botany posted:Is there a list or a blog or whatever out there that collects all the instances of racist casting decisions in Hollywood movies? From blackface / yellowface to whitewashing, i.e. let's cast Tom Cruise as the last samurai also all our Egyptians are now played by British men. I realize this isn't really a question specific to the black experience in the US but I figured this would be the best place to ask. There is (or was), but I can't find it. They had a massive (justified) hatred of 21.

You know it was him because much like how Stein tells Jax to "use his natural athleticism", (except without the hint of irony) it involves the white characters telling Jon Stewart he's "one of the good ones" or something like that Yeah, one of the fictional silver age heroes tells Stewart he's "a credit to his race."

Has there been any change at all (that you can already perceive) in social interactions between whites and minorities? Well, I wouldn't call this low key, but my supervisor's temple has had a massive increase of bomb threats being called in since November 9th.

Fluffdaddy posted:Questioning why some young POC take jobs in institutions like that is the thing bougie rear end white folks do to try to create some kind of liberal purity test, because their privilege has allowed them to live a relative life of comfort. This, and it's not even limited to liberals. White people tend to buy hard into the idea that the world is a meritocracy, that hard work is always rewarded, the right person is always rewarded, the cops only arrest criminals. Because if that's the way things are, privilege can't exist.
