Because I am sick of seeing it...

Dear Twilight fandom,

Jacob Black is Native American, you fucking morons. What makes you think Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Stephen Strait an appropriate casting decision?

It's not even like he's a character who just happens to be Native American, his heritage plays a PRETTY IMPORTANT PART IN THE COMING SAGA, so it's not like you could colorblind cast it. (That is a whole separate issue, don't even start me.)

Don't take it personal, I'm actually angry with the Kanghwa Treaty,
Liz

P.S. I lied, I think you're all idiots on this particular subject.

Bring up the issue of black face and see what they say.

That is so not an argument anyone can win. XD

[endofhistory.livejournal.com]

Not really. Although they might ask what that is.

Wait what? Do they think someone with dark hair can be Native American? Bwah?

Didn't they already cast Jacob?

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

The last I heard was that they were casting Jacob, although I suppose that doesn't stop the teenies.

Oh, I know where I heard (possibly fake?) casting news. It was Oh No They Didn't. http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/20671867.html

Oh, could be, as that is a week ago and at this time last week I was up to my knees in Not LJ Flisty Things.

... RAGE.

That seriously pisses me off. >.< Why do people DO that? This is important, even barring the issue of whether it goes into the plot - which should make it moot, anyway, in the proper favor - because heritage is part of character and... RAAAAGE.

(I should put this in my thesis. Sigh.)

*huuuugs*

I hope your studying went well, Miss Liz. :(
