I will second this Master's Sun rec, it also gave me the obnoxious/unstoppable urge to go 'ka ja' and wave my fingers at random strangers for about a week after I binge watched it. Also Gong Hyo-Jin is one of my favorite kdrama actresses/actresses period.

I just finished 'Good Doctor' and it is amazing, the main character actor, Joo Won, rightly won all the awards for that role. Also, my absolute favorite is 'Queen In-Hyun's Man', only drama where I unabashedly bawled my eyes out along with the character (also the chemistry between Yoo In-Na and Ji Hyun-Woo is amazing,…

Go on Viki.com, watch it with comments, it's the best way to watch a kdrama. And seconding a previous commenter, be prepared to lose days and weeks of your life. Welcome to the world of kdrama.

You and me both o, my sister. The thought that we Africans just might be able to speak for ourselves, if they would but listen, appears inconceivable to certain types of white people.

Fellow fantasy and sci-fi nerd here, and tell me about it- it motivated me to find fantasy/sci-fi works by Black/African authors and artists though, so one good thing to come out of that

Trust me, as I've posted elsewhere on this page, I'm all too familiar with the subject of identity crises while living in America. I've had to understand that you can be at once privileged and disenfranchised: eg being part of the upper middle class elite in Nigeria, being part of the educated elite in America, yet…

I see what you mean, the context definitely matters, but most of the time I've had even random strangers who've been to Nigeria, come up to me excited, trying to identify my ethnic group or share the bit of Naija pidgin they've learned in their recent trip to Nigeria, I actually don't mind at all/am somewhat…

Oh man, this one. Not about the Carrie Underwood, but that whole 'not liking what you're supposed to like as a 'Black' person' gave me such (in retrospect cringe-inducing and maybe somewhat funny) terrible identity crises as a teenager FOP from Nigeria to the US back in the day. Yes, there are Black Nigerians and even…

Oh maan, so been there- the only brown person in my all white class, and when the topic of slavery and race came up in class, all eyes turned to me. Only, it was even more ridiculous since I'd only been in the US for just over a year from Nigeria at that point, so what in all f-ery was I supposed to know about the…

On the Ghana story, I'm from Nigeria, and we can usually tell other Africans apart. So, sometimes if I see someone who looks like they're a fellow Nigerian/West African/African, I will go up to them and ask if they're from Nigeria/Ghana/Kenya etc. Hadn't realized it was rude though...

So I understand where you're coming from, being an immigrant 2 world-er myself, but I agree with Evie Havok's point here that this is a case, at least to Mexicans of brown-hued descent, of being unable to 'eat your cake and have it' so to speak. In my experience, when confronted with this kind of situation, while…

Now, I'm confused- you made a statement about earnings, tinybaker and I have refuted your claims with numbers and now you're stating that you actually meant the unemployment rate? Why exactly should the unemployment rate- 13% for black American men vs 11.5% for black American women, barely a 1.5% difference, by Bureau…

So this is False, from the Center for American Progress: "Women of all major racial and ethnic groups earn less than men of the same group." "For black women, their weekly earnings are $599 compared to $665 for black men":

Posted above, but here's some newer news on the awesome child dancer front:

Here's something newer re 'fantastically awesome child dancers':

Oh my God, these comments... it appears that Williams careless idiocy in his comments is only outmatched by the deliberate obtuseness of much of the comments on this article. I don't know why I feel betrayed/disappointed by the Jezebel commentariat on this issue, I suppose I should have expected this given the…

Oh my God, thank you for this comment/your comments on this thread. I don't know why I feel betrayed/disappointed by the Jezebel commentariat on this issue, I suppose I should have expected this given the 'feminism is for white women' attitude often displayed on the site, but seriously people, what in all the 7 hells…

As a Nigerian, with the accompanying necessary hyper awareness of the evils of colonialism and the horrors perpetuated by the British royal family, the opinions expressed by the OP and in much of this thread are...troubling, to say the least. Thank you Ossifrage for your reasoned, level headed points, and you are a…

Did you just reference Code Geass?...You just referenced Code Geass...on Jezebel...And now, the universe is complete.

Haha, I know right- clearly they both hit the relationship jackpot.
