I haven’t quite nailed exactly what it is that makes me not on the Pete bandwagon, but I think it’s this : He’s a young white guy who is just smart and charming enough, and has been on the fast track to success his whole life, so he just assumes he can skip past all the intermediary steps it is supposed to take to be…

welcome! one of the few places on the internet with little-to-no hatred

This is really cool, the Japanese music scene is crazy creative. I wish we got more exposure to their music here. I have been hooked on their jazz scene for awhile. Old school was UFO (United Future Organization) and a little more recently Indigo Jam Unit

I’ve been working my way thru the world of Asian post-rock/math-rock recently.

“The folks behind The OC and Gossip Girl can would get the teen stuff right.”

Ana Tijoux made what I consider the best female Spanish language ever with “1977". I can barely make out half the words but I know when someone is dropping bars and someone is faking it. Cardi is faking it.

There’s a ton of foreign-language hiphop that I love despite not understanding a word of it. Freeman’s “La Palais de Justice” album is one of my take-to-a-desert-island pieces of hiphop and the only thing I’m really comfortable saying in french is “Royale with Cheese.” I really just don’t get CardiB.

The real-life subtext was clear and yet, for her, convenient to overlook.

A wise person once said “We don’t need a Justin Timberlake anymore, we have a Bruno Mars.”

How much to sit in the seats that are made of coffee?

You saw the opportunity, you took it.

I’m with you on everything you wrote. I have newfound respect and admiration for Ryan Coogler, and the type of person he is. Its fucking awesome he recognized that he has only lived the African American life, in America, which doesn’t give him any perspective on being a Black African in Africa is like, and took the…

He went above and beyond and I think “Black Panther” is going to be great. I’m just excited for all the press we are about to get. It’s rare for a movie with a majority Black cast to receive the promotion budget Marvel aka Disney can afford. Get ready for our heroes on red carpets and fan experiences around the world.

Thank you. Whenever this topic comes up, inevitably there are (presumably) Africans complaining because Somalia/Ghana/Tanzania/Kenya/Eritrea was not mentioned.

A few things:

I believe the tone of the article is that “Tony” is a “John” and the “first date” was a “girlfriend experience” gone horribly, horribly awry.

JANET.

To be fair the system is more of a fit for Matt. You see, Kaep is a mobile QB, who makes plays out of the pocket while Desh.. shoot me.

Yeah after what he said about the protests there’s a 99% chance he never told his staff to do that, but rather told his PR team to sell that to the media...

Little known fact… There is one Asian actor in Hollywood. His name is George Takei and he can’t play all these roles. Let’s get real. The problem is not that these casting directors “whitewash” their decisions. The problem is that there aren’t enough Asian people.
