as someone on the other side of casting, i want to reinforce that casting directors usually ARE super fucking racist in their choices of even who to include in who even hears about auditions, unless the client specifies that they want “diverse options”. they’ll deny it until they’re blue in the face and say that it’s “not racism,” that poc “don’t fit the right look,” for whatever reason, but it is racism. what goes on behind the scenes is racist. and it’s interesting, actually, that it’s easier to taft-hartley a poc into sag than a white person, because there are already so many union white actors. so, wouldn’t that mean they can go and get fresh poc talent that’s clearly not being included in the industry??? you can’t make excuses saying “oh there’s just not enough (x) [race] actors available” because there are plenty working, and even more new faces waiting for an opportunity.

 like it blows my mind someone like scarjo can take such a racist, blatantly whitewashed role (even tho she has been in extremely racist productions before, lookin @ u, lucy) and it’s absolutely her fault for doing so when she probably has her pick of scripts. for fresh (white) faces, it’s a lot easier to compromise your morals just for the sake of getting a foot in the door and money to pay the bills; but the fact of the matter is—- even if scarjo had denied the role, if the casting directors wanted a big-name white actress to give the movie a certified audience, they had no intentions of casting an asian woman to begin with. which is disgusting. with asian actors like arden cho being sidelined for no discernible reason, with mcu strange being a real thing that’s happening, with iron fist continuing its history of white savior appropriation, this kind of trend in media needs to be condemned, loudly. audiences need to be vocal about how we will not accept whitewashing and give these franchises the money that is their driving motivation.

you gotta get to that point where a man who disrespects you becomes unattractive. that you become disgusted by a man who doesn’t treat you like you deserve to be treated. where it’s such a turn off to be with a man like that that no matter how you felt before, you know it’s time to get up and go. it’s a part of working on your self esteem, even when you’re not single
