One of our editors decided to leave her secret lair (not entirely unlike Richmond), where she feverishly murmurs of Oxford commas and dangling modifiers, to add her thoughts to the ongoing discussion of race in media, particularly addressing the response to Elyse’s post and the use of The Hunger Games casting as an example. You know, if you haven’t had enough of the discussion (which we hope you haven’t). 

Can I just say… I freaking love you guys for writing these articles?

Pretty much sums up my feelings about this whole thing. Couldn’t have said it better myself

Also, can I say that I’m a bit shocked at Collins with that whole “We can use makeup” thing. Wow…. wasn’t expecting that.

This is the follow up article to “Hollywood Whitewashing (Yes, It Really Hurts)”

READ AND REBLOG!!
