i’ll never understand why we don’t call countries the names they actually call themselves 

like, i know this is a weeaboo-sounding example, but let’s start with Japan. They call themselves Nippon or Nihon depending on… i guess, the speaker’s accent??? or their level of formality while speaking??? I dunno. But we still called them Zipangu for like a few hundred years. And now we call them Japan. 

All because Marco Polo asked someone in China about that island over there and they said “oh that’s Cipangu” and Marco Polo was like “Oh, Zipangu, cool.” And then he went back to Italy and said “Y’ALL THERE’S THIS DOPE-ASS ISLAND CALLED ZIPANGU” and people back in Italy were like “An island called Giappone? Dope.” 

And this pattern of people mishearing people kept repeating until we got to “Japan.” 

And we still call them Japan even though we know better. Because fuck you, Marco Polo asked the wrong person 500 years ago and misheard them and we’re sticking to that, I guess.

Damn if Hollywood isn’t fucked up and Disney has a terrible track record when it comes to diversity, but tonight Coco won for best animated movie and then producer Darla K Anderson got up on national TV and promptly thanked her wife, writer Adrian Molina thanked his husband, director Lee Unkrich gave a speech about how representation matters for marginalized kids, and then Anthony Gonzalez, voice of Miguel, victoriously proclaimed his love for Mexico in Spanish in front of all of Trump’s America and goddamn if that wasn’t satisfying as fuck

My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.
