What I love is that this is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of all the whining around here and elsewhere when word of the reshoots came out. Everyone was all worried that “Garth Edwards has turned in a gritty film where everyone dies and now Disney is forcing him to keep them alive and lighten it up!”

If Lucas had been directing, the final scene would have been Jyn and Cassian in a musical cantina on Tatooine while and old man and a boy in desert robes walk by with a Wookiee.

Jesus H. Christmas, are you right. I myself am Asian, but can imagine that a white person might read all this and think ”great, so if I want to do the right thing and try to ask someone nicely, I get my head bitten off and dragged through the mud anyway? Why bother!”

If soap damages the seasoning, the seasoning was failing already - probably from cooking too much acidic stuff without building seasoning in between. I do some sauces in my iron too - but I know if I simmer it too long I lose some seasoning and have to build it back up. This is inevitable. This is OK - another…

Not in Florida. You are allowed to protect your property with deadly force.

I’m a firearms owner and enthusiast, and I’ll be that guy who says that the driver had no right to put the passenger’s life at risk like that. The passenger didn’t sign up to be a bystander in a gun fight, and I can bet that is part of the reason why Uber has a no-firearms policy. So many things could have went…

Am I the only one amused that celebrities would want to have ‘geek cred’??

Arguing with white supremicists or Trump-ites in general, is like arguing with the kid who punches the first baseman and steals all the bats, and proclaims he won baseball.

The director spoke about it in interviews, a script doctor was brought in to tweak after the first pass. It’s pretty standard practice with large tent pole features like this. Given it was the first in the “A Star Wars Story” films it was scheduled into production as they knew they were going to have to fine tune the…

Yeah, because it would have been impossible to write the role for an Asian person without portraying them as a stereotype. /s

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

That house Asian thing is particularly bullshit when Cho has put herself out there as a critic of Swinton getting the role. It’s like, “I speak for Asians when I say we’re upset at you.” “Can you explain why you think people are upset about this thing, so I can understand.” “This bitch thinks I speak for Asians, fuck…

Cho has made herself one of the main voices of this debate and was publicly criticizing the movie and Swinton. If someone does that, they can’t then claim that if someone wants to talk about it with them that they are being turned to as the only Asian in the room. She has set herself up as an expert on this issue for…

I’m guessing that Cho doesn’t understand why a lot of people are pissed at her. It has nothing to do with her feelings that Asian actors should play Asian roles, which is completely valid. Everyone’s pissed because she took what was supposed to be a private conversation, twisted it into the worst possible…

Yes, I am right. Because that’s how it works. When you position yourself as a public social commentator, you invite conversation. You can turn down whoever you don’t want to engage, but you invite the approaches.

At a person of color, or just you know a person, YOU sound too sensitive. She asked a question of someone who had been vocal both about the issue at hand and the problem in general over the years. Why are you insisting on making it something it could be, but obviously isn’t.

So we’re arguing over cultural codes of communication...Got it. But not really because I don’t understand the issue you have with active conversation. She asked Margaret Cho-who has made a career of out of examining race, gender, identity and its interplay with popular culture-if she would be interested in having a…

She didn’t “summon a person of color to act as her sounding board”. She specifically asked Margaret Cho because Margaret was vocal about her negative opinions regarding the casting in Dr. Strange. This wasn’t a random person Swinton picked just because she was if asian descent and well-known.

I’m unsure why you’re so…

But it is obvious the guy will do any movie role for money.

They didn’t cast an Asian actor because then the character would read as the Tibetan from the comic books and then they wouldn’t make $400 million in China. It was a marketing choice. Tilda’s point may be a somewhat weak “better than nothing” argument but I don’t think it’s wholly worthless in the context of her point…
