That’s because Hitler did spend a lot of time glamming up his rhetoric, coordinating ceremonies, cloaking his behavior in mythology. Had his own producer/director Riefenstahl to create sleek presentations.

Eric Trump has a foundation that donates money to charity. The money would have augmented the money already in the charity.

I’m Latino and gay... and couldn’t disagree more with your comment.

That person’s reasoning is nonsense. The director made a judgment call. The goal was to be diverse and avoid outdated stereotypes that are offensive today. So they had one character Asian, another black, and another made from male to female and of Celtic origin.

Agreed on all points. And this conversation was definitely too fraught and nuanced to be had over email.

I am also white. It seems like maybe Cho was being nice and diplomatic instead of saying what she really thought. It seems like Tilda was honestly trying but also trying to promote the movie and say how it is actually okay. Maybe Cho viewed in negativity in hindsight because she felt like she couldn’t say her real…

so are you mad that a black actor was then cast in place of a white guy or nah? Just curious where your outrage is at on this.

She has connections to a different culture, whatever. The point is Swinton made an honest and well-intentioned attempt to understand this issue and was not rude or offensive about it at all. And Cho shat on her publicly for no good reason.

Can I reply to this sentiment because I am honestly curious about this.

Well tbh I’m not too worried about white people getting thrown under the bus, I think we’ll recover.

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here.

Being white means nothing in this situation. Here was one human being trying to earnestly relate to another human being of a different culture, and then said other person went on to be a two-faced ass about it for no reason.

asking him to prove the child ever existed

Yeah, we like to conveniently overlook little details as long as we think the overall package is preferable. Never forget Candidate Obama said he’d close Gitmo right away. President Obama took like 6 years to do it. And don’t forget President Obama as pursued a policy of distant and autonomous drone strikes, some…

I hope so. It would be nice if they started nominating people who weren’t so close to death. But, I understand they will only give up the power when we rip it from their cold dead hands.

The setup and the situation for the show wasn’t sexist and homophobic, but the writing was. I can’t believe I made myself look this up, but at the end of the Season 4, Episode 7 (“Nude Photos”) there’s a gratuitous homosexual-panic riff between the parental characters about Mike being gay because he was reluctant to…

Hopefully that skips every 5th president.

I think this might’ve been my final straw with him. I fully acknowledge he’s an egotistical ass that says a lot of stupid shit, but I thought for sure he’d stay away from the spotlight for awhile to focus on himself and Kim since they’ve both had a rough couple of months. His music is what kept me a fan. I still bump…

How did both of those egos fit into one elevator?

Hey, I’m an old, menopausal woman. Let’s not stereotype based on age and reproductive status. I’m pro-choice, all the way.
