I’m responding to plug the book that these photos came from, Part Asian, 100% Hapa! I had it as an awkward white-passing Asian teen, it was vital. http://www.amazon.com/Part-Asian-100…

Lol what??

Part of the problem is that Asian/Mixed-Asian/Polynesian/Hapa actors are so underrepresented in Hollywood that taking away literally one of a few parts available to them and give them to a white person is never going to be the same thing as a PoC being cast as a white character. Never.

because white people aren’t 6.6% of the demographics coming out of hollywood. additionally, rue was not recast as someone black, she was black in the books. louis ck’s wife isn’t being cast as someone not black, angelina jolie in salt proved that the film worked regardless of gender.

Oh I have the best story about a wedding proposal...

Christ, that’s bad. My aunt’s MIL wore head to toe BLACK (with a lace face cover on her hat) and told everyone that she was in mourning for her only son throughout the wedding. That was fun!

It is sad that this needed to be written. But, THANK YOU.

My terror over messing up my makeup resulted in several photos with me doing this:

I want to know more about this too-small dog.

.... I’m not sure I’ve ever wanted to be invited to a wedding more than I do to yours.

I’m not even engaged but I went ahead and voted Yes because I’m a total crier. I cried last week because I saw a dog that was too small. My mom’s a crier and my dad is a beautiful sensitive Viking person who cries at “I Hope You Dance”. I also marked Yes for my partner because he cried the first time he told me he…

We both WEPT, as we knew we would, and it was one of the reasons we arranged to marry in a completely private ceremony (with only the officiant, and photogs there as witnesses). We both had hankies in hand bc we knew it would be a weepy mess. Miraculously my makeup survived (one of the main reasons I got lash…

Right there with you girl:

During the ceremony? No. Neither of us cried. (For the record - MY OWN WEDDING is the only one I have ever attended where I didn’t cry.) I did inform my dad several times before we walked down the aisle that if he cried, it would make me cry, and it would mess up my makeup, and I would never forgive him, so he held…

I teared up and cried a bit. My husband, however, ugly-sobbed his way through it. It was amazing.

I cried the entire time. I cried from the second I put my dress on until the end of the night. But I am a crier.

I did not cry. I did, however, start to have one hell of a panic attack once it was time for me to walk down the aisle. As I started to wheeze and get dizzy, my father (who was walking me down the aisle) looked at me and just grinned.

Someone get Mike Huckabee on the phone.

I canvassed for and participated in the data collection of this study. The folks in LA that used his methods were very earnest and I have witnessed first hand some remarkable conversations take place. What gets me is that it was a totally useful method of measuring public opinion in voting counties that voted heavily…

It’s worth pointing out that this is basically a success story. A paper was published after peer review determined it to be credible (not correct - that is not the purpose of peer review), others attempted to replicate the described “experiment” and could not obtain similar results, papers will have been published…
