I'm just putting this out there

This is sort of in response to an upcoming episode of Hawaii Five-0, so I'm putting behind a cut.

As a woman with brown skin, I don't find it the least bit offensive when actors are made to be darker than they are to fill a role that a show/movie couldn't get casted by people who actually fit what was being looked for.

Though there was one movie that I found offensive and that was Tropic Thunder. I think that had more to do with the actual actors than anything else.

Also, no, I haven't experienced racism and if I have, I didn't know it and I'm grateful for that and also sorry that those who have experienced it had to. I know, only from what I've seen and read and heard from my parents, aunts and uncles, that it was cruel and shouldn't have happened.

So...there's a fan appreciation breakfast going on right now in Hawaii.

From the couple of pics I've seen, Teilor Grubbs, Peter Lenkov, Larry Manetti, Jeff Cadiente, Dennis Chun, Shawn Garnett (Kamekona's cousin Flippa), and others having to do with the show are there...as well as some fan? I don't know.

I'm a little envious.
