    I always tell people like this that jesus was a short brown skinned jewish man and I take offense to white people portraying him in video and people portraying him as white in paintings too and I swear they would shoot me on the spot if we u.s. losers but we are canadian losers.

    Any actor should be able to play any role regardless of race or gender. Anything else is systemic discrimination.

    “You can’t play shakespeare because you’re black!” screams the basement dwelling internet troll at the kenyan shakespeare society.

    Poor Elon Musk. The casting choices on The Odyssey have deeply affected his big, sensitive heart. But you wouldn’t know it, due to his mature stoicism.

    I mean, you expect he’d tweet up a storm, post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post over several days, making him look like some sort of whiny, tantrum-throwing white supremacist.

    But, no. The control that selfless Titan of Industry has over his emotions is inspiring!

      I just had a great idea. let’s make a mockumentary about Trump and all his supporters, but cast inversely instead.

      let’s get a nice young black man that looks like Obama to play Trump, but we actually name the character something weird like President Donald Doofy but he still acts like Trump.

      it’ll be the worlds best troll. all the advertisements will be “doofy” rambling on about how the movie is getting rave reviews and “the best” ratings better than that shitty “melabia or whatever” movie.

      I do not, and have never, twittered. Nonetheless I have to assume you are being facetious, and that I am missing out on a veritable stream of rageposting nonsense from the 21st-century Midas of Feces.
