Why are we even having a conversation about the fraud called “race?” We are 100% identical in human DNA with a scant particle of that denoting variations in colors, height, hair etc., this separation by trite criteria must end!!!! Culture is what separates more than any physical trait. Lets end the racist stereotyping and designation of humans by such absurdities! If we stop it will go away I promise! To discuss ‘race” reinforces separation of the “other.” Have we not moved beyond that self degradation as a species yet??

A great and timely article! You covered important and poignant points. As a Caucasian I am sadly repelled at the behavior of the human race(s). And as an author/screeenwriter of Chinese American books/film scripts, I am disappointed that no film producers have connected to my reaching out—- to provide opportunities for Asian talent to perform in front of the camera rather than limited to only work behind it. My scripts provide contemporary roles for Asians and present something new and refreshing on TV or big screens. A good part of my life has been helping Chinese students at Yale University to assimilate into the western language and culture. Film making is my final goal tol help so many of us broaden our minds and hearts. I will keep searching for interested people in the film industry. Becuase I know, once it has begun, it will continue to flourish and through entertainment and talented Asian performers, we can open the minds of the audience around the world.

My favorite line in this blog entry: “Many indie films are as whitewashed as Hollywood ones, and there’s no financial excuse for that because most of the actors in such films are unknowns anyway. ” So true! I wonder this all the time. Great job Mynette!
