Nope. Hugely insensitive. You don’t think if you cast a Palestinian Muslim to play an Israeli there would be an outcry? Or a Jewish actor to play the Pope? Or a Chinese actor to play the Dalai Lama? Or a Pakistani to play Gandhi?

As an Australian his fury towards Melbourne had me extremely confused. I was all ‘Woah woah woaaah...slow your roll, mate: it’s a bit breezy in St Kilda today, but Hurricane?’
Pardon my ignorance as a foreigner, but in what world is a human man called *Shep*? o_O
Oh I saw them. I’m an English teacher, believe me, I saw them. ☹️️
...except for this time, that is...
No: not just Asian. They need to use a Chinese actress specifically in my opinion. It’s just as culturally insensitive to say ‘use an Asian actress’ when talking about a specific ethnicity. For example: Chinese people are very different to Japanese people: historically, culturally, politically and physically. And…
Dear Mike,
Jesus 😳
Ambivalent is exactly right - how else should you feel about somebody you don’t actually know? I mean seriously: I’m not dead, I’ve watched the TV show. But I’m also not an moron - I understand that it is not real life and that neither is her social media platform.
Hey: fuck you eric, and the underscore you rode in on.
This makes sooooo much sense! Personally from where I sat, in Australia watching the primaries, I hoped for your sakes Bernie Sanders *could* win the nomination but never thought he would.
Literally just came here to say Kim Kardashian was held up at gunpoint in her hotel room in Paris by 2 gunmen posing as the Fuzz, but I see the article has been updated now.
Ugh: or planning another goddamned wedding 🙄
Well this made my evening
I totally fixed that tweet from Trump
Good luck. The PRIME MINISTER of our country, some of his bloody cabinet and whole CHUNKS of his party are mentioned in the Panama Papers and we are stuck with the bastards 😑
Wait - I am a little confused here. And it is likely because I’m a *damned foreigner*, but bear with me because I’m also a prideful bitch (who likes to think she’s ‘home with the downies’ as Bernard Black would say), and I have been following this election cycle pretty closely, since it started back in 1173 and…
2016 is the year that I honestly did not think could beat 2015 for general ‘Are you Fkn serious RN millennium? Stealing all my Yin and giving me Yang?’ But I’ve been DROWNING in Yang all year.
I remember reading an article about Melania. Holy crap - that woman reminds me SO MUCH in so many ways of so many members of my Eastern Bloc family. Not in the respect that she’s married to a Trump-like character, or that she has been a glamour model (because despite what the Trump campaign will tell you, Melania…
YES! I feel terrible for her actually. Here is a very young woman who has her shit COMPLETELY together, (at her age there is no way I would have stayed at home to finish an essay instead of going out clubbing with friends), who has clearly got a wonderful relationship with her mother, who has obviously led an…
