A bizarre racist outburst at a Texas school board isn’t an isolated event — it’s part of a national pattern

    My problem is the race switching. It is so stupid and is done in stories already told. There are tons of stories that have not been told about the race you are race swapping with. Why can’t we tell their stories instead.

      Or when they put random people of colour in historical dramas. I get that they need to somehow include actors of all origins, but I can’t help but feel like it’s also a kind of white washing? Like, sorry but a black person would not be a noble at the Louis XIV court, how about you actually talk about what history was like from that perspective rather than just shoehorning the actors and pretend like everything was fine and dandy for people of colour in those days.
