Really hoping she wins the Oscar. I think she deserves it. Her role was really critical in making the film what it was.

If overhyped JLaw (who consistently gives moderately good performances and gets bombarded with accolades for NO GOOD REASON) steals it from under her I'm going to be fucking pissed.

Exactly. Is this really Vogue? Everything looks confused and fake. Not that Vogue is known for it's realism but I mean, it seems very amateur-ish and not that well thought out.

Sure: it's the laying down, the posture and THE PHOTOSHOP.

It's okay. I admittedly got too pissy too fast. Sorry for the disproportionate reaction.

Knowing that racists justify using the nword by citing black rappers as an example is "cynical"? Pointing out something that happens all the time is cynical now?

Whatever, man. Glad I gave you an excuse to use a GIF. Bye.

I guess what's really pissing me off is that the people liking your comment most likely read the article properly and know the man was white but are agreeing with your (mistaken) analysis that Kanye using the nword in his songs is just as bad as his wife being attacked with racist hate speech.

But other than that, my…

I agree so hard. Nothing is wrong with thinking abortions are wasteful, tragic, sad, terrible, ugly or any other number of negative adjectives. What matters is whether you think it should be illegal or not.

I'm pro-choice, and I'm not all that nonchalant about the morality of abortions. But I think it should be legal…

"Jesus...does ANYONE here read all the posts before they respond?"

Jesus, do you read Jezebel posts properly and with any basic common sense? If you read the post properly you would have seen that the person in question was making clearly racist, anti-black statements. The fact that the n-word was spelled "nigger" and…

No matter what you delusional, racist white people say you will forever pay the price for using anti-black hate speech. Your attempts to justify it are fucking gross and transparent.

If you think a black man reclaiming the word "nigga" for musical and artistic expression is in any way comparable to a white man using it in phrases such as "nigger lover" as hate speech.. you kinda make people want to fucking sock you in face too, to be perfectly honest.

Also, while "f*ggot" is a terrible word,…

Well, I guess that's some consolation to Katniss being whitewashed.

(Not really, tho)

I don't know, I guess Edward counts as the male flank because his role is extremely prominent as well.

Also, the fact that the movie is about the drama surrounding their ~love~ probably discounts the 'female driven-ness' aspect.

Appropriation is something the powerful do to the powerless. If 90% of international movie blockbusters were based on African history, culture, theater and literature, then white people could insert themselves into cinema and not be appropriating. Wanna turn tables and see how it feels or nah?

Hey, thanks a lot!

"Would you favor race-blind casting of a historical figure that, in terms of the historical reality, either was not, or (in the case of historical-fictitious characters) would likely not have been of a particular race? Like, for instance, a black King of England?"

No. Since it's based on actual…

Exactly.Why the fuck do we need MORE AND MORE white princesses from every European country real or imagined?! Why aren't there any Egyptian and Ethiopian princesses on the horizon? One Asian princess in like, the past 2 decades-why?!

Also, since this is talking cartoons we're referring to here. You really think they…

First you need to ask Hollywood why they spend so much energy and inspiration recreating the same movies over and over again rather than original stories. (The answer will be: money). Then you need to ask them why don't they make leading character POC when original stories do come about (safe money). Why do they make…

No. I don't mind. Thanks! Link me to it.

Thanks man. I just wish more people saw it like this. Maybe then they'd understand why I vomz when people respond to this exclusion with "well, Bond was a white character in a UK book blah blah blah". I know they don't mean any harm. But, it's harmful still.

Sorry I just need to get this out: can we talk about the way racist exclusions of non-white people is perpetuated in the media?

First: you have a whole bunch of traditional books,films, comics, tv shows and other media created for white people by white people using all white characters and white history to tell their…

OR

*cue white people saying "EXCEPT that James Bond comes from a novel featuring a white man from the UK. The author who created him created a drawing of the character, who is clearly white.
