    I live in Manhattan on the UpperEastSide. I saw Spike come out of a barber shop I walked towards him to say hi and he turned around and walked away. Thats how he treats fans that make him rich and famous

    As a paleface, let me make sure I get this right
    The “Magical Mentor” In “The Hero Saga” Is No Longer Allowed to Be Of” African Descent ” ?
    Well, that throws all that work to BOTH kinds of ” Indians” but okay
    We’ll just have to use Tonto and Sabu the Elephant Boy

    I played a magical Negra IRL to the family i Nannied for. Alot of pressure for a 25yr old to educate a grown man and woman with my “wisdom.” Like I appreciate you trying to understand culture but how you 40 and wanna stay asking life advice from someone who’s hips ain’t even grown in yet?

    100000X better than the emasculated, abusive, asexual loser Asian men roles and 10000x better than the invisible native American roles.
    Complaining about Hollywood roles from black people is baffling as the media moguls love black anyone.
