FWIW, not having a frame of reference to write about “The Black Experience” has never stopped white people from doing exactly that but Black people aren’t unicorns. You can go to downtown Reykjavik and find a black person, I assure you.

Yeah, Evan, just get $200M, secure a distribution deal from a publishing company, staff a bunch of black designers and make a game that has black people in it. The video game industry has a long history of empowering all kinds of people of color and equipping them with the resources that make games that aren’t full of…

Weird. You’d think filmmakers would be used to color correction?

Exactly. “I’m white and my worldview is white so my default perception will cater to that worldview.” Hence the problem with roles always defaulting to white actors regardless.

I’ll defer to all the people you’ve met whose last name is “Park” being white for whatever reason. As was pointed out, Ray Park isn’t Korean. That said, I hear Park; I think Korean because every Park I’ve ever met has been Korean and for the producers to opt to the less likely scenario is just a little puzzling to me.

So if the casting director and/or director decided to all the Jews in Schindler’s List should be Bengali that’s just another valid choice?

Movies and TV aren’t 90% white because all the casting directors have gotten together and said, collectively, “I hate actors of color and I will never, ever audition anyone who isn’t white.” Movies and TV are 90% white because white people have the luxury of only considering the world from their point of view. That’s…

Thank you for making my point. You go out of your way to find the ONE white guy named Park when you know damn well every other Park you’ve ever met in your entire life was Korean.

I know white people named Lee and black people named Verge. But if a character is named Park I’m going to audition Asian actors because that’s how I would interpret the character absent something explicit. The problem is that in America the default interpretation is white so the creator’s intent is irrelevant because…

“Please lavish me with praise and attention for exerting, literally, zero effort.” - Schlubby white guys.

I love Natalie Dormer and I think she’s a great actress (and very attractive) but when I first saw her on GoT before I learned her name I just called her “Pig Faced Girl”.

The author and critics are saying the character is Korean American and not just Asian so you may have missed something.

“Diversity is in the casting of the film, not in the casting of the show. Wait, what are talking about? Apples? Are we talking about apples?”

No such thing as knowing to much about Young Guns and Young Guns 2.

Cuban, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Columbian, Dominican. It’s all the same to white folks. Tiny Fey is this close to pulling a Matt Damon behind this bullshit.

Wait, I thought Logan was dead?

I think it’s genes (not like hand-me-down clothing). I remember seeing her on in a video clip of something and being like “Whoa! J-Lo’s mom is hot!”
