Ask Me   Artist Mae Lee | 24 | Asian American
Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Website

A struggling artist trying to make it. Sometimes I'll indulge in fandom amidst artwork postings and sketches. Actually most of the time. Also, I apparently have a lot of feelings about racism and sexism.

Current shows I'm watching are Nikita, Hawaii Five-O, The Walking Dead, Elementary, probably more to come as long as people of color are represented.

Anti white washing, anti white privilege, anti racism, anti sexism, anti all other isms...people just need to be decent people.

racebending: koreamjournal: ‘Cloud Atlas’ Slammed for Lack of Asian Actors, ‘Yellow Face’ Makeup By Advocacy GroupHollywood Reporter “In the modern age of movie make up, it is disturbing to see poorly done Asian eye prosthetics to make Caucasian men look Asian,” the Media Action Network for Asian Americans said. The problem with Cloud Atlas is not that the make up was “poorly done” or that in addition to eyelids the make up artists should have also changed the “facial structure and complexion,” to improve the quality of the yellowface.   Also wincing at the “would you have done this to black people?” question.
