        Kumail Nanjiani is a comedian and actor. He was in Silicon Valley and more recently he got shredded for Marvel’s Eternals. He’s pretty funny.

        He played, or voiced more accurately, prismo in adventure time. He’s also a stand up comedian

            For sure. Idc what anybody else’s opinion about that show was, it was so wholesome and amazing. And the ending was so good. Hiding that relationship between two female characters you’d already learned to love for who they are, understanding why bubblegum wouldn’t accept finns absences suddenly making sense, huntress wizard, Jake and his family growth. What happened to humanity, finns struggle with honor, loyalty, and then finding out humans still exist? they really should make a movie. It was a little past my time, but once I watched it, I could see how its target audience could see that love is love, that nobody is wrong for being who they are, the actual important things to judge a person by isn’t who they love, it’s why they love and care about the people in their lives. So many subtle things about that show, as outrageous as it was, really showed that togetherness is what is so important.

      Why do you put “Me”? Who else is using your account? They should identify themselves.

      Same here, I don’t watch TV so I’m clueless.

      I do know who Sarah is, my favorite role of hers was in The Way of the Gun and she gets decked.

        That scene is so classic, I had to give away my copy of the dvd because it is just so realistic in it’s violence. One time I had to just stop watching it half way through and I don’t think I can ever watch it again

        Great movie but maybe just too real

          Escalation of violence is key and this movie personifies it. Its a sad reality but thats how it is… (Done a ton of military training on this)

    Kumail literally had a stand up bit when he was much less well known about being called “Kumar” and how he dreams of the day that he is the goto point of reference that racists use to stereotype other brown people and himself. So Kal should proud of that, at least.

    Also, I work with a lot of Middle Eastern and Indian people with a wide variety of names. It is weird that these three celebrities talking about being mistaken for each other all have names starting with K, containing an A, and ending with L. Kumail, Kunal, and Kal. Maybe it’s not so much about them being mistaken for each other but switching similar names around, like white guys called Kayden, Brayden, and Layden.

    Eh, it took me years to tell Claire Danes apart from Gwyneth Paltrow and I think there are a couple other actresses that I may also be thinking are Claire or Gwyneth. It isn’t “they don’t recognize different brown people” as much as there are many doppelgangers in the world.

      Dopinder is on the multi-list. Plays the Indian Spider-Man in the Miles Morales animated movies.

        Depends on if you are exposed to other ethnicities growing up.

        People that grew up in a monoculture struggle a lot more than people who lived in diverse neighborhoods and schools.

    I never understood people who can’t tell look-a-likes apart. Sure, some people look very much alike, but it doesn’t take long to pick up on the small details. Only time I was a bit confused was when I started in college and a girl in my class had a twin who was in the class next door, but I didn’t know for the first few days so I had one deja vu experience after the other. Haha. But it didn’t take long before I could tell them apart from a mile away.

      Prosopagnosia - face-blindness - is a real thing, that is especially common with autistic folks. Personally I struggle a lot with faces, but I can learn to recognize the faces of people, that I interact often with (still, sometimes I cannot recognize my partner from pictures, for example). Some people cannot learn faces at all.

      That being said, in cases like these, it is definitely racism.

        yeah I have a hard time telling apart people with similarly shaped faces, but having looked up these 3 actors, they look completely different

      Don’t forget how casually racist the average 'Murican is

      These actors barely count as humans to most of them

      And disappointingly, Silverman is fine with a slightly different group of brown humans being wiped out

        A lot of Americans just live in rural mostly white areas. I’d say most aren’t intentionally maliciously racist, but painfully ignorant.

        USAians were raised on sterotypes. We dont neccesarily think they are all bad or make people less per se.

        But we have also been raised on fear with a nationalism subtext.

        And the convolution of the two makes a lot of default bigots without a community showing humans are all just people.
