I’m a hetero white dude. I don’t need to see people who look like me, or are anything like me, to enjoy a TV show or movie. I don’t understand people who do.

Never been to Seattle. I think I found them on epitonic.com back when it was full of free mp3's from indie bands. I don’t even know if that site exists anymore.
