Comfort food for the brain: The Chromatic Casting Meme on LJ/DW

[unusualmusic_lj_archive]

UPDATE: Changed to "more" link to Master list. Chromatic Disney!!! Chromatic Friends!!!Chromatic DISCWORLD!!! WOOOT!!!!

In the wake of another round of whitewashing POC YA adult book covers...called simply Coverfail Part One. To say nothing of the news that the new Harrison Ford/Brendan Fraser vehicle Extraordinary Measures completely and utterly erased the Taiwanese doctor who found the cure, Dr. Yuan-Tsong Chen, and replaced him with a completely new white character played by Harrison Ford. And while we're at it, check out this detailed and beautifully illustrated article Yellowface: A Story in Pictures. I do declare that I will post something that makes me happy. This meme has been floating around my fav haunts for the past couple of weeks.

Aaah, this was awesome! Half of them were like "no, no, you're not right" but the other half just hit me with "OH GOD YES YOU'RE PERFECT" and if I had any knowledge of celebrities I'd go do my own. Thanks for the link, this was kickass.
