This aspect of the story puzzles me!

Literally nothing about this story is not off-the-charts weird.

I find it very... weird how eager her parents are to do interviews and stuff

We can always tell. I have a bunch of cousins that are her color. My own daughter is very fair with straight hair. I’m medium brown with 4c hair. I took one look at her and went, ‘yep, white.’

Word. I also am a light skinned chick. Haitian parent, white parent, white husband & lighter kids. Big ass multi racial family. It’s not about skin color or a hairstyle. It’s just a sixth sense type of thing. When you’ve spent your whole life living with different shades and mixes, it’s just something you can see in…

This isn’t grammar, but the process is the same. Call them what you will, drones are very much in the wider public eye at this point, with tons of media coverage (amazon drone delivery, drone privacy issues, drone landed on Japanese prime minister’s roof, etc), and the term everybody is using is “drone”. It isn’t just…

The same goes for “drone.”

Sure there’s nothing particularly wrong with “quadcopter” (Ok, it is a little awkward), but it doesn’t matter. Language moves as it does, not how some engineering professor at the University of Pennsylvania, or any other person railing against some change, wishes it to move.

Engineers are notoriously horrible at relating to and communicating with normal people.

Meh. Those 99.9% contributed to putting those people into power, so they’re complicit. All I’m saying is that the ideals espoused by Dylan never really stuck, but people LOVE to pretend that they did.

I know I’m supposed to revere Bob Dylan, but...really? “Changes the world”? The generation he supposedly spoke for has virtually destroyed the economy and the planet (not to mention continually engaging in pointless wars), and are pretty much comprised of entitled, pushy assholes who scorn every other generation that…

What about Katie Chang from the Bling Ring + Hair dye. Problem solved. But no. That would be too simple.

There are plenty actors/actresses of asian heritage who do not appear so at first glance. Olivia Munn, Jennifer Tilly, Rob Scheinder, Dean Cain, Kristen Kreuk, Chad Michael Murray. If he really wanted to he could have hired an actress who was a 1/4 asian.

Hello,

I wish I had something like this! I have one (or maybe two, no one knows who my dad’s dad is) Mohawk grandparent and a dad who is visibly and culturally native. I grew up on our trap line and lived fairly traditionally. I’m white as fuck while my sister is “vaguely ethnic-looking” and gets “are you part native/Asian…

As a mixed-race woman, his explanations for casting Allison Ng particularly drove me bonkers. Is he really trying to say there are ZERO beautiful hapa actresses in all of Hollywood (or hell, even in Hawai’i) who he could’ve cast for this movie? Or just that none of them are as $$$bankable$$$ as a generic-looking white…

Or Katrina Law.

Again, I said that it’s possible. Unlikely that someone with that ethnic background would look like Stone, but a chance. I am multiracial. I am well aware of what we all look like.

Except that the character is half-white. She is supposed to be a quarter Hawaiian as well - and Polyneisian people tend to be on the browner side of things. There is no way in fuck Emma Stone passes as half white, half Hawaiian, half Asian. Is it possible that someone with that ethnic background would look completely,…

All that other stuff sounds great, but I notice you don’t mention if they provide pregnancy counseling. If they do, I don’t give a shit about what other needed services they offer. I only care about whether they lie to vulnerable women about the risks of abortion to put pressure on them to make a particular choice.
