I feel like they expect women all over the country to clutch their pearls as they loudly gasp, “No!” and fall upon their fainting couches, when really most people will be like, “Yup, sounds fair, you gonna mail that to me, or. . . ?”

Yeah, global is a poor metric. It’s really US/Canada/UK, with a smattering of French/Australian/New Zealand. I also certainly don’t mean to diminish the underrepresentation of Latino and Asian actors. Ugh, fucking Hollywood. As Ava Duvernay said, we all deserve icons in our own image.

Let’s ask him.

I thought he was so outstanding in Fruitvale that I bought it, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it again. It’s too real.
