A film and television critic was mercilessly mocked for claiming white people portraying blue aliens in the newest “Avatar” movie were guilty of culturally appropriating people of color.
Kathia Woods, a writer for the Philadelphia Tribune, was eventually forced to lock down her account and make all her tweets private.
“At some point we gotta talk about the cultural appropriation of Avatar and white actors are cos playing as poc,” wrote Woods on Twitter. “It’s just a mess and so not necessary & no amount of visual effects/GCI is gonna erase that. Bad Lace fronts/ Dry synthetic braids. Jesus fix it.”
Woods bizarrely associated the blue-colored aliens of the fantasy movie world with “people of color,” and many on social media responded with scorn and ridicule. more
That’s what I thought…it’s an Aunt Esther.
Proving once again, leftists have no sense of humor.
A wake critic is upset with a woke movie. I guess we can look at it as some sort of progress when they eat their own.
I wonder if she complained when Ann Boleyn was played by a black woman or the new Oliver being played by a black person.
Blackness’ is an “ideology” that is “socially constructed”.

Next time Ridley, make sure you put a person of color underneath that Alien suit!
Then there is Hamilton, in which they refuse to use white actors to play white historical figures. But they are allowed I guess because racism.

Looks like the Blue Man Group iz in real trouble then…
Appropriation, like running water and sanitary sewers? No blax please, you’re appropriating our culture. Electricity to your home? no BIPOCs please, you’re appropriating our culture. Refrigeration? No, no no… that’s whitey too, drop those frozen potatoes and move away slowly, appropriators. Automobiles? Air travel?
Shall we go on with this fucking nonsense? We can!
I never watched the first Avatar movie and I sure as heck won’t watch this one either.
It is impossible to appropriate culture. Me adopting a custom I like from one culture doesn’t deprive that culture of a God-damn thing. Also, if you wanna play that game, we sure can. That means you have to give up electricity, antibiotics, and a whole bunch of other stuff, asshole.
What’s her take on white female democrat politicians who make phony claims of Native American linage for personal gain?
I guess Poppa Smurf was unavailable to comment.
Is this a Babylon Bee story LOL!
I demand reparations for the Blue People of Kentucky who were intentionally overlooked in casting this film!
