Which is the bigger demonstration of faux outrage bullshit?
Which is the bigger demonstration of faux outrage bullshit?
What sport? (If that's not too personal.)
I just feel bad for the athletes, especially the folks in sports like track and field where this is their best and only chance of making a national impression and snagging that Wheaties box front. This is like watching veal get made.
Anybody else planning to boycott coverage of this fiasco?
Charles Barkley, is that you?
Oh, NBC, you are so adorably fucking wrong about women and sports.
Well, of the first 14 actors listed on IMDB, nine are women, so I would call that “plenty of women.” I’m not sure where or how you think I insulted Florence Kasumba and Mayling Ng unless your position is that they are so awesome that they should each count triple when calculating how ethnically diverse this movie is.
I took your challenge and went to the IMDB cast list. Two of the named characters in this movie are women of color. One actor near the top of the cast list has a Middle Eastern name, but IMDB doesn’t say what character he is playing. That’s it for actors of color until you get to the bottom of IMDB’s cast list where…
As I said: “two Amazons with names.”
“Plenty”= two Amazons with names and a Middle Eastern guy whose character hasn’t been named yet but appears toward the top of the cast list, plus “first Turkish soldier,” “Turkish slave,” etc.
Also, remember, it wasn’t just U.S. vs. Germany. France was a major colonial power in Africa, and French African units like the Tirailleurs Senegalaise served in combat in WWI. Great Britain sent 15,000 West Indians into combat, as well as the famous Nepalese Ghurkas and more than a million men from India, Pakistan…
The 369th Infantry “Harlem Hellfighters” spent 191 days on the front lines, including Belleau Wood. The whole unit received the Croix de Guerre.
Members of the 92nd Division of the U.S. Army, called the “Black Devils” by German troops in WWI. There were 42,000 African-American combat troops in WWI. More than 80,000 served if you include support missions.
Uggggggghhhhhhhh.
Oh, well played!
Harry is another guy who seems to genuinely love the character.
Harley Quinn seems like a natural.
I'm not comfortable calling any of these ironic. Wonder Woman Boy seems 1000% invested.
