'21' Discriminatory Casting Unjustified
This is making me wish I hadn't gone to see the movie. I already knew that there was some controversy about this, but I was really attracted to the idea of math geekery being used in such a badass, glamorous manner. Taken on its own merits, I still think the movie earns the 'B' grade I gave it a while back, but in terms of battling the marginalization of positive, strong images of Asian-Americans or Asians in general in the mainstream media? F for faaaaiiill. I mean, I don't think you even saw any Asians on the MIT campus! And the two Asians on the team, as I mentioned in my review, were pretty much token characters, especially Liza Lapira as Kianna.
Okay. Um. Going to attempt to impose order on the chaos of my room, brb.
