“When I was in school I took a class with Cornel West, who’s this amazing African-American Studies professor, and he would say that in America there’s this sort of racism against Asians where they say, “Oh, you know, they all look alike.” He believed the reason is that Americans don’t take enough time to look. Yet that’s actually proved beneficial because you can play someone who’s Japanese, as you do in Memoirs of a Geisha.”

Natalie Portman to Zhang Ziyi (x)
*Sigh.* Really? Really?

natalie portman, kill yourself

read the source guys… you don’t have the context.
Natalie was interviewing Zhang Ziyi for a magazine and Zhang Ziyi was still in the process of learning English. Racism and its effects is a difficult topic to have discourse about, even if you’ve mastered a language. Natalie just wanted to know her opinion on how that works, and how that feels. Zhang Ziyi talks about how she had to work hard to get mannerisms and posture correct.
The question wasn’t racially charged, I don’t think. Natalie could have worded it better, but this was probably the fastest way for Zhang Ziyi to comment on something. In fact, Natalie ends it with a question that Zhang Ziyi uses to bring it full circle.
NP: One last question: What do you think is the biggest misconception people in the U.S. have about China?
ZZ: [both laugh] That we look the same. Or they think a particular Chinese restaurant has such good food, and then I go and try it and say, “That’s not Chinese food—we have much better food than this!” [both laugh]

plain spaghetti? that's not a good treat for kids

reading on a kindle? please. that’s not really reading. reading is turning a page made entirely out of human skin. reading is letting the cover crease and letting the horrors of time and space escape and the creases deepen and crack. reading is smelling the ink on the page, made out of blood of the innocent, and letting the memories of the satanic ritual preformed to make such a book of wonders be formed. THAT’S real reading. fuck technology.
