Yeah, so what? She was a eugenicist who believed the poor and non-wasp immigrants shouldn’t breed. Many people, including Black leaders, worked with her people because they needed the service, and didn’t give a shit what Sanger and her ilk thought of them. It is still an incorrect statement to say that PP was started…

Isn’t it pretty well-known that Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist, and that implementing her beliefs was definitely part of her motivation to start PP?

In the original Arabic the meaning of this particular passage is unchanged however, so your post is irrelevant.

Scripture has no tense. It is forever and always. That is what makes any scripture from any religion so dangerous.

Yes but to many conservative Muslims, the Quran is the word of God. Period. There can be no debate about interpretation or context because God is infinite and perfect, therefore the Quran is perfect. Moderate Muslim reformers have a hard time even hinting at new interpretations of the Quran, and only mildly better…

The film was made in China by Chinese.

Iron Fist was originally created to capitalize on the Kung-Fu craze of the 1970s. Instead of creating a Chinese protagonist to tell a story that’s steeped in Chinese culture, they made him white because they thought a white protagonist would be easier to connect with for their readers. That’s pretty much a textbook…

Oh, he was white in the original. But he’s from that era where all the super heroes where white men just because. It just would have been a great update to actually change the character to Asian-American even if the magical kung fu powers still seemed a bit cliche.

I instantly found the Drunken Master more likeable and I have to say it was very, very bold to give him the line “Do you think you’re better than me?”

Agreed. He is unbearably bad.

Apparently not. Hahah, my point however is that the guys *sucks* at stage fighting. Fucking terrible.

An easy way to fix Iron Fist would be for Danny Rand to be half-Asian, with a Chinese-American father and a white mother. That not only gives you a fully American Danny Rand (who, despite being Asian, isn’t innately born knowing Kung Fu), but also bucks Hollywood’s propensity to show Asian men as being undesirable to…

Yup. Honestly, even setting aside the issue of cultural appropriation (which IS a big issue, and should be front and center here), just from a story perspective- I think it would’ve made Danny Rand a legitimately more interesting character to have him be Asian! I think they could’ve used that to underscore how he…

The biggest crime after the change of ethnicity, is Finns lack of martial arts prowess.

It sucked. But there are not only countless succesful male comedians out there doing similar caliber stuff but many of them have been vocally anti-trump, pro-gun legislation, etc. Those dudes don’t get this.

Yeah, me too. I like Amy. I like her show, loved her movie. But when I watch a stand up show and realize like 10 minutes in that I haven’t laughed once, I’m gonna stop watching. I just didn’t find it funny.

Yeah, it really wasn’t funny.

Female comics to check out thread right here!

I like Iliza Shlesinger, Ali Wong, Kathleen Madigan, classic Wanda Sykes (Sick and Tired), and, yes, Amy Schumer.

I tried watching this but tapped out at like, 4 minutes in when she started saying something about waking up to someone eating her puss in college. Nope.
