Do people use condoms for a train in real life?

Even the Good Place couldn't afford the music rights for an authentic karaoke.

Yeah. A kid who over 7 years has been obsessed with basically all his female (step) relatives one time or another, who somehow gets the hottest girls possible in high school despite being whatever he is, who has a rich as it can be step father and a doting mother… oh how sympathetic.

The central story line probably has something to do with Noah Galvin's lashing out at Colton Haynes.

I meant the sexist anime/manga with "strong female heroines" that you were referring to. In my opinion/experience there are a lot of those, but I wouldn't say those are the mainstream. To be honest, I also know a lot less in this domain. But the live action stuff certainly have no problem with plenty of matriarchs.

And you just know she's gonna be around. I bet at some point before she was hired at least a dozen people told her: if he lost it wouldn't be your fault but if he won you would be the miracle worker and became the best strategist this nuked earth has ever seen.

A lot of them are incredibly perverted, no doubt, but I really wouldn't say they are the mainstream. But personally I think as a less diverse society in general, representation doesn't really help much with social progress or regress. Unlike a diverse society like the US, it can make more of an impact.

But a side effect of this is that: because everybody hates everybody undiscriminatorily, there really is less of an issue of the "implicit systematic bias" in the society (the racial ones at least). And that I think is one of the key differences when talking about bigotry or just general human suckiness in the US vs

It's actually another very interesting topic… The hostility against black people in Asia has been rising over the years. And a major reason for that is the Hollywood movies that we get exposed to….

It's a good way to put it I think. I used to point out to my friends that we Asians hate people from another school, street, village, side of the mountain/river, part of the country, or even someone with a weird last name. Discrimination in Asia is very hard to argue in the context of Americanized social commentary.

For some context, I recommend the Ali Wong Netflix special for anyone who's interested.

I personally think it was a minority, but I also believe these would be a true sentiment at the time. The context I can provide though, is that it's most likely less about "race" in that case, but more about the general animosity between the two countries for obvious historical reasons. And that animosity got amped up

In America yes. I can't stand any of his films since Hero.

Oh that's totally valid. I didn't say discrimination didn't exist - it's rampant. But usually it's not the same as the kind of "racial discrimination" we see in America. And one of my half-serious reasoning is that: we DO hate everyone (who's not us) for all kinds of reasons. I do want to point out that in China at

Oh yeah the movie is totally gonna be terrible, no doubt about it.

It's because a movie with an international star as the lead excites Chinese audience too, and sells the movie even better to the "international audience" (in this case American audience). It's not that different from The Bourne movies featuring him on the poster. There is really no more implications beyond face

A few notes on Eastern Asian countries and diversity.

And Bonnie was also feeling oh-so-guilty because she never killed Rebecca. This was just messed up.

Or me.

Man this show has been such a delight! Light hearted and enjoyable with wonderful character works and intriguing plots all while beaming with positivity, that's what a sitcom should be!
