Well it's a good thing all Europeans are white!

I was interested in both the shows Once Upon A Time & Grimm, but the cast of OUAT is so white that I can't.

hahahahaha, which is why when they let Brandy play Cinderella no one had any idea who she was supposed to be or what the story was. All the integrity was lost!

Mandate paid paternity leave.

The population of Portland is about 500,000. The population of Houston is over 2 million — I'd assume that has something to do with it.

I don't want to step on Ash_Teej's toes here, but uh. It's not that difficult to find resources on cultural appropriation of Native American clothing.

From what I have read, things like moccasins aren't considered particularly offensive, especially if they are from an authorized seller of Native American crafts. They're shoes, which are worn as shoes and don't have a lot of extra cultural meaning.

"This is always a crowd pleasing conversation in my microbiology classes," says Pat Fidopiastis, an assistant professor of biology at Cal Poly. Fidopiastis says he's heard all of my hand-washing protestations before, and to all of them he has the same response: "Perianal sweat."

This would be pretty amazing.

Racism in Hollywood isn't some "great crime," I guess (?), but it'd be nice if Hollywood could take a chance on a remake of a film that will have a built-in, guaranteed audience to come see it with at least one non-white lead (which is still possible, but uh, I'm not holding my breath). This is a film that could…

This assumes that the race of the characters is determined by "whoever" they cast. Like, Garrett Hedlund is sooo great they just happen to have a white dude protagonist. This ignores the basic fact that these casting calls were almost certainly targeted toward white dudes in the first place. There's no "need" to cast…

It's not technically white-washing, but there isn't really a great word that encompasses 'taking another culture's story and then refusing to consider non-white leads even though you're setting it in New York.' Because literally the only people considered for leads have been white dudes (and Keanu). Racebending, I…

Because no Asian people live in NYC? Only white people seem American?

So I think I might end up seeing Tower Heist for her.

Homecoming is a dance that's associated with a big sports game, normally a football game, and usually accompanied by a spirit week of support for the school and the teams. I think it's called 'homecoming' because at universities alumni are invited to attend said game.

I'm not 'against' it (as in, people can obviously do what they please for Halloween), but I do think it's an action that can be inflammatory and offensive so they should be prepared to get called out.

Uh no, because no one is currently worshipping the Greek pantheon.

I'm pretty sure people can acknowledge that Jennifer Lawerence is a good actor WHILE being disappointed that only white ladies were considered for a character many read as mixed race.

haha, well played.

Well, for one thing, I've never heard "I think like a guy..." from a lady that wasn't meant in some way to put down other ladies.
