Crazy Rich Asians Director Responds to Brenda Song's Claims She Was "Not Asian Enough" to AuditionCall me crazy, but I think poor Brenda Song is trying to stir the "discrimination" pot. She tried to get her agent to sign for Crazy Rich Asians because she was a fan of the book, but the fact of the matter is---Jon Chu knew who she was, but decided not to use her. Was it because she wasn't "Asian" enough? Would that be someone like Awkwafina is more Asian than she is? Or perhaps Henry Golding, who is HALF ASIAN? Absolutely not. I think people tend to overthink things in the climate we're living in. In this case, she was overracting in a gross and irresponsible way. The truth is, in all likelihood, was that Jon Chu couldn't find a role worthy of her talents. This happens to EVERY actor and actress in Hollywood that try to audition for a part. Pulling the Go To race card when you don't get your way. Yep, seems about right. I hate [current year].

Please don't take offense, kungfubunny9876, but this is almost exclusively an Asian-American problem. As in Americans of Asian descent. only people who grew up with the example that African-Americans provided seem interested in pulling a race card to get their way. Asian immigrants, as a generalization, appear to be far more dedicated to hard work to achieve and accepting of passive-racism.

Please don't take offense, kungfubunny9876 , but this is almost exclusively an Asian-American problem. As in Americans of Asian descent. only people who grew up with the example that African-Americans provided seem interested in pulling a race card to get their way. Asian immigrants, as a generalization, appear to be far more dedicated to hard work to achieve and accepting of passive-racism. Oh, no offense taken! I agree. I just think she was overreacting a bit. It certainly is the culture for Asians to be hard working and, dare I say, overachieving. It is important to remember though, that, just because you don't fit a certain criteria doesn't make you any less who you are---you alone define your identity. So, that being said, I'm glad that Brenda Song realized that in the end, but I think she almost crossed the race card----I understand how she feels to a degree, but I just thought how she worded it was inappropriate.

Why Elsa from Frozen is a queer icon — and why Disney won’t embrace that idea When the author answers their own dumb question they posed in the headline: “Canonically, Elsa of Arendelle, who sits upon the tiny northern kingdom’s throne at the end of Frozen, is not queer. Canonically, she is not romantically interested in anybody. And lest you wonder if that description means Elsa is asexual or aromantic, neither of those qualities is canon either. Canonically, she’s nothing when it comes to her sexuality. Why is anyone having attempting to start this unnecessary and unwanted conversation?

This is the problem the ABCDs are having with existence right now; they just cannot accept that their proclivities do NOT make them special. They want, so hard, for us to ALL be impressed: "Oh, you're a vegan and a fag? Wow! Can I touch you?" But equality means being just like everybody else. It means you don't lose a job over wanting to smash nuts with Devin, provided you do that shit on your own time. It is NOT a license to show up at the office in pink leopard print, with a feather boa and assless chaps, and suck on dick-shaped lollipops all day exclaiming "OMG STAHP OPPRESSING ME!" Of COURSE Else is canonically nothing in terms of sexuality... she's a CARTOON heroine designed for CHILDREN who do NOT need to be thinking about sexuality in any stripe at that age! As covered before, there's about twice as much homo representation in TV and movies as there is in real life, so ...

The people advocating it same people who write these articles

[/quote] It amused the shit out of me. Here's a new Frozen, Elsa doesn't have a girlfriend, and she turns the femininity up to 11 by letting her hair down, prompting the embarrassed stiffening of thousands of dad-crotches everywhere. And they fucking hate it.
