I’m not saying its morally right, I’m saying that, to answer your question, that it make some sense why Miss South Africa isn’t black. Keep in mind that Aparteid was only 20 years ago. Look at the United States and how far it has (or hasn’t) come in 60. And Aparteid was a hell of a lot worse than Segregation. So while…

Have you ever been to South Africa? By your logic, immigrants to the US aren’t American. The Afrikaans people, whether they’re white or “coloured” (yes that’s an accepted classification in South Africa) or even Indian will identify as South African because their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents have…
Not really true if you’ve ever been to Cape Town.
Race works very differently in South Africa. For example, there’s an entire group of people who self-identify as “Coloureds” and are a community of mixed race people who speak Afrikaans and live near Cape Town. South Africa is called the Rainbow Nation because of the sheer amount of cultures and skin-tones represented…
Its shocking how out of touch actors seem in these negotiations, but I totally believe that this would happen to a guy too. Often they’re pitched movie roles without any mention of their cultural significance until they get farther along.
Tell that to Mick Jagger. He did all of this (or their era-appropriate equivalent) and is still running strong. Lifestyle isn’t a factor.
I believe they saw it this way. Hell, I saw it this way. Two years ago I genuinely believed Trump was playing a character for the ratings. I didn’t think he was some “all publicity is good publicity” savant, but it gave you the impression that he was playing at being a blowhard 80's villain caricature. How many…
Can we retire the phrase “break the internet”?
As a white man who would prefer not to ever serve Jury Duty again... I’m all for this
I mean, isn’t a study like this always going to show this result? Like, by offering a choice in the first place, you’ve already rigged the results. Unless the study asked whether people would rather choose the race of their doctor or have no choice, in which case yeah, the results would show a racial bias, but if you…
They probably CAN, but don’t because Amazon doesn’t care about making money, and will likely divert funds from some other venture to make up for rising shipping costs, so that they can reap the benefits of increased holiday business.
I live in DC. It does not surprise me at all that they haven’t found anyone yet. The National Mall is massive, filled with countless monuments, and areas that are not covered by surveillance. Me and my college friends conducted many a drunken activity uninterrupted by patrols. The Park Service can barely afford the…
I’m tired of hearing this argument. The truth isn’t boring. If it was boring, nobody would go out of their way to make the movie in the first place. Tupac led an exciting life with fascinating people surrounding him. You don’t have to run over the truth to accomplish a goal of adapting his life.
Why do biopics take liberties with the truth, especially when the people being portrayed are alive? I can understand dramatizing scenes where there isn’t a witness to tell you what actually happened, but when you have the person you’re portraying telling you what occurred and what didn’t, why risk bad publicity and…
Five year olds typically have some form of supervisor/escort on busses. Where was that person? How did they not know where they were going? How did they not realize the school was closed? What about the bus driver?
That’s it? So were they worried about time?
Does anyone know what the administation’s speech said? Why were they trying so hard to control the message?
Interesting, I think this is the most important part of this story.
I thought it was funny...
