It’s what every modern show is doing these days.

Now we have Lily recounting the microaggressions she has received (and we have never witnessed though we’ve known her for 20 years). Hmmm how about you show those microaggressions in a scene? That’s basic storytelling...

I absolutely agree, Re: Spain and Latinos. It's the same for Portugal and Brazil. I was just taking the opportunity of your post to point out that 'Caucasian' (a term which everyone uses, even scholars) makes no sense to me. I completely agree with this. I feel the same.

I know the feeling. I live in Italy. Italians all think of themselves as whiter than white lol. They would be appalled to learn that some people may assume they are Latinos or Middle Easterners at times. My point is that - provided that race is such a flimsy structure - the term Caucasian doesn’t make any sense. It must be the result of some urban legend. What we consider “white people” have got nothing to do with the Caucasus area.

Is the Caucasus area Eastern Europe? Are the people from Armenia, Azerbaijan and ROG traditionally “white”?

That was revolting. Woah suddenly I'm really fond of TK as Ridge. And I'm all for an umpteenth Thorne recast (given what Ingo tweeted). I thought L.A. was more liberal than this.

A Twitter account that usually posts insider info (not sure how reliable it is) says: “Major: they want to meet with Victoria Rowell”.

I absolutely agree with you. I couldn't believe my own eyes. It's insulting. I'm disgusted too.

Thank you. I don't think there was much thought put into the Carmen character. However I'll say that the "Of course you don't understand, you can't hear me" was a subtle way to show how condescending and ignorant she was. For all of Latham's fault, I think we were supposed to be on Dru's side.

When MK joined that Locher room episode a few weeks ago, there was mention of a story where "Vanessa was temporarily played by another actress". It felt weird that MK would not mention AS. I am sure she is not someone to throw shade at a fellow actress, she's always kept it very classy. Still, it's not like Vanessa was played by multiple temp recasts over the years - it was pretty easy to remember AS.

I appreciate the cast taking sides. I'm missing the (cultural?) reference though. Why did they post GIFs with someone reading or making a list?
