I know this has been coming up a lot lately but seriously, brain? SERIOUSLY?
So this kind of hilarious thing happened, right. At least, I found it kind of hilarious, but I have a questionable sense of humor.
I woke up this morning from a dream inexplicably involving Eric, Sookie, Bill, and D (as in Vampire Hunter D), and there was this secret group of some kind of super-powerful, Japanese supernatural being moving in on, I don't know, Vampire Land's territory? Somebody's territory, anyway. Only when the Japanese supernatural beings showed up, they were all white. And I don't mean white-skinned Japanese people (or white-skinned Japanese monsters or whatever), I mean white people. I - well, for a very loose value of "I" - I wasn't in the dream, these were just my thoughts as I was watching - anyway, I was baffled by this when they showed up, as it didn't make any sense, and it started making me feel so uncomfortable that I got really distracted from the proceedings. And yet there was this eye-rolly feeling of resignation and total lack of surprise, too.
Dave: "...Wait, you were complaining about the whitewashed casting... in your dream?"
Me: "...yes?"
Dave: "Okay, you only have yourself to blame for that."
WHITEWASHING, Y'ALL. EVEN OUR DREAMS ARE NOT SAFE.
