Okay, I will be straight up honest: It should have. And the only reason is that I forgot. I failed to put it on one of my lists, and so it slipped through the cracks but frankly, I would have bumped something off this list if I had remembered (probably Searching? I dunno, it’s hard to pick).

I’m surprised Annihilation didn't make the list.

Thanks for the comment Mark. There definitely wasn’t an easy solution. And Schulz, to his credit, stood apart from his peers. He was the only one to give it a shot; Glickman reached out to many other cartoonists; only some of whom got back to her. And of those, Schulz was the only one to follow through and actually…

This seems to be a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation.

But the audience doesn’t even know they’re British until 2 years after they have already filmed the movie.

I think this exchange looks civil enough, even if it didn’t land. What I’ve found most difficult to impart when having a conversation like this, which Margaret Cho tried to, is to situate it in the context and understand that individual instances can have it’s reasons—here’s Dr. Strange, here’s a justified shooting by…

I’m Latino and gay... and couldn’t disagree more with your comment.

That person’s reasoning is nonsense. The director made a judgment call. The goal was to be diverse and avoid outdated stereotypes that are offensive today. So they had one character Asian, another black, and another made from male to female and of Celtic origin.

She has connections to a different culture, whatever. The point is Swinton made an honest and well-intentioned attempt to understand this issue and was not rude or offensive about it at all. And Cho shat on her publicly for no good reason.

Can I reply to this sentiment because I am honestly curious about this.

Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…

Its this kind of thing that really fucks up the left and progress in general. In this instance, Tilda had a constructive conversation with her peer about how to address an issue, and then Cho takes it and warps it and makes it ugly.

This may blow your mind, but we do have racism in England, too.
