Money doesn't shoot out of my ass at will.

Well why not

NBA Jam is rad, though.

Hell, so's SFII.

I moved house.
I have way too many clothes in Japan. Not enough room to hang them all up.

How many kimonos do you own?

[Zanza]

Are those streets still called Heerstrasse and Reichsstrasse?

Yes.

Some of that reminds me of Swedish Smörgåstårta.

Actually, doesn't it?  Is race an important part of the character?  Serious question, I don't know.  But if so, yes.

For someone who clothes himself in such progressive garb, you sure come off as thoroughly regressive on occasion.

Aren't you a writer?  Do you seriously believe that race does not matter to any character, ever?

Of course you don't.  Sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does.

You can have a black Peter Parker, because being a loser who can't stay with the tour group doesn't depend on race.  You can't have a black Bruce Wayne, because a mountain of WASPy privilege is inherent to the character.  You can have a black Bruce Banner, because being a gamma ray scientist doesn't depend on race.  You can't have a black Captain America, because the 1940s.

I used to think you couldn't have a black Superman, but now I think that's possible, you just can't put Smallville in Kansas--which it wasn't, originally, anyway (it was nearer the Atlantic coast, probably in Maryland!).  There are small black farms all over SC and Georgia though.  But wouldn't Superman have to be a somewhat different character if he grew up with the disfavored skin color in a country where race, unfortunately, matters?

But,you know, on reflection, you're totally right.  Let's cast Garrett Hedlund as the Black Panther.  Where's the fucking harm?  I'm being ridiculously conservative.

Now as to whether race matters to Dora the fucking Explorer, I said I was serious and meant it.  How the fuck should I know?

Fwiw, I doubt any of you know either.  Maybe MB.

Black Superman growing up in the 90s doesn't require a chip on his shoulder.

[Josquius]

You can't have a black superman. He must always be Jewish.

How many kimonos do you own?

One. It is kept in a box. They dont' crease.

I love your backwards racial thinking.
