Hey, here's a favorite topic of mine, Racism.
The Media Action Network for Asian Americans is irritated because the father character of Lucy Liu in the new Charlie's Angels movie is white when "clearly she is not."
"Lucy Liu is clearly Asian, predominately Asian at the very least, but she is definitely not half," MANAA says. "To now imply that she’s half Asian belittles the pleasure and relief Asian Americans and fair-minded audiences had when they saw an Asian woman standing up for justice and overcoming great obstacles."
MANAA claims to have gotten an early copy of the movie script in which Liu’s father was Chinese and her mother Jewish. They apparently liked this mix, praising it as a "very unique bi-racial couple that is rarely seen in film," but took offense at the final version in which John Cleese play’s Liu’s father and a voiceless extra plays her Chinese mother.
And, while we're on the subjet of Racism, let me combine that topic with the recent commotion on Re-Education Camps. Click here and you'll see an article I find amusing and scary at the same time.
