Oh my god guys. I was so horrified like whoa I could not keep the horror to myself ( Read more... )

It seems I only feel compelled to use the eljay to rant about racism or fangirl about movies and tv. So obviously I can't resist when the two overlap?? The internets have a lot of good articles on the history of racism in film and tv casting (a lot of it involves asians especially) BUT I LOST THE LINKS they were on the dead computer. :p ( Read more... )

My computer broke, lol. I think it's been 5 years now where each year I've purchased a $500 computer and then it lasts about a year before it combusts. I'm trying to get credit through sonystyle (I got rejected though) but I'm not discouraged yet. Well I am, but I'm not going to give up or anything. If all else fails I of course can go a year ( Read more... )

On one hand, the last thing I ever want to do is start a racewanking flamewar, but on the other (more important) hand, the only way to fight racism is to call people on their racist bullshit.

Any OMGWTFSQUEEEEEEEE ANOTHER DISCWORLD MOVIE flailing was shut down before it even got off the ground.

Guys... guys, they cast a white guy as Twoflower!
They cast an old guy as Rincewind!

This has been irritating me for several months.

Because I've been wishing for a black disney heroine since I was five they've got all the other colors godammit. But the problem is that I'm not five anymore, and I'm just not going to be able to apprecate it on such a shallow level because it's A) too little too late and B) OMG they're getting it ( Read more... )

basalt showed me this after I showed her another retarded thing to come out of Anne Coulter's mouth (but I learned some time ago that fundamentalists view Jews as "incomplete" christians), of course what O'Reilly said pissed me off more lol. It's hard to get too angry at what Coulter says cos she's just soooo wacky and thinks that women shouldn't have ( Read more... )

minorities should stop acting like their stereotypes if they don't want white people to be prejudiced!!

I have a dirty dirty secret. :p Some time ago, I watched a few episodes of Jake Long: American Dragon and I... I liked it! If only more shows could realize how crappy they were and take steps to improve instead of settling for mediocrity! The show goes from season 1 too hideous to watch to season 2 actually being rather cute! I still hate the ( Read more... )

Minorities make up a 3rd of US population now
"The United States prides itself as a country built on successive waves of immigration, with the Statue of Liberty in New York a powerful symbol of the welcome to immigrants. But the country remains divided over the subject."I guess I'm feeling cynical but I wanna know where this "pride" they speak of ( Read more... )
