Totally agree. The fact that Swinton also goes in to explain a project in length that she’s doing to give Asians a platform in Hollywood also strikes me as her trying to say “look I’m doing good things! I’m a good person!” And it is a good thing! But you still have to own your mistakes and not just ask for credit when…

Sorry, I’m not sure why I’m so upset about the consistent practice of cultural appropriation and whitewashing in Hollywood. It’s no big deal.

This whole topic is easily researchable without reaching out to anyone and especially without asking the person you call to keep the conversation personal.

Yeah, cuz there’s just so many roles for Asian actors, let’s just change them all so the white actors can have their share.

go season some food

Hasn’t cho already explained it though? Why should she explain it again in a personal email if her critiques are so widely known/easily researchable? That’s the part that doesn’t make sense and doesn’t sit well with me.

Margaret Cho has always been someone who lies for attention. She’s like if Marc Maron were a woman. It’s too bad because she is incredibly talented.

It’s not up to Margaret Cho to alleviate Tilda Swinton’s white guilt. It’s not her job. She is not Representative Asian #4. If Swinton had mixed feelings, she has the money to avoid the role and choose something else. Once she chose to move forward and do the role, then who is benefiting from those guilt feelings,…

Two months before his breakdown, Kardashian West, 36, was robbed at gunpoint in Paris and had millions of dollars worth of jewelry stolen from her. This incident is “what set off” West’s breakdown, says the West friend. “He was teetering on the edge and broke down.”

You’re pretty much the only one throwing around the word racism. People are disappointed that she called a random Asian woman and wanted her to stop the rest of us Asians from being mad at her. That’s tone deaf to say the least. Nobody’s accusing her of being racist.

Sorry, but I think you only owe respect to people who are being respectful and considerate. No Asian, no person, is anyone’s token anything.

Lol I always thought the only thing ethereal about her was how paper-white she is.

Counterpoint: Marvel knew that Doctor Strange was going to make a bazillion dollars whether they cast an Asian actor or Tilda Swinton in the role. They may be one of the few movie studios that doesn’t have to use that bullshit economic excuse to justify whitewashing a cast because their cult following and mass appeal…

“Bitch, I can’t tell them...I don’t have a yellow phone under a cake dome.”

Ugh. Tilda Swinton is a lovely alien. I lovely white alien that doesn’t understand racism. I’m glad Cho is telling people about this. This is how white people think. Even white people who seem super ethereal and enlightened.

This does not surprise me in the slightest. There are just certain people who you can tell are like that and Swinton definitely has those vibes. It’s like when Taylor Swift touched the weekends hair, or when Tina Fey had trouble naming  latinos in show business, or when Sherlock Holmes (aka animorphs face) used the…

Sounds like we need a “Would U?” here.

Yeah. I mean, I can’t blame her, given the number of times I sucked Osama Bin Laden’s cock instead of killing him.
