Everyone's White

There's the new music video out for Michael Jackson featuring a "live" "performance" by "him" as a "hologram." That's a lot of quotation marks. Like, a lot. On the plus side, a holographic Michael Jackson can't molest your children. On the other hand, by the time he died, Michael Jackson looked nothing like Michael Jackson, and the holograph is a representation of an ideal version of himself, namely: white. This is what I'm talking about:

Look at that. Who is that? It could be Chis Angel, for all I know.
This is what he actually looked like when he died:

No, that's not John Travolta. That's Michael. I can understand the liberties they took with the hologram, because quite frankly that version of Michael is horrifying.
This is Michael Jackson circa Bad:

Still: pretty white. He's not getting pulled over anytime soon, except by police officers that mistook him for a fine white woman. Still, he looks more akin to the hologram, but...
This is what he's supposed to look like:

There we go. That kid's black. With the technology we have, we could give Michael back his orginal nose, skin colour and bitchin' 'fro. We won't though, because we like white Michael better, and that's because we're racist.
Speaking of racism: GODZILLA! 
This is the cast of the new Godzilla movie:

One of those things is not like the other... Godzilla is a movie about a Japanese-made monster from Tokyo.... with a nearly all-white cast. The same thing can be said about the Mattew Broderick fiasco, but this is 2014. Could they not find more than one Japanese actor? Brian Cranston's got that Breaking Bad heat on him, but who the fuck goes to see a Godzilla movie for Brian Cranston? Are American audiences so racist that they need to see only white people in a foregin movie? The answer is yes. The orginal Godzilla movie was clumsily edited for American audiences and included a white male reporter who was suspiciously never on screen at the same time as Godzilla or any Japanese person.There's a tradition of making movies based on Japanese culture or films as white as possible. Look at 47 Ronin, starring a very-white and sad Keanu Reeves, or the The Last Samurai starring an even whiter Tom Cruise. They might still be working on a live-action Akira remake starring a ghost-white gajin by the name of Leonardo Dicaprio, despite that not making any sense, but what in this list has? Think about it: American Ninja = white. Karate Kid = white/black. Even that Ninja Turtles movie where they went back in time to Japan starred mostly white actors. By comparison, Japanese people are better represented by Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift (starring a white guy) and the Wolverine (starring a white guy). Even the recent Star Trek movies had a Korean actor playing a Japanese man. Sheesh.

Nintendo and Inclusion

Nintendo is vowing to be more inclusive in regards to homosexuality after a furrow about no including homosexual marriages in a game for children. Nintendo has always been WAY gay, though. Bear in mind that most Nintendo games are played by two sweaty, hormonal teenaged boys in a dark basement. that's just the start.
Their mascot is an Italian "bear." On his quest to rescue the Princess, Mario first rescues seven penis-shaped dudes, who are all very grateful. His kiss with the Princess at the end is very short and uncomfortable. Notice how long Mario has been rescuing the Princess, but he's never become Prince Mario. That's because Princess "Beard" is in denial, and Mario is in the closet. Sorry I had to break it to you.
As for Samus, kids had to furitively play through her games as fast as possible to see her in her underwear. You're encouraged to try harder to make your super-butch chatacter appear more feminine.
As for Link and Zelda... Is Link really a dude? Why are women better able to cosplay as him instead of men? Link's like Arya Starknpretwnding to be a boy, only hot for lesbos.
