MIW’s Must-Read Blogs: Cultural appropriation, Wall Street racism, Asian F’s on TV
Anna May Wong
I read quite a few blogs (as you can see in my blogroll), and I usually find an endless number of badass posts. So badass, in fact, that they really should be shared with anyone who’s not already reading them. So, here you go. Read these!
Pop Scribblings
I recently found Pop Scribblings, a blog by Kirthana Ramisetti about “TV, diversity, and a hope that the two will intersect” and instantly fell in blog-love.
Jenna Ushkowitz
With a sharp eye on pop culture and her impassioned pleas to “save the TV character,” Ramisetti does TV writers one helluva huge favor. Her commentary on Glee’s Tina Cohen-Chang nailed exactly why I’ve been so disappointed by the character and by Glee in general. (Basically, if you’re not Rachel or Kurt, you don’t get a backstory or family or challenges to struggle against–or any on-screen time.)
