Gonna quickly throw in an epic quote I found on this article.

KJKJ: Gene Roddenberry, with balls of brass, got up on national tv and said, “hey people, if a geneticist took all the best DNA from planet Earth and put it together to make the best human the world has ever seen - he wouldn’t be a white guy.”

This is why I find the casting of a white actor in this role to be so repugnant. They are not whitewashing an Asian role, they are saying that the best genetic material that the entirety of this world and it’s diversity has to offer….still comes from a white guy.

Reblogging again for that

Omg yes

Basically.

On the flip side, if a geneticist took all the best DNA from all the most FAMOUS people on Planet Earth… that might be a white guy.

And lbr here, Hollywood thinks those are the same thing. Which makes it not one whit less racist.

You’re assuming the white folk don’t keep obliterating the other folk.

I mean, obviously some other race people stick around, you have the chick and the other guy, etc. But what if Star Trek is implying another racial genocide?

Just saying.

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals in their shelters.

It takes less than a minute (only about 15 seconds actually) to go to their site and click on the purple box titled, ‘Click Here to Give - it’s FREE!’. Every click gives about .6 bowls of food to sheltered dogs. You can also click daily!

Keep in mind that this does not cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. [via.]

Go to the website here.

doesn’t cost you a cent, just a click.
