I’ll probably get so much hell for what I’m about to say, but it needs to be said.
It’s kind of telling about this year’s Oscars that nobody’s really talking about the picture that one Best Picture (The Artist, a rare film shot entirely in Hollywood), but rather one of four things: Billy Crystal’s performance (old, schticky, and … seriously, BLACKFACE?), Meryl Streep’s Best...

I think more of the crit Chris Rock is getting is how he is making VO work as a joke/easy. Most VO artists don’t get a million~ to do it. NONETHELESS, I am appalled it’s getting more attention than the racism in this year’s Oscars w/Billy Crystal.
Yeah, either way this whole issue is headache inducing.

the worst part is that more people are getting on Chris Rock’s case for his spiel about animation than this. blatant racism in using blackface? oh its just a joke. joke about how minorities get screwed even in animation? GOING TOO FAR!
PRETTY MUCH.
Chris Rock was speaking truth no one wants to hear. *glares at the world*

Sorry it sucked when you watched it. My parents are so used to this shit, they’re not even upset.
That sucks too, in a way. I stopped watching awhile ago, when I noticed the lack of diversity in every awards show. Just….smh at this point.

Your shitting me O_O They… actually did that?
I shit you not.
It was a montage sequence from when Billy Crystal did a blackface character way back in the day.
Colorface is NEVER EVER EVER EVER okay. In ANY context. I was headdesking and facepalming all over the place.

Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled…
SMH.

4 Things the Jeremy Lin Story Reveals about Modern... →
Fortunately for now, most of America just sees Asian-Americans as cute little socially awkward entertainers or one possible exotic choice in sex partners. (The wise, inscrutable stereotype usually only goes to foreign-born Asians. It’s hard to sound wise with a California accent.)
I say “fortunately” because I guess I’d rather be patronized than worry about getting beaten, in the same sense...

Blackface at the Academy Awards.....
I just barely heard about this and I wished so wished, it was a joke.
Oh. Wait.
*headdesk*
It’s 20 fucking 12. How in the hell does this shit happen. As if whitewashing as the current mode of “colorface” isn’t bad enough, y’all have to bring back actual, fucking, racist, blackface. At the OSCARS.
I can’t even reblog this terribleness that’s on my...

CBS has cast Lucy Liu as Watson in Elementary.
Going through the elementary tag is like macing myself; blatant internalized misogyny and misplaced concern over the casting all over the place!
There are some valid concerns listed in this post (legitimate, well-reasoned concerns!) but the fact that a lot of people are immediately jumping over the ‘heterosexualization’ of the...

whooooooo Rick laying it DOWN. But I’m kinda feeling sympathetic to Shane. KINDA. But he’s still done terrible terrible things.
Ah, well at least the sister’s talking now and not comatose looking.
Ewwwww that knife zombie kill.
This is crazy intense. O_O No wonder they got swarmed later, Shane going off with the gun like that!
Awww shiet, the fight ensues!
