Wouldn't the chicken melt the ice cream or is Canada so cold that nothing melts? I thought that was a big ass biscuit at first, but then a saw the spoon.
What are your thoughts on True Detective Season 2 taking place in LA County, and looking like it was shot in Aspen, Colorado? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OfU7CGY5DQ
I'm trying to keep from being the angry black guy in the teaser thread but it's annoying as fuck to always have these shows/movies be whiter than a Klan robe.

I don't expect amazing from a country where milk comes in a bag, but if it tastes good who am I to judge

Nah, thing will be worse because the "minority" will still be dictating societal values.

Anyone have that list on reasons why black people are shot/killed by police in America? I'm trying to make a flowchart on MS Paint

South Africa.
Pretty much the only 3 that are used. The same three have been used since the formation of the police.
Too hyped to care atm. I'll wait for a full trailer or June 21st to start airing grievances.

I am about to go into a 1 on 1 with my boss who up until a few weeks ago was my peer here at work. Probably going to be awkward already, but I am about to drop the bomb that I am applying for a position out of the group. I have only been here for 11 months, and until you have been in your position for over a year you have to inform/get permission from your manager to even apply for another internal role. It's dumb, it's stupid and if you don't get that other job you kind of are making it an awkward situation, but it is what it is.
I get the feeling that she was really going to rely on me going forward, but I am not feeling this work/project one bit. The other role is much more up my alley as far as interest and my previous experience. Hopefully she won't shoot me down or develop an attitude if I don't get the new job. I gotta do what I gotta do for me though.

Sad that's this is too relevant.
Some of the comments in there are probably

Too be fair most of this is West LA or in Ventura County. 70% of the population is white in both places. Blacks make up less than 2% in VC. Even lower in West LA. Hispanics are the second largest ethnic group but it's relatively low compared to East LA.
But don't let stats get in front of your outrage.

If this was in East or South LA there would be a problem. Ventura is white as fuck. I'm usually the darkest dude in the room when I go anywhere up there.

That's barely commentary. I know you've worked retail and seen real outrage, fam.
You're such an asshole about everything Lol.
I lived in Southern California before moving to the Bay Area, specifically in Long Beach and then Moorpark (what a shitty fucking city), so I'm not clueless about the demographics. I'm well aware of the fact that there's not many black people within the area, and I'm not sure why people insist on assuming that I'm talking about black people every time I bring up a lack of diversity. But anyways, I'm not sure how to debate with someone who considers 30% of a population being insignificant enough where not representing it at all is somehow justifiable.

Yo, throw some Latino in there and you'd be good.
But they cast for talent and where are you going to find a Latino actor that can match up to Vince Vaughn? Not in Hollywood, son. I don't even know if good Latino actors exist outside of Jane the Virgin and Danny Trejo.

At first I thought that looked like a weird, fluffy omelette next to that chicken. Given everyone's reaction it seems that it is Ice Cream. Weird.
The movie made almost 150 million in its first weekend right? Obviously its successful. What is that guy even talking about?
Let me know when you find out cause I have no idea.
Hispanic (and Asian) representation in Hollywood is downright despicable, made worst if you narrow that down to Hispanic-American and Asian-Americans - considering a lot of the talent that is present from those demographics were already established within other countries. They lack the incubation crutch that Black actors have in All-Black films, and as a result, their presence within Hollywood is barren as fuck.

I was actually joking, but the problem is real. The thing is, there are enough Hispanic and Asian (expanding this to include Middle Eastern) actors in Hollywood, they're just all on TV. These are good, proven actors and actresses who merely need a shot at the big screen.

I didn't even know they were on TV. I still mostly see white people with the occasional black character or show. I can't even remember the last Asian sitcom or drama before Fresh Off the Boat. The same goes for Jane the Virgin.

You take that back about Moorpark. It's the only place in SoCal I can get Me and Ed's Pizza.

Of course!
Daniel Henney. Voice of Tadashi in Big Hero 6, recently cast for the new Criminal Minds spinoff.
Gael García Bernal, recently from Amazon's Mozart in the Jungle.
Godfrey Gao, last seen in the Mortal Instruments adaptation.
Raza Jaffery, last seen as a guest-star on Sherlock.
Ladies?
Arden Cho has been on Teen Wolf for a while.
Melissa Fumero and Stephanie Beatriz on Brooklyn Nine-Nine are Cuban and Argentine respectively.
Malese Jow just finished a run on The Flash.
Celina Jade, another CW actress, has been on Arrow. you could also rock Katrina Law from the same show.
And that's just the people I know from TV I watch. The actors and actresses are out there, filmmakers just don't look for them.

I saw Daniel Henney at a Korean all you can eat place in K-Town. That dude is seriously good looking. Every woman in the place was looking at him and I am sure all the dudes were jealous.
Good post. This is how I feel. The other related articles were also great. Recommended to those who don't understand how us black ppl feel generally about cop violence and such.

Next month a movie that has like 1 black dude in a speaking role and every one else is white is going to open to $220mil in the US alone. That's all the justification an executive needs when casting.

Exactly. The people are out there. Hollywood just doesn't care.
I pasted on Teen Wolf because it is MTV, might have to give it a shot
This arc has gone one wayyyyyy too long.

It's alright. One of the actors smokes weed with my roommate. Cool person.
It would help if Oda didn't take like a year off in one week breaks.
I heard they have snake people

Oda knows. That's why we got that Gear Fourth tease. Been too long even since Usopp's upgrade.
Honestly I don't even know why they started fighting.
