Also could be that Cho willfully misrepresented the exchange to give undue credence to her position. But perhaps that’s not tidy enough for the narratives of many here...

No, she took a whitewashed role of her own free will. She is responsible for the consequences.

In the comics, Swinton’s character is a stereotypical “wise Asian” character, which many people find offensive. Rewriting that role as a white woman removes that, and creates a role for a woman. And then, they wrote a new Asian role and cast an Asian actor. No Asian actors lost work, a role for a woman was created, a…

Asian actors should play Asian roles.

Honestly, Cho has a good point but is shooting at the wrong target. She needs to take it up with the screenwriters who decided to change the character from an Asian man to a Celtic woman. Swindon was offered a role for which she was suited, based on the script, and she took it. Or am I missing something here??

You have a great point there. At these shows you aren’t just repping yourself but everyone who works on your show. Maybe they have your back on this, maybe they don’t. But some exec is going to remember this and down the line if he show is borderline keep or cancel and they go “Oh yeah, that was that show that the guy…

Wait, when did this kind of behavior become cute and delightful? Because nah, this shit isn’t cute and delightful. It doesn’t matter who does it - it’s childish.

Ok I love Atlanta and Darius, and am not a big fan of Silicon Valley but....am I alone in thinking that this was kind of a dick move/not funny?

I gotta be honest. I am so here for clichéd, feel-good junk. I want predictable plots and trite tearjerkers. GIMME.

I wouldn’t count on Melania “Jewish journalists bring anti-Semitic harassment and death threats on themselves” Trump on feeling a solid is owed. Certainly not to those who oppose her side.

I interviewed the winner for economics at MIT a few hours after he’d learned he won. He was stunned and beautifully gracious. He spent about a half hour explaining to me, an idiot, his field of study.

a candidate so manifestly unpopular as HRC.

Do you think Susan Sarandon will ever get to a point when she’ll think: “Oh yeah. I fucked that up.” Because I’m betting on NAH.

The best is Questlove’s retelling of his attempt to get invited to Patti LaBelle’s place for her legendary dinner. A must watch:

I look more like Britney than this chick.

Most notably crapping on Kristin Davis for being a mom and then the Kardashians for attending a benefit honoring their husband/father.

If the tone you were going for in the Kristin Davis section was total asshole, you really nailed it.

In 2011, Kristin Davis adopted Gemma Rose Davis. In 2016, Davis realized that her whiteness only protects her and not her daughter. Great.

Name the bills Bernie Sanders actually got passed during his time in the Senate. I believe there are two. He talks a good game and does virtually nothing for that $167,000 a year. Hillary Clinton can point to a huge list of accomplishments from the time she graduated from law school through her tenure as Secretary of…

This idea that our fellow citizens are innately good people.
