That wasn’t what her article was about. Had she focused on how WOC are portrayed that would have been one thing. But instead this piece was paragraph after paragraph of whining about interracial relationships on the big screen.  

Personally I agree, and in addition I’m also tired of all these people who are piling on you in their delusions about what it is “really about”. Girl didn’t even pick the right story to hide her agenda (this was after all based on a real story). Another case point for it really being about biracial people: the…

It’s like she wants to be mad at Kumail but she keeps hiding behind the movie.

Yeah, this article has a disgusting take that Kumail’s actual love is wrong. Which is fucked up any way you slice it.

Yeah...I sort of hate that this movie is being used as the laundry line that airs these issues. It’s an important point that deserves to be heard, but this is literally the third article I’ve read online about The Big Sick mainly discussing issues with white women/Asian men onscreen. It starts feeling like a…

I agree but isn’t this particular movie a true story? I don’t think it belongs quite in the same category because it was Kumail’s real life experience with his current partner and not a fictional creation. Thoughts?

I’m not torn. If this particular pay inequity isn’t racist, but just a lead-vs-support thing, the next question is (as you suggested): Is it not racist that PoC are yet again relegated to supporting white leads?

From what I understand, Caan got paid as a lead while being contracted to not be in all of the episodes (I think it was 4 fewer per season) because he preferred to be in LA. As much as I think I’d prefer Hawaii to LA, I’d be pissed if I was getting paid less than someone who was showing up for fewer episodes.  

Which of the cast of Friends were leading actors and which were supporting actors?

Intersectional Feminist Writer: Ugh, I can’t even with these people who won’t wake up and see the sexism all around them!

It was a good show

the online stuff they do for him is incredible

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, aliens plan to conquer Earth after they see how easy it is to manipulate humans by instilling fear, suspicion, and paranoia in them. It’s basically today’s GOP playbook.

Hated this episode. Hate this season. Just go already, Capaldi. Just leave us. I never liked your super charisma or amazing voice or incredible presence at all. Just because you’re the embodiment of everything I ever wanted in The Doctor means nothing. Just go... (Sobs into hands.)  

Somewhere out there, a Gawker blogger is furiously preparing a post explaining to me why it’s problematic that Marvel cast an Asian actor to play a kung fu practitioner.

I cannot get enough of this Fyre Festival Failure. Its SO funny to me. Keep the updates coming!

I don’t even know who that is. A quick google search, and I still don’t know who that is.

I feel like a Kardashian / Jenner promotion and no other real details is huge red flag #1.
