Aziz Ansari on Acting, Race and Hollywood (NY Times)
Arnold Schwarzenegger is an unsung pioneer for minority actors. Look at “The Terminator”: There had to be someone who heard his name tossed around for the role and thought: Wait, why would the robot have an Austrian accent? No one’s gonna buy that!

The Sandler Memo has reduced criticism to a profession of chain letters.
