Read the emails made a retraction however let me point something out to you. She never should have emailed Margaret in the first place. Stop asking people who are oppressed to explain their struggle and do your own research

Gentle counterpoint- She is not obligated to be the “Asian Ambassador” or to help Tilda Swinton figure out why this is problematic, if that is what she was even looking for, which sounds doubtful. It sounds like she wanted to be reassured by Margaret that everything was cool, and Margaret was not in the mood for

Her tone-deafness really is shocking to me in this day and age. Like, how hard to you have to work at it to be so clueless?

Well they moved the secret base of the ancient one from Tibet to Nepal so boom, right there the big problem with China is resolved.

I think it would have been more interesting to make Dr. Strange be not-white than Baron Mordo. A Latino or Middleastern actor for instance would not greatly change the look but would

I LOVE this!!

I have heard people discuss this. Basically, the film makers have used Chiwetel Ejiofor as an “alibi” to excuse their white washing of Asian characters. It’s pretty gross honestly. I love Chiwetel Ejiofor ESPECIALLY when he does sci-fi and dystopian movies. But the studioshouldn’t get brownie points for casting him.

They weirdly did the same exact same thing *with Chiwetel Ejiofor* in The Martian. The logic seems to be, if we make multiple source material Asian characters not Asian, and make most characters white but one non-main character Black, we aren’t racist! Hollywood needs to get it together.

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.

Remember when anyone is talking about how to help the poorest among us, they’re actually asking how to help West Virginia. It’s a 3rd world country inside the US.

I’m from the southern coal counties and come from generations of coal miners and I just don’t get the racism. The WV coal miner is the closest thing this country ever had to white slavery. We were also purposely kept poor, under-educated, and isolated to our hollers and coal towns. Jesus the government and coal barons

I hate to be *that* person, but this lady should not be so quick to judge others by their looks.

She stole money and they still took her back?!?

But it’s a snapshot of America. Rather than be introspective about why you’re one of the most miserable states, they become defensive, even proud of being that way and continue to choose leaders who they think are “one of us,” regardless of if they really are.

and she’s STILL posting racist bullshit on her facebook page!

Also, on top pf everything else she is apparently totally unqualified for her job:

Erm... the second line in my comment was a hypothetical scenario wherein I was complaining about a fictional “ hygiene Nazi” who was so politically correct as to complain about me shitting in my pants. Get it now?

Are you serious man? Did you read your original comment here? You’re straight up trying to silence a bunch of people who are calling him a racist. You’re simultaniously doing something and telling other people not to do exactly what you’re doing.

Kristen, the misogyny is even stronger than the racism, here. I bet his girlfriend barely likes him, is afraid of him, and his certainly his possession to protect. Not playing down the racism at all, of course. But his despicable attitude toward women is worth calling out.

You have to respect the guy though. Do you know how hard it is to be a small business owner in this day and age while also being a huge piece of shit?

“You guys do not know Chris on a personal level. He started his business with nothing. … The only concern here is the type of stuff he said and the type of person this makes him,”
