There’s a great article over at The Mary Sue talking about just that, https://www.themarysue.com/lewis-tan-danny-rand-asian-representation/ Also, that actor’s name is Lewis Tan and yeah, he was far superior to the mediocrte-ass Finn Jones, both on the charisma front and with the martial arts stunts. And on a…
He was like a frizzy-haired piece of wood. I tried to give it a chance but he was just so annoyingly bland. And you could tell he had no martial arts training other than what he learned for the show. Everything he did seemed choppy and slow. There’s no way he was the best person to audition.
Yup. Honestly, even setting aside the issue of cultural appropriation (which IS a big issue, and should be front and center here), just from a story perspective- I think it would’ve made Danny Rand a legitimately more interesting character to have him be Asian! I think they could’ve used that to underscore how he…
One of the most exhausting and frustrating things in the whole entire world is a privileged white person with oppressive political views getting bent out of shape because someone reasonably makes the logical connection from those political views to personal beliefs and calls her out on it.
It also means he got drunk once and cheated on his wife.
It’s true, but it’s also true that she said she stopped wearing makeup because of the unrealistic expectations for appearance that women face, so wearing makeup and pretending you aren’t wearing makeup is just as bad as photoshop and crazy contouring in terms of setting up unreasonable expectations for how women…
When #45 announced that he wanted to bring in more ICE agents all I could envision was a bunch of scared men looking for any chance they could to make sure they could show all the immigrants that they mean business. It is terrifying.
“It’s a lie when they say he was holding a gun. He doesn’t even own a gun. They shot my dad. They shot him and I don’t know why.”
White folks don’t give 2 squirts about Dolezal. They have no idea what to do with her.
How is this any worse than Nicky Minaj’s pop/dancehall songs? Let’s talk about THAT fake accent.
Trans-racial is very much a thing. It’s on the same spectrum as trans-gender, furries, and otherkin.
I admit to being a Skin-So-Soft junkie. The bath oil smells fantastic, and absolutely lives up to it’s name. And the bubble bath can be sold all on it’s own merit. y in office Avon rep quit selling, so now I have to buy it on the internet, but I still love it.
Throw some colonialist history on them and they’ll run. If they hang around I tell them about the history of quadroons, they leave immediately
I know that - I was referring to how Hispanic is classified legally - like within the census. It’s treated as an ethnic identifier.
Yep. This is absolutely a case of white people giving here the benefit that MJ is her bio-dad. And Black people seeing her with our own eyes.
That is a virulent myth propagated by White supremacists (and unfortunately latched onto by more well-meaning people) to advance the idea of mongrel races.
She may have had a Black father, but gurl isn’t biracial.
That’d depend on if your adopted daughter’s birth parents are Hispanic. She is probably culturally Hispanic, if you raised her that way (and whatever that way is). But adopted children don’t discard their ethnic identities during transracial adoptions. Black children with white adoptive parents are still black.
No, because he was the same dude at the party that freaked out with the flash from the camera and yelled Get Out. Did you watch the movie?
