What? Did a petition go around that I missed? at Siddity in the City

Is Hollywood going genuinely progressive?

Gabrielle Union.

John Cho.

An actual love relationship.

Incidentally, Hollywood, this does not get a certain group of you off the hook for that other petition that’s been going around. >:-/

Actually, i think it’s interesting to note that the only romantic interests I know of that John Cho has ever been paired with have been minorities:

Better Luck Tomorrow - another Asian.
Harold and Kumar - Latina.
FlashForward - African-American.
Star Trek - A starship.

Ha, interesting. I’m beginning to wonder if he isn’t to minority female Hollywood what Eva Mendez seems to be to minority male Hollywood. Hell, soon Cho will be paired with Mendez, and then the world will EXPLODE.

And now I’m dreaming about what sweaty Cho/starship scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. Damn.

Well, he’d have to fight Scotty for that.

That said, I prefer imagining Kirk/Spock/Sulu slash, with the new actors, of course…

Your imaginings are most inspiring.
