"That's purely a Rousey thing for them at this point; since they can't have Ronda, they are hoping they can catch lightning in a bottle and find their own, who is a legit talent while also being really photogenic"

Jessie and Cassie are both hotter than Eva, and don't move like reanimated corpses in the ring.

Melissa is working for LU in dark matches, last time I checked.

"the Alexa Bliss of it all, as she Sparkle Splashes the guys’ opponents to add insult to injury"

Just the worst promo of any main-eventer in a long time.

I'm going to say it.

Darren is Mr. No Days Off, of course he doesn't get blown up.

Bitching and complaining isn't distasteful, it's useless.

I don't see solutions being offered, I see people bitching and complaining. I have little interest in engaging in a circlejerk about the plight of minorities, I find sympathy more believable when it is attached to actual discussion and the ghost of action, not the parroting of truisms about discrimination.

I don't remember denying a problem, I just think that Affirmative Action through casting is the wrong way to solve it. You end up with these weird, pan-ethnic friend groups that feel artificial as hell. I'm glad minority actors can get work…but it's always as the main-characters best friend or the villain or the comic…

Who is saying Maori can play Colombians?

Boredom?

Yeah, cause there aren't any black actors cast ever. For 13% of the population of the United States, if anything they're the most represented minority.

Yeah, and I think the best way to do so is to make casting more color-blind, not less.

I think we need more minority roles in media, definitely. But that's a different thing than making sure everybody plays their "proper" race.

Everything is a social construct.

There's a bit of a difference between a hand injury and a neck/shoulder injury.

So…we're splitting things up by race. Which is a scientifically bogus distinction. I understand race doesn't exist, but I find the idea that it's white or not-white plays into the colonialist, racist structure of society.

What I think to be the case is the case.

Really? It's not that hard. The nose, hair, eyes, jawline. There are clues.
