BRAIN: this guy talked himself into a corner<\/a> and got his talk cancelled for it<\/p>\n

“It definitely still matters. Sanjay and Craig: Yes, the main character is Indian and it would still be a good show if he were white. But this provides something to relate to; if an Indian kid is watching and sees himself on screen, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s great.<\/p>\n

That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s true, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fine, but why can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t he relate to a white guy too? I was talking with the guy who wrote for DC, and he made a really good point: Why does someone who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s making something about a black person need to be black?”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

BRAIN: his argument was he didn’t like Sanjay being Indian “for no reason”
\nD: blinders in action
\nBRAIN: incidentally Sanjay is half Indian
\nBRAIN: THE FUTURE
\nD: indeed<\/p>\n

D: that’s I think the thing people don’t easily get: It matters seeing someone like you
\nD: there was a study from Google that suggested one of the main reasons women went into tech (and stayed there) is because they had early exposure to a female tech mentor
\nD: and thus awareness of how they could fit into the tech universe
\nD: it is both an obvious and subtle thing<\/p>\n

BRAIN: Pat Morita still pisses me off
\nBRAIN: uncle tom motherfucker
\nBRAIN: yet I am not angry about Mako<\/p>\n

D: i assume you’ve seen chasing amy. at least the intro
\nBRAIN: I still haven’t
\nBRAIN: After I got burned by Mallrats I have a cautious attitude towards Kevin Smith<\/p>\n
