"it's not based on real life" is a hilarious way to justify casting a white man as the ethnic protag and an ethnic man as part of the white aristocracy. it's the endgame of neoliberalism; they'll let you take a side role but NEVER the star even when it's your textual right lol
The casting director for Emerald Fennell’s ‘WUTHERING HEIGHTS’ says “there’s definitely going to be some English Lit fans that are not going to be happy” “There was one Instagram comment that said the casting director should be shot. But just wait till you see it, and then you can decide whether you want to shoot me or not. But you really don’t need to be accurate. It’s just a book. That is not based on real life. It’s all art.” (Source: Deadline)

on twitter, they fucking kill you if you say racism is bad
Hi all. I’ve taken a bit of time away from social media to reflect, but I see the conversation is ongoing. What I think is important is that we all show each other respect online. If you’re defending me by being disrespectful or racist then I would rather you didn’t. I’m horrified that a tweet about the importance of solidarity has somehow stoked tension. I am not a person of colour and understand the view that I am not entitled to mediate relations between two groups to whom I do not belong. I won’t try to moving forwards. At the same time, anti-Indian and anti-Black sentiments are running absolutely riot on this platform and I think we need to pay attention to it. Perhaps it wasn’t my place to call it out this time, but I hope others will feel emboldened to within their communities if they haven’t done so before. I always intend to respond in good faith, but I do sometimes make mistakes that make it easy for people to assume otherwise. I should have initially been more open to the interpretation that the creator’s video was an anti-Black micro aggression. I still feel that her intent is ambiguous. Some might disagree. I try to see the best in people. I am quite often called naive because of this. I appreciate that intent is not entirely relevant here also, as things can be racist regardless of intent. I tried to open up a conversation about this and I’m grateful to those who took the time to offer their thoughts. I decided to delete the thread because I saw a couple of QTs saying that people were using it as a reason to berate Black women and I had a responsibility to prevent this by deleting my tweets. As someone who has worked on the olfactory dimensions of misogynoir, it was galling to think that I could be inadvertently contributing to it. In hindsight, it feels inevitable that the post would draw that kind of ire. This is not an ideal platform for having nuanced conversations, but I do feel that I overstepped here. Being given a platform suddenly on an unfamiliar site is a challenging thing to navigate. I will inevitably get it wrong sometimes, but please know that I learn from my mistakes and am well-intentioned.

this is the perfect microcosm of what being asian is like, just being instantly infantilized when we step out of our model race image that other people have of us
Why do I, as a Japanese person, enjoy creating Black characters? To put it simply, I started creating Black characters because a Black fan once said to me, 'Thank you for creating Black characters beautifully. It's a simple reason, but those words really made me happy. A foreign fan told me, "Japanese anime art and entertainment are racially discriminatory". As a Japanese illustrator, I had never heard such an opinion from Japanese people. This perspective was new to me. If Japanese anime art and entertainment are perceived as racially discriminatory from an international perspective, then we as Japanese must face this issue. Unfortunately, I have heard some Japanese people say, "If foreigners don't like it, they shouldn't watch Japanese entertainment. It's made for Japanese people". This is a foolish thought. No matter how much they claim that Japanese entertainment is "just for Japan," the Internet has erased borders. Japanese art and entertainment are no longer just for Japanese consumers. Can we go against the tide of this era? No, it's impossible. Some understanding Japanese have said to me, appreciating my efforts to create ethnic diversity and racial differences, "If you continue to draw Black characters, maybe one day Japanese people will deepen their understanding of diverse racial representation and your work will be properly recognized. I would be happy if one day I could draw beautiful Black characters in my work for Japanese clients and for foreign fans.
