It's been six years since the last one. It had been six years between that one and the book before (before which he completed the books on a more sensible schedule.)

I've heard of at least one case of someone whose Ellis Island name became Cohen because they had the etymologically unrelated Irish surname of Cohan.

Nope! They will have directed four films, but those films will be the second and third Captain America films, and the fourth and fifth Avengers films.

Or the European Union.

Yep, it's just the (most recent) slate of movies.

*Database voice*
Ahhhh actually they're calling it the DCEU, or DC Comics Extended Universe, which is cumbersome both in the sense DC Comics is a confusing acronym (as the DC stands for Detective Comics) and Extended Universe is a term usually used for ancillary media.

If James Gunn directed the third Guardians, he'd be the first person to direct a full trilogy of MCU movies.

Touche. I guess I just meant, like, within a century - DNA testing on a relative of mine suggests some Estonian roots, but those probably go back to Viking times.

And Boris Johnson is directly descended from a Turkish immigrant. I mean, really now.

I quite like London, probably for exactly the same reason.

And of course, there are the European countries which never had colonies, and were in many cases annexed by other European empires, who in spite of (or perhaps because of) having these national narratives of oppression find a hell of a lot of support for anti-immigrant stances.

Man this reminds me of the time a white British guy paraphrased what a black British person he met once said about race in the United States to explain why casting white people or something wasn't a big deal.

You know the Americans is one show where casting its lead as a European faking being an American makes a lot of sense.

Wait, what problems do people have with Mickey Rooney independent of that film?

They're just the first two I found on a cursory look. You want something with real volume, then, Emma Stone in Aloha playing a biracial character.

I don't see how.

Masters of None included Apu in its montage of stereotypes of Indians on TV in the episode "Indians on TV."

Fair enough. I also need to see Boy and the Beast, and have half a mind to maybe watch that GitS movie and some other miscellany so I'm more or less up on the GitS anime before that movie I may or may not see.

Right? God, that was so good.

I've also done this, although I rewatch pretty rarely.
