Role Call

AITOOW who thinks it's typical that minority groups are crying foul that Emma Stone is cast as an Asian? All we hear is how wonderful stunt casting is when it works the other way. But God forbid the ledger should ever be evened out. God forbid we ever look past labels. God forbid special interest groups can't use shame to advance a manipulative agenda. Then it's verbotten. Jonny Storm and Mary Magdelene can be black. But Emma can't be Asian. She's Irish so who's to say there isn't some Asian DNA in her? Anybody complain when Hallie Berry played an Asian in Cloud Atlas? You want more roles in movies? Here's an idea - make some yourselves instead of waiting for massa's scraps. You have a video camera on your phone.
