Yes, that's how acting works! Casting directors seek out actors that have the look they want. And we should treat these actors as actors doing a job rather than making fun of them or pitying them. Because they're in an Eggers film and that's awesome for them.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. https://t.co/FEmCrdQ392

[Milan Busk @KarolusWangus]

She's not ridiculous. Quite the opposite. That's sort of the problem. She's a sane, normal policewoman who finds herself dealing with serial killing vigilantes and drug running CIA agents. Her problem isn't that she's stupid. It's that she's not.

For the last 46 years, it has been my privilege to work alongside countless talented artists and crews to create these characters, stories, and films for you all.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at the movies! DIGGER. Only in theaters this October.

Everything Dangote just reeks low quality. Heavily armed security men guarding foreign visitors. The ‘plaque’ to commemorate the visit written by hand by a company that allegedly manufactures cement. People being shoulder carried through water just like in the ‘good old days’.

All of this by the company that claims it wants to ‘industrialise Africa’. When you make your money entirely through government protection this is the best you can come up with.

Pathetic

It is not just the far right. It is the media themselves, including the so-called progressive ones.

Violence in Britain has fallen 83% since the mid-1990s. Burglary 86.6%. Vehicle theft 86.4%. ONS, Crime Survey for England and Wales, forty years of data.

89.5% of prisoners serving for violence against the person are British nationals. 89.4% for sexual offences. 73% of the prison population is white.

Convictions by ethnicity are 84% white, matching population share almost exactly. Violence is the largest arrest category at 47%, and the MOJ confirms this is "broadly consistent across ethnic groups".

The disproportionality is in drug offences and weapons possession, not violent crime.

The Oxford Migration Observatory found that controlling for age and sex, foreign nationals are underrepresented in prison: 3,193 fewer than demographics predict.

The LSE found "the increase over time in offending is much stronger among the British than the Foreigners. Indeed there is essentially no change in the violent incarceration rate of foreigners over the whole period in spite of the two large immigrant waves that occurred".

A study of 55 countries over three decades (Journal of Economic Perspectives) found no correlation between immigration and crime. Homicide fell by a third globally from 1990 to 2019 while the immigrant population grew by two thirds. A separate analysis of 216 regions across 23 European countries found "no significant link between immigration levels and crime rates".

Yet the public believes the opposite. A MORI survey found the British public believed 23% of the population was foreign born. At the time, the actual figure was around one in nine. The public perceives the most negative impact of immigration to be crime. The data says foreign nationals are underrepresented in violent crime. That gap is not an accident. It is a product.

Violent crime is over 60% of tabloid crime coverage despite being 20% of reported crime. An analysis of 402,819 articles found the immigration-crime link in public perception exists because of selective coverage and breaks when native criminality is given equivalent prominence.

Arendt (2010) found over-representation of "foreign crime" articles directly led to readers overestimating foreign offenders.

Blinder and Jeannet (2017, British Journal of Political Science) showed media depictions directly affect the accuracy of British public perceptions.

The Erasmus study found coverage "disproportionately focused on crimes involving immigrants, fueling misconceptions even when data showed no substantial increase". A CEPR study found this coverage directly increased populist voting by 5%.

And it is not just the tabloids. Conservative papers focus on immigrant crime. Liberal and progressive papers focus on "group-related problems". Both frame immigration through threat.

A study of 40,000 articles found systematic bias against Muslims across UK media. The BBC, Sky, ITV, the Times, the Guardian: they all amplify crime when the perpetrator is an immigrant or non-white, not because it is more common, but because it is more engaging.

A domestic murder in Sunderland does not get 3.4 million views. A white British man who commits one of the nine out of ten violent offences in this country does not trend.

The result: a population that believes crime is rising when it has collapsed, believes immigrants are dangerous when they are statistically less so, and believes the country was safer decades ago when every dataset says the opposite.

The far right did not build this machine. The media did. The far right just learned how to drive it.

Sometimes fighting for your rights includes fighting for the rights of people you hate. In fact, the greatest test of your principles is whether they shift based on your prejudices. That’s because principles don’t work in isolation; they work in systems. If you cannot see how it all trickles down to you and will lead to your own doom, I don’t even know what to say.

[MugenLord @MugenLord]

Being black and having a different opinion than the group, has been like this for as long as I can remember.

That's why a lot of us in life, learned to shut the fuck up and move in silence and get shit done.

What I love about this scene is that Huey simply has a different opinion and it disrupted this supposed black unity. When Uncle Ruckus shows up and agrees with Huey, people will then associate Huey with Ruckus despite his reasoning being completely different.

That's how it is in real life and social media. Just because you have a different opinion and some Uncle Ruckus or racist agree with you doesn't mean you align with them. They attach themselves to your opinion to validate their own personal bias, which is something you have no control over.

That's why when you say something they disagree with, they will also attack you too because their intent was never aligned with yours to begin with.

That's why the whole "See, you cultivated these kinds of people and now they are turning on you." Is stupid, no I didn't cultivate anything, these people latched onto my opinion to validate their own internal bias without knowing the nuance of my opinion.
