.@BillBaggins96 Meanwhile, the solution begins when we demonstrate that history's pattern of white-washing is not "random". #WhiteWashedOUT

.@BillBaggins96 What "random" example? This playwright wrote characters of colour, and protested their whitewashing. #WhiteWashedOUT

.@BillBaggins96 Under what circumstances wld blackface, brownface, yellowface, etc be valid? Who is deciding the validity? #WhiteWashedOUT

I'm late to this game, but: #WhiteWashedOUT isn't really about casting and movies. It's about the basic right of self-determination by POC.

When POC are erased - from media, classrooms, politics - we are denied the basic right to present ourselves FOR ourselves. #WhiteWashedOUT
December 2, 2024 at 2:48 PM
When we are erased from the screen, we are rendered that much more invisible, dehumanized, and Other. #WhiteWashedOUt

Thse who say Whitewashing harmless expse their privilege. For thm, wht happens in media doesnt inflnce racism faced in life. #WhiteWashedOUT

Here's bigger question: will we hold Hollywood accountable. Will we mass boycott actors, films who engage in Whitewashing? #whitewashedOUT
December 2, 2024 at 2:48 PM
Will we throw meaningful mass support behind independent #AAPI and other #POC film, filmmakers? #whitewashedOUT
December 2, 2024 at 2:48 PM
How many more decades of yellowface, caricature, and whitewashing should we have to tolerate? Screw this industry. #whitewashedOUT

#AAPIef="/hashtag/AAPI" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#AAPI indie cinema is well-written, well-produced, and hey - no racist erasure. Need proof? Check ur local #AAPI film fest. #whitewashedOUT
December 2, 2024 at 2:48 PM
We need to take every dime we would spend on whitewashed actor or flick and throw it to POC indie film community. Now. #whitewashedOUT

.@BillBaggins96 The problem w your position is that you ignore the racial history of yellowface, blackface, brownface, etc #WhiteWashedOUT
December 2, 2024 at 2:48 PM
.@BillBaggins96 You ignore that there are power dynamics invoked when a White actor plays an explicitly non-White role. #WhiteWashedOUT
December 2, 2024 at 2:43 PM
.@BillBaggins96 Furthermore, in practice, Hollywood affords -White- actors, not actors of color, freedom to play any role. #WhiteWashedOUT
