole bunch of vague European-ish, and I've always used that term to express something I don't really love about my ethnicity. I don't love that I can't take pride in where I come from, and I've always been attracted to people whose ethnicity is an actual, tangible part of their identity. It's a healthy, beautiful thing to feel like you know who you are and where your ancestors come from. I never had the opportunity to identify myself with a culture, other than just, I'm a white girl....nothing to be excited about. So I felt the sting, cuz calling someone a mutt is like saying, not only do you not take pride in your heritage, you don't even KNOW your heritage. That's my reality, and it's not ideal. But then he backtracked to say it about himself, which I think is a reflection of the fact that he once didn't know for sure about himself and now he has something to be proud of. He's vacillating because his ethic identity is in flux. Understandable. Having said that, we should probably all stop using that term flippantly unless we are talking about our own feelings about our own experience, because it's is not a compliment and it's doesn't add anything positive to our identity. It doesn't take away our value as a human, of course! But it makes us orphans in a way and that's kind of a hardship I wouldn't want to apply to someone when I'm more inclined to want to view their ethnicity as something they should be super proud of!

[@cherwilkes4564]

But it was something I came up with because I knew I was a mixture of native American Mexican and European+ and it was just too much of a mouthful. But people were so offended (for me) when I said it that I gradually stopped😂 I understand taking more pride in it but at the same time in this melting pot who isn't, and why shouldn't I be proud of that❤

As a person who lives in England, I personally don't find the word mutt derogatory, it just means you are mix with a lot of different ethnicities

[@hellaSwankkyToo]

mutt IS similar to the N word//other reclaimed slurs in that ppl can identify as one but to call others a mutt is fucking W I L D. at least here in the u.s.

Okay, so I never knew people considered "mutt" derogatory like that. My mom's family is a mix from all over Eurasia, plus native American. So she & I both always say that her family is "American mutt mix". Maybe it's because we're around a lot of animal lovers / shelter workers so we don't think of mutts as bad? (Fun fact: mutt dogs usually have less health issues than purebreds.) On my other side, my dad is 50/50 Scottish & French, so his background's easier to explain. 😅

[@keepingupwithkasie]

I don’t think the term “mutt” is derogatory from my opinion it’s usually referred to a mixture of many things, BUT I can see how some may not like it, I just wouldn’t make it as deep as it is

[@happyyy1445]

I have heard people casually refer to themselves as mutts after explaining that they're a mix of many different ethnicities. It's kind of used as the punchline after naming a looong list of ethnicities.

On dating a Trump supporter: I remember when my long-term then-boyfriend said he didn't like Obama and would vote for Trump, I replayed the reel of our entire relationship in a new light. He had always been supportive of women's rights, worked for the LGBTQ+ services, SA services, and International services at our uni, been open-minded to other perspectives; a kind and patient man. So I asked some follow-up questions: it turns out that he thought Trump was despicable and the only reason he would have voted for him was because of Trump's views/opinions on what to do in the Middle East. My boyfriend (now husband) is from Iraq and believes Obama made the situation over there so much worse, whereas Trump had a better grasp on what to do. 🤷‍♀ ... and that's it. It should be noted that we're both Canadian and my bf wouldn't have been able to vote in the US elections anyway. And also that he clarified that if they could only vote on one topic of their choosing (i.e. international politics in the M-E), he would have voted for Trump but otherwise Trump was too much of a hot mess and a joke and a ticking time bomb to actually be in office. Still, all of his family and many of his friends are in Iraq/the M-E and he feels so helpless with what's going on over there. It made me rethink how I approach Trump supporters, and maybe I shouldn't immediately write them off.

[@2000hotfries]

Its because of our awful two party political system. I feel like if everyone took a political survey and could vote strictly based off policy, no one would truly support either candidate. Picking someone to vote for when there are only two options is very difficult and I really don't think people should be so judgemental about it. We're all human and we all have nuisanced beliefs about how this country should be run.

[@daleciaszerelem9236]

If someone called me a mutt I would have been offended, but at the same time I get the context it was used in. They were both a combination of many ethnicities so you don’t know how to identify.

[@katiechapman6473]

This season makes me so uncomfortable. It feels like I'm watching an episode of love on the spectrum. Or like the uncomfortable feeling you get at the end of the movie Catfish when Angela is drawing Nev and it gets really weird. Even the couples I like are so cringe and awkward.

Mutt just means “mixed race”. Not daragatory from my understanding.

[@aishagordon9693]

@thequeene Mutt is not derogatory. Back in the day 70's 80's if a person was mixed nationality, they would say they were mutts. (This was usually said in the Italian community) I went to high school in an Italian community and heard this alot when they were not 100% Italian. Steven did not mean any harm by saying that.

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

To mention Italians and say it's not derogatory I the same sentence is.....wrong. definitely used in negative sense in that rra because they were also calling them "fake yt"....yall it's problematic. Simple as that. Yall learning

[@jessicapuntorno1540]

I’m from an Irish-Italian-Polish area in NJ and people have always used “mutt” here to describe themselves. It’s always been said light-heartedly.

[@aishagordon9693]

@jessicapuntorno1540 I went to school in Bensonhurst BKLYN. I don't know if the offense comes from the generation or the region. Because this way of speaking is common place in NYC/NJ.

From my understanding, mutt is definitely a derogatory term. I gasped when he said it. I was like why would he use that term. He could’ve used antier word truly.

15:00 there are a lot of black conservative trump supporters out there! I follow a lot of them actually and I ain’t even conservative 😂 I follow all spectrums of media from far right to far left and it’s very interesting to see their points. I will always be pro choice but the only woman who has been able to make me understand pro lifers was a black woman trump supporter, miss Angie Stanton 💕💕

[@amandahitchcock9108]

Came here to say this. Trump supporters come in every color. And some people are able to be with spouses who have opposing views. My husband is religious and I am not. You can disagree and still love each other.

[@JTrys]

@@amandahitchcock9108 totally agree! I love living life learning about different views, cultures, perspectives, because it’s fascinating to me. I understand and respect, though, that some people feel like it’s protecting their piece to limit their social circle with like minded individuals. But if anyone out there is interested in maybe understanding others a little more, there’s definitely enough great and diverse people they can check out on socials 🫶🏻
