Sorry, but I can't help but feel stunned and saddened by comments like the ones on that tumblr, even if it's just fifteen of them. Even if it's just ONE. It still makes me sad. Yes, I realize the Internet is TEEMING with racist and bigoted idiots of all stripes. And I am going to be saddened and stunned by them every time I come across them.

I'm being completely serious. Every time I read YouTube comments filled with hate directed at almost every group you can imagine, which is to say, 99% of all YouTube comments, it still makes me pause, and say, "Wow," and feel sad. Which is why I avoid reading it at as much as I can.

I posted a link to the Jezebel piece because--see above--I was saddened by the tweets included, but also because I had just come back from seeing the movie, it was on my mind, and I had just had a conversation about its casting. I didn't think it was something that would warrant such a follow-up, and now I wish I had never linked to it in the first place, as it kinda feels like I (and whoever else linked to it) is being criticized for it.
