Brandon Flowers is Mormon like Beck is a Scientologist: It doesn’t get in the way of the music or his fashion choices.

I thought it was because Brandon Flowers was sucking somebody with power’s dick.

I’m against everything Trump and the GOP stand for and always have been and always will be.

TL;DR: White people are scared as shit and it’s reflected in the mass pop culture.

In a context where a role is fundamental to a group’s identity and history, of course there will be identity politics not only with how they are represented in the medium, but with who represents them.

The thing is NoWires is not 100 percent wrong.

THANK YOU.

Oh, excuse me.

There was outcry all over the place, including on The Muse. I remember it because I was one of the ones writing, “Um, can you even name a Parsi actor?” to commenters calling Malek’s hiring a version of “whitewashing” and wondering why a Parsi wasn’t getting the role.

Did I say I would be the police of the film industry? No.

Yes, I’ve used the terms interchangeably and I really shouldn’t have.

It does mean policing and dictating.

I mean, really.  One can’t say “It doesn’t matter”, when we’re being told, to our face, “You’re not good enough to play your own ancestors.”

Because after you’ve had decades of white people play historical figures of African, Middle Eastern, Native American, etc. descent, you get a little tired and untrusting.

I’m sorry but, high profile actors you named aside, are you really telling me you believe that there were no well trained African American actors suitable to play African Americans?

For me, the thin edge of the wedge was when BOTH Dr. King Jr. AND Coretta Scott King, were given to Brits when the last biopic on his life was made a couple of years back. Then there was the movie about the Lovings. Where both parts were played by a Brit (the wife) and an Aussie (the husband).

You gave him a full day’s sport. Leave him to his nap, now.

She said “I will never be on stage LIKE THIS...”

Pumpkin beer is the Devil’s own urine.

Wow, you really showed them.
