askchangelgrace-deactivated2012 asked: -but asking for black characters in movies because it's "right" invalidates the work, and it invalidates the actor cast. One of my favorite characters on Star Trek is Tuvok, because the character is brilliantly played. I didn't think "Oh, check out that black Vulcan, cool" I thought "Damn. He's badass." That's the goal you should have casting...
askchangelgrace-deactivated2012 asked: Awesome. Heimdal was pretty well developed, he was a good character because he was part of the movie. Hogun, the asian character in the warriors three, was also a good character, because he fit into the plot. Hell, the black security guard fit! That's what made Thor a great movie, everything fit together; nothing was put in without a reason. When you try to put PoC into a movie, just for the...

Now you all know why that post about Brave was annoying me so much. Well, aside from the fact that it takes real people’s feelings so flippantly.

How Colorblind Ideologies Lead to Racism
Whip this succinct compilation of studies out whenever your friends say things like—
“I don’t see color!”
“Why do we have to talk about race!”
“I’m not a racist but….”
“But Black/Yellow/Redface isn’t THAT horrible”
“Race is a social construct.”

This is how the description of the video sounds....
twiborg:
A man wearing bunny ears is driving a tractor rather quickly. He is pursued by two well-built, seemingly-gay, Germanic men wearing tight white undergarments, one of whom is, in fact, holding two wheels and is acting as a motorcycle for the other. As the man-bike passes the tractor, the tractor driver turns his tractor into a bipedal, rollerskating transformer, dropping a small...

Mehreen Kasana here.
Looks like I’m in charge for tonight. Sometimes ignorance can really get to our heads especially when some folks on Tumblr assume Muslim women need the “most saving” because their religion is the “most sexist.” It’s amazing how - and this isn’t just a Tumblr phenomenon - many people on this micro-blogging forum have yet to read the...
