He could be a thin, nerdy black guy so I don't see why there's anything racist about that?? I enjoy the actor on the show but I can see wanting someone to resemble the character more in that way...

[(Anonymous)]

That's Jimmy Olsen? Wow. Talk about casting against type. That dude isn't the least bit weedy.

[ketita]

I have to agree with you. I have no problem with him being black, but he's... he just doesn't look at ALL like Jimmy should. I guess they wanted him to be older so as to contrast with the other romantic interest, but still.

[(Anonymous)]

I know. My first thought on finding out that he was playing Jimmy was "Haha, no".

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe if you said something like "He's too buff to be a nerd" and not something like "Him? Ew!" then people wouldn't misinterpret racism in your reactions?

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, that's supposed to be Jimmy? Ugh, I see what you mean.

He should be a scrawny lil' teenage dweeb, not Diet Vin Diesel!

He doesn't even have a bowtie.

[(Anonymous)]

It's supposed to be Jimmy years after he got his start as Superman's shadow. I agree he's miscast, but teenagers do grow up, so anyone they put in the role would have to be an adult for the timeline to make sense.

band name?

[(Anonymous)]

LOL @ 'Diet Vin Diesel'

[(Anonymous)]

You could split the difference and be a race purist, but I don't think that would help...

[(Anonymous)]

Shallowly, I don't care because he's hot.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, 10/10 would bang/be banged. :P

[elaminator]

Haven't seen the show, he's hot as hell but since the character is supposed to be thin and the opposite of buff I get why you aren't fond of the casting.

[leisuretime]

Judging by the number of people who think you must be racist at worst and in need of examining (wherein you will surely want to change) your preferences at best if you don't ship the Psych guys...your fear does not seem unfounded.

That said, this isn't Jimmy Olsen, cub reporter, this is James Olsen, established adult. I think there's room for some change.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh christ why is it so hard for people to understand that trends are a thing and that sometimes they point to a larger cultural mindset or bias?

[(Anonymous)]

Which posts, specifically, are you thinking of? Assuming you're referring to the discussions over the past two days.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, no, women aren't as attracted to that and that's the audience of the show. That's fact.

[diet_poison]

This, in a nutshell, may be why I don't really go to the movies.

[nightscale]

I don't actually know enough of Supergirl's source material to know what he's supposed to look like, but I like him as-is in the show.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess I can roll with it because they aged him up, I can see him gaining the confidence over the years. But I think it's legit that you're not a fan because he doesn't act the like Jimmy you knew.

[(Anonymous)]

Unless he can pass as a cute girl, he isn't Jimmy "Disguise Kit" Olsen, end of.

[(Anonymous)]

Black is a definite step up from being a redheaded Irish. It is hard to think of a racial step down from that really. Even most of the higher and midlevel primates are better than an Irish. Ah who am I kidding, even the lower primates and rodents are a racial step up from the Irish. You'd have to go all the way down to coprophages and raccoons to get an equivalent.

[diet_poison]

What about an Irish person who isn't a readhead?

[(Anonymous)]

So basically you want Steve Urkle right?
