elon musk is on twitter spreading conspiracy theories that Jewish people advocate hatred towards white people and several white supremacist forums are celebrating.
ok sooo... basically that's called going full nazi (as if he wasn't before).
like yeah that level of antisemitism is legit going to get people killed. also I know I said this on another blog but here's the link
and in it I'm like really trying to get through to the white anon to become anti racist and teach their racist white friends to unpack their antiblackness/misogynoir/racism. like yeah I've had these blogs for years and it seems that most white people who have noticed that their friends and family are racist just throw their hands up and go oh well I guess I have to cut them off now.
Like no that's not the solution. to be an ally with PoC you've got to confront the racists in your life. that includes going to thanksgiving dinner armed with facts about how elon musk is a nazi.

rudy’s character in the movie is literally a conspiracy theorist who’s constantly worried about government bug, him saying batman is a facist is clearly just an in character joke, a thing that he would say because of his beliefs. why do people take this as some message from the filmmakers??? just watch the movie to see the context
because you know how whites like to act like they've experienced like a crime when all they've been is exposed to someone not liking their white fave. you see it in fandom ALL THE TIME.

Am I the only one to be angry about how a white guy always robbed Michael Burnham's story or any potential WOC/BW's command in Star Trek Discovery ? In season 2, they spend so many time on captain Pike, I don't hate the character but the writers were showing their true color. And now Captain Pike has his own spin off with an all white cast (at last for the 3 main characters)
I gotta be honest I haven’t finished the first season but I kinda wanted to do a podcast for it.  Like knowing this is a good heads up so I can talk about it on the podcast.

Ok I’m Jewish and the whole ashkenazi Jewish people being people of color just because they are Jewish is just not a thing like no unless you are also middle eastern you are not considered any percentage ME that whole idea doesn’t take into consideration of ethnic diversity in the Jewish community and there being actual Jewish PoC who experience racism in the Jewish community and especially xenophobia and racism in Israel. Yes even white Jewish people are conditionally white but they at the end of the day are still white. And while yes Israel has a requirement for service technically that service does not have to be in the military and also plenty of Israelis have made the decision to refuse it is an option and I know it is not an easy choice because there are punishments given for refusing “community service” at all. And she has every right to be criticized for her continuing support of the Israeli government, spreading misinformation of Palestine and other questionable action of hers. And while yeah how some goyim talk about her is a problem and needs to stop that doesn’t take away that some people especially those impacted by her actions have every right to be angry even Jewish people who are effected by her actions. Also like I don’t think it’s a one or the other situation with her and driver you can criticize both. Also the whole reason why the debate of her race is even happening is because she was casted as Cleopatra in a period drama and imo even if she was considered a WoC that still doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be considered right for the part given the history of white washing Egyptian history hiring an actress who if even considered a WoC is exceptionally white passing and is not the race of cleopatra and imo Egyptians have the right to be outraged with her portraying one of there historical figures when so many of them have first hand experienced oppression at the hands of the IDF none of which she denounced.
the only thing I want to add to this is that its just become glaringly obvious to me through these blogs and from a long time in the star wars fandom people call adam driver a patriot and gal gadot is somehow a baby killer. and no I��m not making that up I’ve literally seen our anons say that.
but thank you for this!

do you wonder why the hunger games prequel is doing better than the marvels?
no I don't wonder why the ballad of songbirds and snakes is doing better than the marvels. its got a white boy villain (coriolanus snow) as the protagonist and a dark skinned black woman (dr volumnia gaul) as one of the antagonists. also rachel zegler's character (lucy gray baird) literally falls for the white boy villain and ends up dying because of him.
compare that with the marvels where you've got a team made of 3 superheroines one's Black, one's Desi and they literally save several planets (arguably reality as we know it). of course white ppl are gonna focus on the white boy villain movie.

i saw a tweet earlier today regarding barbie and oppenheimer and I realized how I haven't seen a lot of people talking about the potential anti-asian racism and whitewashing in the oppenheimer movie considering that it's a biopic set during world war 2 (tbf, I haven't gone through the oppenheimer tags on tumblr and twitter). I just know that those parts are gonna be overlooked due to being a Christopher Nolan movie
ok just for context i'm gonna paste the trailer for oppenheimer here
youtube
So I haven't talked about the inherent racism of making a tragic hero out of Oppenheimer on here but I want to clarify I'm not Asian and I'm not Japanese and I would like those voices prioritized here.
If you don't know much about Christopher Nolan besides yay batman movies... you gotta know a few things about him. Even in his batman trilogy he whitewashed nonwhite characters. Notably Ras Al Ghul, Talia Al Ghul and Bane. i'm not going to delve into how his movies besides tenet predominantly featured white casts. but just take that as a fact. Tenet was an exception not the general rule of his filmography.
Moving on for those that don't know about Oppenheimer I'm gonna refer you to a few wiki articles
First Oppenheimer
and now his legacy the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Even though I'm referring you largely to wikipedia articles you gotta understand followers that the casualty numbers are wrong on article
Tumblr media
mainly the bottom number of 129,000-226,000 killed.
Like that may not seem like much heck its not even the population of San Francisco. But you gotta understand that these numbers are wrong for the plain and simple fact that Japanese people around Hiroshima and Nagasaki also were affected with radiation and like chernobyl some died quick deaths and others died slow deaths. So you can't really put a number to that sort of devastation.
There's this narrative in the USA that in WWII we did everything possible to stop the nazis. But instead of focusing on the devastation of the bombings we're focusing on a tragic white man who from the beginning understood what this bomb would do??? Like yes he was haunted there's even this
Tumblr media
So like we have this narrative of a tragic antihero that saved us from war with the axis but then was haunted by what it had cost him. And what I can't understand is why we revere him so much. This is as much a movie about USAmerican ingenuity as it is about how poor widdle Oppenheimer created the most powerful weapons in history and was haunted by it.
I haven't seen it but its very telling that Nolan didn't choose to depict the horror of the bombings and instead the single tragic man that choose to create them.
honestly its sickening. because now Cillian is gonna get nominated for his role as Oppenheimer, they're going to shove it down our throats that old USAmerican propaganda that we needed to bomb the Japanese to stop the war even tho nazis were defeated already. the Japanese were still fighting but we had them out manned and out gunned.
Tumblr media
Don't let anyone tell you that this movie isn't propaganda.

