That is what you quoted idiot.

Why specifically is the love interest always white? White partners are oftentimes the ultimate signifiers of successful assimilation for THEMSELVES AND THEIR ETHNIC CIRCLE. This is not about you white people. Here is John Cho on that:


Kumail himself calls himself in a way:


But please continue to tell me what conversations can and cannot be had when we talk about race on screen. 1991 was the last time a notable film featured a South Asian NOT coupled with a white woman. Aren't we trying to get away from perpetuating the ideal of white beauty?

To take a different tack here, it's a little weird that the conversation here is all about what the man chooses, as if the women involved are interchangeable objects whose purpose is to signal a man's political position. Obviously this is being critiqued as well, but the critique isn't really escapung that aspect of the problem.

Also, as a white guy the only recent-ish notable romance featuring anyone from the general area of SE Asia I can recall recently was Slumdog Millionaire :shrug: There's a bit of a limited sample size in general, and non-white men with white women is notable for being the only relationship barrier that was previously not only violently enforced, but used to justify preemptive violence and imperialism.

It seems to remind me of contemporary christian media.

There's probably quite a few pieces of media inspired by one's faith and some of the themes associated with it (Forgiveness, Charity, Pacifism), but the stuff that I hear on Christian radio often feels hamfisted, fake, etc.

in this case the problem is just that they're the same people who have successfully made western comics a niche hobby for ~20-40 year old men whose cultural impact comes largely from licensing old properties to artists in other mediums

i mean, if interpreted as 'diverse representation in media is just like christian entertainment' then i'd have to be pretty harsh on this argument

but the point of diversity isn't to help marketing departments pitch progress as a way for customers to feel good about themselves for buying the 'right brand', and that being what it's become is what you're getting at with that analogy

actual progress is just everyone seeing heroes and even villains who share their identity in our common culture, without those identities defining them or being a signifier to attract a segment of affluent consumers who are willing to spend money to self-identify as 'progressive'

in this case, you can tell that these people are actually just white people reveling in the exercise of power using diversity as an dogma they actually fundamentally don't get

i guess they have that in common with fundamentalists too, and in the process they're actually doing exactly what they accuse others of: using the oppression of others for self-agrandizment

Yes, there is. There's nothing ethically wrong with using money to purchase food and basic shelter. Live frugally and don't have a house with a car elevator. Certain types of liberals use this saying so they can feel better about being extravagant.

i'm guessing you don't know much about the politics of food production

if you have a lot of money you can spend it to fuel the industry around assuring people that this precise opinion is correct, which is a popular form of conspicuous consumption among the elite

capitalism is so far ahead of you that just one aspect of this, ethical food, is already an entrenched means by which the wealthy purchase a feeling of moral superiority
