Denial. It's a pretty thing, ain't it?
- Me: I didn't know there was a certain "look" or "accent" I had to subscribe to in order to be considered Asian.
Ken: Hm?
Me: If lack of Asian accent means the kids in Avatar aren't "Asian"...and I don't have an Asian accent either, then...
...
Me: Does that mean that I'M NOT ASIAN?
...
Me: FINALLY I CAN SHED THESE SHACKLES OF OPPRESSION FOR LO, I AM WHITE! MY ENGLISH SPEAKING ABILITIES DEEM IT SO!
Ken: I guess we don't have an interracial relationship anymore
Me: I know!!! But it's okay Ken. We'll just have to find other ways to be politically correct!
Ken: Well, we did adopt a non-white unicorn child...
Me: Yeah, that was very Brangelina of us!
Ken: Indeed.
Me: What can I do now that I'm white? I mean, other than be the Prince of Persia.
Ken: You can be in the Avatar movie now!
Me: wait for srs?
Ken: Yes, now that we know your accent won't upset the viewers, you're perfect for it. Just pick any role that hasn't been claimed yet
...
Me: I want to be Appa!
Ken: Ok, sounds good. Can you fit 4 children on your back?
Me: No. But I'm white and so is appa so at least that's accurate amirite?
Ken: Actually, Appa is a SkyBison-American
...
Me: What? How are they going to cast that?
Ken: they will hold an open casting call somewhere, and then hire a white person and claim no sky bison americans showed up to audition. So as long as you can act like appa well enough they might hire you.
Me: Yay!
Ken: But you need to be able to fit 4 children on your back. Preferably while swimming.