hope one day the internet understands that two things can be true at the same time and that it is possible for a group to be a minority, suffer prejudice and at the same time oppress another minority group. For example, we need to talk openly about homophobia, about the discrimination that lgbt+ people faces and at same time talk openly about antiblackness that exist in lgbt+ spaces and any other minority group. how black lgbt+ are treated in the lgbt+ spaces etc
just to keep going with your example anti blackness is so baked into latin america that even brown latines are racist to afro latinos.
a really good example is lin manuel miranda a brown latino whitewashing the story of washington heights and what was supposed to be a story of the dominican americans (the majority of which are afro latines) and cast almost exclusively light skinned latines for the movie version of the musical.
(and as a reminder he turned the slave owning founding fathers into a musical and made them rap and cut out the contributions of Brown and Black Americans in the founding of the USA).

when the live action last airbender series comes out, I want the main cast to get the same kind of attention and opportunities for more roles as the stranger things cast got, you know what I mean? I'm still bitter about that to all the boys post where Noah is getting more blockbuster roles than Lana, despite her being the main lead of the trilogy cause of obvious reasons that Noah is white
I totally know what you mean!!! I do have hope tho??? (mostly because percy jackson is currently trending and people seem to be loving the show despite the misogynoir that Leah got for being cast as Annabeth). I think the true test will come when the pj show cast moves on from the show in a few years. If Leah goes on to have a career equal to Walker's I have hope for the atla cast too.
but also anti blackness is strong so we really gotta stan Leah as Annabeth rn from day 1!!!

I’m soooooooo tired of Awkwafina I hate how she’s become the default “Asian girl” and I hate seeing her in everything. Apparently she was going to be the daughter in Everything Everywhere All At Once?? Would’ve turned a 10/10 to a dead on arrival. There’s so many great Asian actors why do we keep reusing this one?
As someone who personally thinks that Awkwafina can be a good actor sometimes (The Farewell is a favourite of mine), I completely understand your dislike of her and it's valid. I've found her lack of willingness to own up to her antiblackness and apologize utterly frustrating especially when she's made her career of appropriating AAVE and having a blaccent for comedy 🙄🙄 It is not a coincidence that when she started becoming a "serious" actress, she dropped the blaccent entirely, which tracks in a history of what tends to happen with nonblack artists who appropriate Black culture in their careers. [Side-eyes Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande and Gwen Stefani, etc]
And yes, I think you have also hit a good point of Hollywood reusing Awkwafina despite the abundance of other great Asian actors in the industry. Although, I do not think this is unique to Awkwafina actually, I think that Hollywood has a tendency to reuse bipoc actors once they've made bank and become critical darlings, Dev Patel comes to mind as being the go-to guy for a while in the late 2000s- early 2010s whenever a Hollywood or a British production wants to cast an Indian male character. I've been pondering on this for a while and I theorized that it's because Hollywood still is a very exclusive club for White pple, which means that they are still very reluctant to open the doors to allow entry for more bipoc actors to join the club. Hence, the reusing of the same bipoc actors.

I was rewatching the 2003 Haunted Mansion movie and it’s actually not that bad. Eddie Murphy’s character isn’t a deadbeat dad, he truly loves his family- he just happens to get distracted by his work.
I actually have a really great youtube video that talks about that!

Its not that I don't want to talk about it today I just figure you're better off talking to the Amity Elf herself over at her blog!!! @theamityelf

Al Jazeera English has videos about West Papua situation, its called "Selling Out West Papua | 101 East" and "Indonesia to deploy more troops to troubled Papua region". There they explain that Indonesian soldiers monitor and attack indigenous people and allow the deforestation of the lands selling it to several South Korean companies. West Papua is the land of indigenous black people, anti-blackness is huge in south Asia too. I saw Indonesians speaking about Papuans like they are wild animals😭
here's the first video
and here's the closest I could find to the second one
thanks for giving me the heads up I'll try to keep a closer eye on al jazeera.
