    This kind of thinking costed us Apu Nahassapeenapettalon…

    …a trope-filled caricature was the only representation Indian-Americans had for years and years.

    which in my book is more racist than what we are attacking… Judging movies cause of the color of an actor’s skin (related to the role they play or not) kinda seems worse to me… 🤷‍♂️

    Oh look! This old racist chestnut. “The real racists are the ones calling out racism.”

    you should watch Monty Python

    Are you seriously equating a sketch comedy troupe with hiring new actors and actresses? Not only is that a bad faith argument that misses the point entirely, it’s not even a good attempt.
