    Thinking Ideas People
    I think we have to get beyond the idea that we have to categorize people. we can now have action movies with two stars where one might be african american and one might be asian american. one of them doesn't have to be white, and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. we're way over that. and i think it's happening in society, too.
