Well, the last one is a ‘shop job. Pretty funny, but remember, our republican counterparts are literal people. They might see that and start re-posting it on Facebook as the time Hilary made Donny Jr. shoot someone

Name anything good the trump family has done. And giving to ‘The Eric Trump Foundation’ in lieu of St. Jude’s (which she could have done) seems a sure fire way of getting ripped off. Don’t believe me? Take a look at papa trumps “foundation” that was shut down after it was used to pay off an ejected official for a…

Cho is not an activist, just a loud mouth media celebrity who chooses to spout off at whatever target she decides. First, I have to say all of this feels really dumb. The comic was written in the 60s when Americans didn’t even know about Buddhism. It was all drugs and psychedelia and the most superficial aspects of…

Befriend is not the word. Might have been a little passive aggressive though. You know Cho had been talking smack on Swinton for a while by that point, blaming Swinton personally for whitewashing this really stereotypical “ancient Chinese secret” type character. Cho is doing herself no favors by choosing THIS hill to…

Because Cho was publicly blaming Swinton for being racist and personally whitewashing a role for a stereotypical “Asian mystic” like character written in the ‘60s. Seriously, I don’t know why Cho has chosen THIS as her line in the sand. The original character was only missing the Mr. Miyagi “wipe on, wipe off”

Yeah fuck that bitch for correcting Cho when she said she could help Asian performers by creating a platform. Fuck her!!! Grrr grrr. Internet rage feels good

I hate that Cho is as loudmouth and as ignorant as she is. She is permently pissed off, everyone is racist/sexist/misogynist/homophobe/etc... usually for REALLY bullshit stuff. Like it’s always a god damned comic movie and not, like, underage sex trafficking

And why shouldn’t cho get to know Swinton? Wouldn’t it make cho’s case that much stronger if she could get Swinton at the table.

Yup. Sounds like cho... permanently in a rage over something

Sooo petty. Poor Maggie. She’s just GOT to have the last word...

Well, see, I didn’t even know about the email exchange when I wrote this, but I proves my point that much more. In this day of fake news and personalities like Cho who care only for self-aggrandizement, doesn’t it behoove us to put our thinking caps on for two seconds before rushing to jugement, getting all pissed off…

The Beverly hillbillies knew how to take care of each other. They were humble and innocent, even when they were accidentally pissing people off. Trump is more like a bank villain from a depression era comic book

Sure. But is the outrage machine something we really can afford to stoke at this point? Are we furthering the conversation by stating things hyperbolically? Or are we just get pissed off at pop cultural slights to entertain ourselves?

Fair point. Noted

That’s not what I’m saying or what I said. She’s ignorant and not aware of how we look at race in the United States. Holding her to our understanding of race is America is unfair. Let her know, or acknowledge her ignorance. The name calling is a little much. She’s been a strong advocate for LGBTQ issues. It’s a…

That’s a fair thing to say. You can tell the elections are still affecting me. Just. Can’t. with the name calling and the writing off of ‘deplorable’ especially for people who are simply ignorant

Simply calling or being called names (even if they fit) is a judgemental and un-nuanced way to reach people. There are a thousand better ways to approach an enlightening conversation that doesn’t start with a pronouncement on your character

Of course I do, but the vocabulary is different, the experience in the media, the experience of class is *vastly* different... you just can’t judge foreigners by American racial standards. We have different goals in the states too. Thousands of differences. Similarities too, but the American impulse to pass judgement…

Starred. We have to find a more nuanced way to talk about race/gender/identity that doesn’t immediately devolve into name-calling. I’m sure getting angry is awesome for a quick adrenaline rush, but it’s not conducive to *actually* trying to reach people

Honest, we’ve got to find a different way of judging people than writing them off when they say something ignorant
