When did Ted talks become a mecca for hateful, malicious and venomous angry white males, that are always obsessed with attacking anything/anyone non-white?
These comments are toxic.
having scrolled down and read most of these comments it seems to me that you are all butt hurt about not very much … when did you become such a snowflake?
