    One obvious response to this is to watch movies from Bollywood & other Asian cinemas. They make more of them than anyone else in the world.https://twitter.com/Jezebel/status/883097699255562240 …

        That's dangerously close to cultural appropriation.

        Still important to say out loud that in western cinema, nonwhites are nearly always defined by a relationship to a white person

        My take is that it's an inability of white ppl to see themselves as not central to everything & also subjugation. The two are complimentary.

        the article raises a great point, why aren't brown and black ppl allowed to be with each other in Hollywood films?
