Taylor Swift doesn't want you to see her belly button: http://t.co/AycL0iVHPH

“I wasn’t, like, a fanatic. I definitely read comic books, but this particular character was not someone that I knew very well until the last 10 years or so. I’d heard of him, but I hadn’t really been like I’m a huge Black Panther fan. I think once you get into the film business, though, you start thinking about things that would be really cool to do, and then I fell in love with [the character]. For me, that’s going to be the case for most people who watch it, for most people who see this character emerge inside the Marvel world. And it’s the right time for it, at the end of the day. It’s the right time for the character to emerge and to have his own life, so I’m really, really excited for it. And I just feel it can be done the right way right now.”
Almost six out of 10 Australians have had little or no contact with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; statistics that may explain how negative stereotypes surrounding Indigenous people continue to persist.
First Contact, a new three part reality series, aired this week on SBS. The concept was simple: find six non-Indigenous Australian who have controversial (racist) views on Aboriginal people and take them on a month long journey around the country to meet Indigenous people in an attempt to change their beliefs.
The participants decided to share some of their ignorant views before beginning the journey:
"Petrol-sniffing and drug-taking." ... "They've got plasma TVs but no food." ... "I'm Australian. I was born here, just like they were." ... "We give them houses, they burn them down." ... "Aboriginal people are definitely more disadvantaged." ... "They get so much more than us." ... "Everything costs more for me, but why is it less for them?" ... "A lot of freeloading." ... "Having this free ride, and I'm working my arse off." ... "Classing themselves as Aboriginal to get more welfare." ... "I've had very little to do with Indigenous people." ... "When it comes to brains, unfortunately ... " ... "Aboriginal people keep using the past. Move on." ... "You think it's racist? Well, I don't fucking care."
