this is why i was kinda hoping she'd win

Are there any trans women out there aiming for any roles, or did any try out for that particular role? I don't think that is a big deal and definitely wouldn't be comparable to Matthew McConaughey playing Solomon Northup in blackface.

tbh

Basically. People were already getting tired of her. fff
She owes all her future success to Lupita. Poor JLaw.

Yes you can. That argument that racism only exists if it's encouraged by the system is absolute ********, you have to be dumb to not see the flaws in that argument.

I want you to look at what you wrote and think for a bit.

Blackface is also meant to mock and promote stereotypes. The comparison...

it is so in the same boat as blackface lol. they didn't want a trans person playing the role so they got a man and told him to pretend he was trans.

being trans isn't being a man in makeup and high heels people

Sociology doesn't get to control every use of the word racism. Thats not how the English language works. Casual racism on am individual scale exists too. We've been through this

She was the winner of 2013.

When or if Leo does get an Oscar, I wonder if he will have an iconic moment and standing O like this one:


For such a niche-y genre, this was one of the most memorable moments in TV.

Well whatever, prejudice, discrimination, I still find it insulting.

He's the same person in Time to Kill that he is in Dallas Buyers Club. The slicktalking Texan do-gooder championing for the unfortunate. The powers that be will never acknowledge Leo's versatility. He has played every role you could think of and does it well each time. Hardly a bad movie to this name

I don't have time to write essays on why this is wrong but no, reverse racism is not real.

prejudice is tho!

Beyonce's vocals on the last verse of Pretty Hurts... Words cannot even describe it.

Armenian Goddess

Could it just be because they needed a big name attached to the project and there simply aren't big name trans actors?

Sometimes the answer is simpler than what we think.

I want Matt on top of me

hmmmmm true. it's still kinda the same when you think about it tho
