This Is How We Buy Stuff, Baby | This Is How We Bingham | Part 5

Too bad Sean has gone full blown Trump tweeting. I’m sure all family members are the same but avoid it due to losing followers.

I knew he was one anyway. 40 years old no children, not married being a Mormon.....You wonder if others in the community always gossip about him.

[Hyacinth]

Also I think it’s really telling who’s there and who’s not there with them. The little snip of a speech mindy gave is interesting.

“We’ve had a lot of people put barriers in our way and you guys have never done that to us. It means the world to us. You guys have picked them up moved them and hurdled over them with us...”

I am really wondering who those people could be. Greedners maybe? Most of Brandens family is elsewhere so probably not them. Im very curious

Also, I appreciate their vlog today. I even got teary eyed. If Daniel edited the vlog, he should do it more often. I sat through the whole thing surprisingly.

I haven't watched their vlogs for ages as I can't stand the over the top hype (and the rad/ epic/ savage nonsense). but I enjoyed that one - finally something that seemed genuine (and it was well thought out and well done). Has anyone worked out who all of the people helping were? There was a blonde woman who looked vaguely like what's- her-name Gardner?

Nope. It was them, mindys mom and dad, and their personal friends and their families. Stephanie and her family. Sarah and her family.

Ah. Thank you for confirming that (They don't seem like the brightest of people, but I didn't think that they would be openly associated with the Gardners for a while). One thing that I do wish at the moment is that they wouldn't drag Madi down to their level - they are obviously using her for views and money (I hope that she's getting a good cut)

Mindy's meatloaf looks like crap and dry AF. Of course she would use a processed seasoning packet for an already easy recipe that doesn't require one. And where's the sauce that goes on the top?? All her lazy ass had to do was squirt some ketchup on it and it would've at least looked marginally better.

[lmmomSD]

So they are having a Halloween party, no masks of course. And instead of being present and enjoying the party, Mindy has her damn face in her phone narrating. "So the girls are playing".
Put the phone down and participate. She is truly addicted to Instastories and the adulation she gets from people who believe that the perfect facade they present is real.
I used to like them when they weren't going on rad, epic, savage vacations all the time. They used to just go hiking at the reservoir, and the kids would whine, like my kids, and now EVERYTHING has to be OTT, and they annoy TF out of me

It's what happens when money is involved. YouTube went from a hobby to side money doing it for fun....to now this is the career. *Binghams* are a brand. It's reality TV. They are not genuine in anything they do. It's all for YouTube to gain as many viewers as possible and to keep growing.

One of their fans made a TIHWB pumpkin. I’m sorry but are these fans delusional? They are YOUTUBERS. These people are not celebrities. It’s just bizarre.

All I keep thinking is "Feel the Rhythm! Feel the Rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time! Cool Runnings". Cool Runnings is one of my kids favorite movies.

Which is fine - but they should drop the hat and wig and be a little bit more sensitive to other people’s culture.

I think the Jamaican bobsledder is a little inappropriate. The movie probably wouldn't be made today even though it's based on a true story.
But I do give them credit for not doing a family costume. Those are really starting to get on my nerves. The Busbys at least let their girls pick out what they want to be. So many YouTube families are insisting on the picture perfect "family costume". And a bunch of them did Tiger King this year. So they aren't even being clever. Your kids, especially if they are twins or other multiples, are not a single unit. It's important to let them express themselves. For some of these vloggers, Halloween is probably the only time they can express any individuality.

I don’t know. I just feel like the poor kid saw the costume and probably enjoys the movie and because he’s a 12 year old he obviously didn’t realize it could be viewed poorly. And I’m sure naive Justin and Lindsey didn’t think anything of it either. Yes, they should be aware of cultural appropriation and the repercussions. Yes, he should have skipped the wig. But in the grand scheme of things... I just don’t see it being that serious.

It's not _that_ serious in the grand scheme of things. But I don't believe Justin especially is too naive to know better, especially right now with the BLM movement getting more attention (deservedly so). The kids definitely are. But continuing to give people passes is what perpetuates the stereotypes.

I also don’t think that they can be that naive that they are not aware of the potential offence the costume could cause. If Turin thought the costume looked like fun, it was his parents responsibility to explain why it’s not.
Turin must be what, 13? Kids where I live would be more than aware of the problem at that age.
They cannot be part of the Youtube community and not know the huge deal there has been over things like this, in recent times. High profile youtubers like Jenna Marbles apologised and stepped away from Youtube, for having dressed similarly in the past.
If they don’t know, they really should know.
Cultural appropriation is a real issue that shows a genuine lack of respect for other people. I know not everyone will agree with me on that.
It’s easy for me, as a white person, to say it’s not a big deal. However, it’s not my culture which is being appropriated and therefore, I feel I don’t have the right to say it’s not a big deal. I’ve never had people appropriate my culture or make a stereotype out of it.
I’m sorry if my views offend anyone. I’m really not trying to pick a fight here. I’m just very surprised that influencers would think it was appropriate to let their child dress like this.

I truly don’t think they in their little white middle class bubble had any inkling towards thinking it was inappropriate (which there in lies an issue obviously). They don’t seem to have any diversity in their lives. They live in the suburbs of Utah and they associate with people that are the same as them. I do agree that as a white person I don’t have the right to say “it’s not that big of a deal”. I am sorry I said that. But I think the state of Utah itself majorly lacks diversity with 89% of the population being white. 100% not making excuses for them. They don’t deserve excuses. I just think that commenting on an IG photo that their child’s costume was “inappropriate” isn’t going to be the most effective because idiot “fans” just tell people to “move on it you don’t like it”. I feel like my thoughts are swimming in circles at this point. TL;DR they need diversity lessons outside of their Utah bubble.

You are absolutely right.
In many ways, it’s very sad for their kids that they live in an environment which is so lacking in diversity. They are missing out on so many positive things.
I don’t mean to be rude about the Mormon culture because that would be wrong too but so many of these vlog families seem so out of touch with reality, in so many ways. You only have to look at the Gardners as a prime example!
I’m sorry if I came across as rude in my post. I didn’t mean to criticise you personally

Where they live the diversity is 0%. Inside proper city limits of Salt Lake City likely has somewhat more diversity + is definitely more open minded.

It's more ignorance and worst of all not listening to other people. Looking and taking in how other people live. Everyone there is a carbon copy of each other. They all think and act the same.

Mormon culture is interesting in Utah. America has a separation of church and state and yet Mormon religion drives the state of Utah.

I totally agree with what you are saying. As Mormons in Utah they are living in a very small, privileged bubble, but they really should educate themselves and their kids (I used to think that they were way more wholesome than TIHWB , but I actually don't think that they are much different)
