Chrissy Teigen is dramatic af. Just say the movie. God.

The China/Tibet angle boils down to the almighty dollar: China refuses to recognize Tibet as its own nation, claiming that they own it. Tibet disagrees. Also, China is becoming a HUGE market for movie releases. They add a massive amount to the worldwide gross figures for new releases, but they’re picky about what…

IIRC, Mitch McConnell threatened to derail the entire investigation if it was revealed before the election.

I honestly feel like the only thing that Cho is really known for is racial controversy. I cannot think of one time where she got major attention for her actual talent; for being a really original, authentic, groundbreaking, or brilliant voice. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong. But, if she’s in the press, it’s usually…

You have no idea

Everything you said makes a lot of sense. I know there’s a lot of frustration around minorities being expected to shoulder the burden of explaining things to white people, or having to be nice to white people in order to “heal,” when white people aren’t asked to make any concessions. Which I think is bullshit. And I…

Seriously, it makes me want to scream. And I can’t wrap my brain around this infighting/backstabbing going on with the left. Like please please please don’t ignore the man behind the curtain

Cho’s view doesn’t make Swinton sound malicious at all. I’d say that’s some white fragility afoot. Chi portrayed Swinton as a hapless white person trying to make themselves feel better about some whitewashing she participated in. The emails don’t contradict that. Swinton just goes on and on about how the whitewashing…

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

i’m not cate blanchett enough to go caroling :[

“Its not my job to teach you even if you ask in earnest but fuck you for not knowing?”

I didn’t get it! I still don’t get it, but I want to. Please share!

Thanks for this. As much as I try to understand other viewpoints, at the end of the day my perspective is going to be different than that of someone from an Asian or minority background. I see your point and how Tilda’s responses may have come across as her brushing off Cho’s concerns.

That’s a lie. It’s obvious it was staged by the Democrats to make Obama look good. All completely fake.

And the whole “I have an Asian friend” thing did not come across at all. Cho specifically said she’d suggest producing something with Asian actors, to which Swinton responded that she was doing just that.

This stood out to me as well. I imagined TS had said something along the lines of, “why are people criticizing…

Right? I thought of Tilda as this ethereal being who “didn’t get it” and existed on her own plane and I was mistaken. Cho reiterated the whitewashing a couple times, but Tilda was trying to listen, she even opened with that. And I didn’t get the “but I have an Asian friend” vibe the way Cho suggested. I’m sure that’s…

Its this kind of thing that really fucks up the left and progress in general. In this instance, Tilda had a constructive conversation with her peer about how to address an issue, and then Cho takes it and warps it and makes it ugly.

I had a seizure on an airplane and had the same experience. So mortifying, even as you know it’s not your fault and people are mostly concerned.

OMG, president circus peanut! Also this just makes me more and more worried and angry. I’m struggling real hard to come to terms with the idea that despite YUUUUGE mountains of evidence of his incompetence, his having lost the pop. vote, and now this, he’s probably still gonna be elected. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. I…

It took me a second to get this, but when I did...A+
