Again...it’s actually possible to call Geoff Johns an asshole without claiming that his ability to pass invalidates his lived experience as a BIPOC.

I mean...Whedon’s being an asshole doesn’t *actually* draw nearly as clear a line to Fisher’s part being cut as the studio’s runtime mandate does.

Yep - Afghanistan is in the heart of the Hindu Kush...and has a border with China.

Another way to phrase it is that Walker’s a Boromir figure.
