1766th.


"[White woman Rooney Mara is cast to play Tiger Lily in Pan.] But Tiger Lily being a problematic character isn't an excuse to cast a non-Native American actress. Rather, it's the same as it was with The Lone Ranger: The key to bringing a racial caricature forward to the modern day isn't to disregard that person's race but to change the character so they're not a racial caricatures. Jesus Christ. It's not that hard. There's something to be said for 'loyalty to source material.' but 'early 1900s racism is not one of the things you need to keep.'" - Rebecca Pahle
