Constance Wu, Ming-Na and other Asian women speak up against Hollywood's racism
.@ConstanceWu& @MingNa urge Asian-Americans to fight against Hollywood’s racism https://t.co/5q8lhSgQzbpic.twitter.com/cNlwsqyi2H

- Took place during the Committee of 100 Conference in Beverly Hills. Addresss the current state of U.S.-China relations and issues impacting Chinese-Americans.
- Joan Chen (Marco Polo, Twin Peaks) and Lynn Chen (Saving Face) were also part of the panel with Constance and Ming-Na.
- Slammed the ScarJo/Ghost in the Shell debacle.
- Joan Chen "defended the filmmakers’ freedom to cast whomever they saw fit to play the protagonist of their films." It got a little heated from there. Urged “young people to get into the business” and write their own stories.
- Ming Na: “Culturally, I think it is not in our nature to confront these types of conflicts, to voice our concerns, to band together to voice our concerns, and that needs to change. We have to fight our own fight.”
- Constance Wu: “A lot of people’s visions of who they think looks like their hero is rooted in systemic racism....I don’t think it is bad for them to be challenged to think outside their boxes. … I don’t think it will reduce their work for them to think, What if I cast this person as a Latina?“
- Constance Wu: “I think it’s because of the scarcity of roles. If I say this against this executive producer, maybe they wont hire me. Better to say it in private to my friends so that I get employment later.“

Crew members for the Amazon show 'Transparent' are apparently uncomfortable with the unisex gender bathroom on set. Women in particular are apparently worried about seeing men use the urinal. Several crew members are apparently too scared too complain for risk of being labeled transphobic, something that would be a "kiss of death" on set.

A recipient of an only $20 monthly pension, in a long delayed tribute, #HarrietTubman will now grace the $20 bill. pic.twitter.com/Da2iscRQER

From Politico:
- Tubman will be on the front of the $20 bill, though Andrew Jackson's face may still appear on the back
- Alexander Hamilton to remain on the front of the $10, due in part to the popularity of the Broadway musical "HAMILTON"
- Leaders of the suffrage movement will appear on the back of the $10 bill
- civil rights leaders/important American historical moments will be somehow included on the $5 bill
Will begin circulation in 2020The new designs will be released in 2020, circulation will begin in NEXT DECADE

Cool that there was a national debate whether to go with Harriet Tubman or the war criminal slave owner who did a genocide that one time.

Putting #HarrietTubman on the $20 bill is about recognizing a brave American hero. And, frankly, it is about time. https://t.co/Crvnqzskwj

The news just broke so reactions are still coming in: ONTD, do you think this creates a positive or negative perspective on the legacy of Harriet Tubman and the history of slavery in America?

"I couldn't resist," Rheon said.

Katherine Heigl says calling Knocked Up sexist was dumb
Back in 2008 Katherine Heigl faced backlash when she referred to her movie Knocked Up as being sexist. "It was a little sexist. It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days. I'm playing such a bitch; why is she being such a killjoy? Why is this how you're portraying women? Ninety-eight percent of the time it was an amazing experience, but it was hard for me to love the movie."
In a new interview with Howard Stern, Heigl says she shouldn't have criticized the film. "The rule in Hollywood is you don't criticize the movie that's coming out. No. That was dumb."
She continued, "I liked the movie a lot. I just didn't like me. She was kind of like, she was so judgmental and kind of uptight and controlling and all these things and I really went with it while we were doing it, and a lot of it, Judd allows everyone to be very free and improvise and whatever and afterwards, I was like, 'Why is that where I went with this? What an a--hole she is!' It was, again, one of those situations, it was a huge opportunity for me. I was being interviewed for Vanity Fair. Like, I was on the cover of Vanity Fair, it was a huge big deal for me. And the journalist...just said, 'You know a lot of women felt it was a little sexist' so then I felt obligated to answer that and so I tried in my very sort of ungracious way to answer why I felt that it maybe was a little."

Lily Allen Felt Victim-Shamed Over Stalking Ordeal Of 7 years
- In 2009, Lily Allen started to receive abusive notes and suicide threats at her home and office and last year the same man who had left those note broke into her flat and bedroom after she forgot her door unlocked.
- She didn't recognize the man when he entered her flat because the police only showed her the pic of the suspect for 30 seconds after repetitive requests during the years that the stalking went on.
- The man was only arrested after stealing her handbag.
- Her stalker is 30-year-old Alex Gray (diagnosed with schizophrenia) and after the invansion last year he was charged with harrasment and burglary, but no stalking charges were made. "The police didn't seem interested in making a stalking case", Lily said.
- Gray's mother told the police that he told her during a visit that he was determined to murder a celebrity. The police never informed Lily of such while she was living at the same flat on her own.
- She went to his bail-hearing and he said that "the world would be a better place without her". No one from the police was around.
- She thought the notes from the previous years would be used at the court case against him, but was told that they had been destroyed "according to police protocol".
- After giving a interview to The Observer about her problems with the investigation, she received a email from a Met Officer that read: "due to the high profile of this matter I fear other victims of similar crimes may have read the story and now may not have the confidence in us to report such matters. As such it is really important I can understand what, if anything, went wrong during the investigation."
- Says that she felt victim-shamed by such letter and the she will feel some relief once he is dealt with as a mentally ill person because until he gets proper treatment she and her children won't be safe (i think he's in a regular jail but idk).
- Is now working with the Women's Equality Party and the stalking advocacy service Paladin to create a register for serial stalkers since that more than 700,000 women get stalked every year and only 1% of those cases are recorded by the police.
- How was it like when he broke into her house: "I'm lying in bed and I can see the door handle moving and then he steams in, starts screaming and shouting... I could see he was really agitated and upset. I recoiled back into my bed and he ripped the duvet off and jumped out of bed and ran around to the other side of the room and he kept shouting at me, but he was very focused on me and it was loud and aggressive and he had something under his jumper."
- Isn't angry at him at all. "I wanted to help - I felt immediately like there's something really wrong with this guy and I feel like he's been let down. I've been let down. And how many other people are being let down?"
