Ben Kingsley’s birth name is Khrishna Pandit Bhanji, and yet I have seen his casting as Gandhi being described as whitewashing a number of times!
Kingsley is definitely the OG “looks vaguely ethnic unless the role needs him not to” actor.
I’d also nominate Edward James Olmos here.

We need to otherize weird right wing billionaires like the smear campaigns they fund against minorities do. Musk leads a baby breeding cult and Thiel wants to suck up the blood of young people. They’re fucking weird and more people need to know.

Cripes. This houses the 91-cm refractor, nearly 140 years old. I hope the damage to the dome and telescope isn't as severe as it looks.
Powerful Christmas Day winds gusting up to 114 mph severely damaged UC Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, forcing the nearly 140-year-old facility to close while officials headquartered at UC Santa Cruz assess structural damage and begin repairs expected to take months.

Every time billionaires say they’re gonna leave if you raise their taxes, outlets like the Times credulously regurgitate the propaganda. Meanwhile they don’t move cause these guys WANT to live in California and Manhattan and not Podunk and Bumfuck where the taxes are nonexistent.
