The Cargo Hold

Just a nerd in her 20s trying to figure out life and all that shit. I'm a lover of theatre, film, and all things Whedon. Also a proud Gryffindor.

Feel free to ask any questions you like :)

The Bechdel Test and Race in Popular Fiction

crystalsavestheday:

1. It has to have two POC in it.

2. Who talk to each other.

3. About something other than a white person.

No Joss Whedon show passes, neither does Supernatural, or Being Human.

Veronica Mars passes, but doesn’t pass the original Bechdel Test.

Check out a few more here.
