I really liked the one about how the majority of people in Africa are white
Still, it amuses me when I hear stories of white people with family from Africa stare at someone and say, "Yes, I *am* an African American." It's such a "learn your world geography, idiot" moment. That also goes nicely when a black person from England--often with a classic Oxbridge accent--has to repeatedly point out that while they may be part African, they are by no means American. It's like some people have no other term for the black people they run into other than African American.

I do have a question though. I understand that Thor is a comic book movie so this isn't really applying to that, except that it sparked the questions in my head. The mythology and dogma of certain parts of the world are sometimes just as integral into the make-up and identity of that country as, say, the non-mythological government (Dubya not withstanding) or people that shaped that country. I wonder if there's a difference between color-blind casting on mythological people and real-life people have the same reaction if say a black British actress were cast as Queen Elizabeth I or an Asian actor were cast as Thomas Jefferson?
Something in my head says that it's totally different, but something else says, "Why?" Or is it just that my asshole is showing again?
I feel like ones like "I'm the king of the world!" and "I know Kung Fu" were fine in context -- the first time you heard them.
I refuse to have any charitable thoughts about
Titanic.
But...I haven't seen it. I'm just biased like that.

Avatar: The Last Airbender
is supposed to be all Asian, Asgard is supposed to be all white. I have no problem with that. He's a good actor, he'll do a good job, but I totally see where the beef is coming from.
I do not have that stance with Shakespeare, though.
Yeah, with fiction it shouldn't matter.
