I DON'T NEED WHITE HEROES.

inkstone: Silver Phoenix is getting a new cover . . . Whitewashing at its finest, folks. Signal boost the FUCK out of this, vote with your money, and do whatever else you can.

bossymarmalade : but we must always be polite about it This is another reason why stories matter.

megwrites: Attack of the Whitewashing Strikes Back Again! More on Silver Phoenix and whitewashing.

Roger Ebert's review of TLA Fairly interesting even if you are sick of hearing about the whole thing (which I am not, yet). He takes a good section or two to discuss the racist implications.

The almost-full (missing his last album) discography of Nujabes, aka the Samurai Champloo composer. I'm not usually a fan of hip-hop, but he did some great stuff.

ugh yeah, I saw that stuff about Silver Phoenix. I'm actually reading it right now. I think the original cover is so much more gorgeous than the new ones--the new ones make it seem like it's urban fantasy or something, which it is patently NOT. I have to say, so far I am not very into the book--the writing has failed to draw me into the story... but seriously, the old cover was SO PRETTY. This book-cover whitewashing is ridiculous. =_______=

LOLOLOL the Last Airbender, oh, I am so sorry that the series got turned into such a crappy movie, but it's getting horrible reviews and bwahaha I have no pity for M. Night Shyamalan, I have read what he's said in interviews and was terrifically unimpressed by his inability to get the point.
