Jan. 23rd, 2017 12:33 am Man I'm all for diverse media but I don't think it means seeing put-upon and exploited Chinese people in a british period drama just to show they exist in the early twentieth century with badly written Chinese banners.
Not to say they didn't exist as exploited people in early twentieth century post-WWI Britain but they don't even have lines, man.
So so this is me watching Peaky Blinders on Netflix cuz I liked period dramas like Send in the Midwife and The Bletchley Circle. Although I guess it shows that western male period dramas have diametrically opposed themes sometimes.
