Depends on the context of the comparison. But you know that. Agreed. Those are definitely not the best words to use, but you used them for a reason. Really think about what it means to become accustomed to a character looking a certain way and a person being a particular race. Are you actually...

Similarities like both list comparing fiction characters to real people? Yeah, I noticed that. Hold on a second, let me get this straight. You "became accustomed" to Bruce Lee's and Martin Luther King's race? "Established race?" No, in Bruce Lee's and Martin Luther King's cases, it isn't "the...

That's rich. You're accusing me of playing games? Ha! That's a good one Maxi. Now go ahead and post another list of fictitious characters with one real person and pretend that they are all real.

You're asking the wrong question. Try again.

Yeah because Martin Luther King is the same as the others.

Oh you coy little harlot. Acting as if you don't know which difference I'm referring to. Come on, give it one more try.

The most obvious one.

I'm curious; can you guess the difference between the three individuals you've named?

There was plenty of hate for The Wiz. http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/12/03/the-wiz-live-racist-all-black-cast-nbc-twitter/

Let me ask you this. Do you think Collin Powell is particularly dark? Compare him to the singer Seal. Pretty stark difference in skin tone, wouldn't you agree? Best part? To answer your question, yes, to both of your examples. I've met some light skinned black people that you would say they went...

The difference is that you're a real person, and Hermione is a fictional character.

Rowling is a Brit, like Morrus. Maybe it's a common thing to them. We, as Americans, may not have that same reference... or at least not to the extent that some Brits might. There are various shades of "black" in people. Some are darker than others. Some are very light skinned. Even so, I've...

Assuming the change wasn't made just for the sake of change, or to mix in colors, and it was just the casting director deciding that this was the best actor that auditioned for the part, what is it that you don't like?

That's an interesting thought. What if the actor cast for the role wasn't cast because she was black? What if she was cast because she was the best actor to audition for the role, and she just happens to be black? Would it still bother you?

Not at all. There are republicans that know building a wall, fence, or whatever you want, is impossible. Conservatives, on the other hand, are pushing for a wall, fence, or whatever to completely block passage across the border. Republicans tend to be a bit more realistic. Unfortunately, they've...

It's in the article I linked which you replied to. Something being impossible hasn't stopped conservatives from demanding it be done. But that's still 10% that are terrorists. I thought you were all for safety regardless of cost? It's already happening. The southern border is the attack route...

So then I take it that you agree that Marco Rubio is a hell of a hypocrite, even for a republican? So because vetting tourists takes a bit more effort, you're willing to ignore the giant hole where terrorist can get in? And yet, they still get in. They've gotten in for a log time. Even before...

How about people coming in on a work visa? Or how about those coming in on a investor visa? Everybody gets searched coming in. Some better than others. Tourists can stay for a good amount of time. They could also plan things ahead of time. You'd be missing all the ones that became citizens of...
