And it starts with the upcoming liveaction movie of Bleach by WB. (See link for comments of white people saying they don't care about Asian actors because Bleach is not that Japanese anyway.)

Seriously, white people. Seriously. The day you understand that race relations aren't something relative... it will be... for fucks sake, it will never come.

ETA: Okay, I will word it better. White people? Go fuck yourself. Hard. This show doesn't need Asian actors? What. Nothing distinctive? I mean, what about the fact that IT'S A JAPANESE SHOW AND WHITE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATING EVERYTHING NOT WHITE SINCE THEY STARTED COLONIZING COUNTRIES CENTURIES AGO, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES.

Daughter of ETA 1: Also, notice how white westerns are there to define what is or isn't Japanese/Asian/POC. Most of them who only have been exposed to those cultures by media. Ah, white privilege.

That's all. I'm also working for the winner of my [livejournal.com profile] help_chile's bid. So will be kinda busy.

Spoilers for Reborn 283:

Amazing [personal profile] sparkymonster makes the post that will saves us a lot of trouble from stupid people:

A lesson in good vs. bad irony thanks to Amanda Palmer. (Very triggering about racist violence and pictures of bodies.)

Not that big fan of Gaga here, but seriously, Palmer. You, white lady, don't know what you are saying. (And the same goes to the rest of white ladies and gentlemen who, undoubtedly, will come out saying things like "it's not that offensive, you are not reading her right!")

[personal profile] hotcoffeems sums it up on this comment:

Here is the only thing I personally can conclude about why she thinks this is on ANY level O.K.: the KKK and the endemic and brutal evil that it is symptomatic of really means nothing to her except as an abstract. To her, it means little more than another possible tool in the box to use to promote herself as an "artist." There is NO WAY anyone could say such a thing, especially on the heels of that steaming Evelyn Evelyn mess, then follow it up with the "teehee, for those upset about the Klan reference..." Twitter and actually and genuinely comprehend that what the KKK is and represents is a profound evil in the world.


I'm so pissed that I'm reacting pretty badly to other and non-related online arguments I'm having right now. Yeah, avoid me.
