Discussion with an asshat on FB [View all]

This guy spent some time howling about "woke Hollywood," finally focusing his disgust on what he calls the "racist" policy of changing the ethnicity of characters.

He posted several comments about this until, having gotten a general sense of his views, I replied "Yeah, like when Republicans turned Jesus Caucasian with blue eyes and light brown hair."

And I confess that this threw me, because I'd simply never heard it before. I mean, I've seen True Romance, but they were talking about Sicily.
