Its totally this. Happens all the time. She has SO much leverage at this point. Whether WB realizes it or not, she’s their biggest asset right now, ESPECIALLY with Snyder’s unfortunate absence (because of personal tragedy, not because his work is actually missed).

the Sand Snakes have consistently been some of the most interesting and compelling characters on the show
Yes! And everything that comes before it, his whole monologue is gold.
You and me both. He is by far one of the most compelling characters in the books, and simultaneously the most boring on screen. His quote about gods steals the show for me, and they butchered it when they brought him to the show.
Fair enough. Jack Rose and Tryst are great. I’d add McClellen’s Retreat and The Big Hunt (that’s more south of DuPont but it counts cuz its awesome). Also surprising me that your 14th St list is missing Churchkey.
Weirdly I’ve never had a first date at any of those, but I’ve been meaning to hit up Le Diplomate and I’ve done happy hour at Barcelona a few times. My favorite first date spots are closer to DuPont/Admo area.
DC resident here, this is me. Its sad but its true.
Then define “actual African”. How many generations have to pass before a person can consider their birthplace their home?
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.
