This in particular: “But the decision to alter the storyline with Peeta’s leg really troubles me because of what it symbolises. Peeta becomes a prominently disabled character in the series, and his disability becomes part of his experiences. At the same time though, he’s not defined by the disability, consumed by it, and placed in...

Yes, Marie Antoinette did little to help the average French person. Te reason I don’t have serious issues with her for this is because she was never groomed to be a statesman. She was one of I think twelve children of the empress of Austria. Her training was that of a noblewoman: how to curtesy, and address different ranks. It was only after her betrothal to the dauphin...

We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the…

“Cops have never been racist. They enforce all laws equally”
Yo, I know you think you’ve thought this through, but if you keep saying shit this stupid, I’m going to have to put you in the Part Of The Problem column.
When POC characters are turned white: this isin't about race, if you think it is then you're the racist one, lets just enjoy the book/film as it is, this is about the character's personality god you're so sensitive, the new skin tone actually fits the character's personality IMO, I never imagined them as POC anyway, not all whitewashing is racist god get over it!!111
When white characters are turned into POC: omg how could they!?!?!? this is soooo racist and unfair! why cant they present that white character as WHITE, how dare they change the original skin color to suit their own terms! this is reverse racism!! this is about race! I NEVER imaged that white character to be a POC that is so weird, it doesn't fit, this is political correctness gone crazy!!
