Trina McGee reveals racism on the set of Boy Meets World
In April of this year actress Trina McGee revealed that she dealt with racism on the set of Boy Meets World. Her character came to the show long after her castmates had been working together for years. The others had a comradery and perhaps did not want a newcomer to upset the apple cart. Based on their individual backgrounds, perhaps they had not had any direct contact with African Americans. This sounds difficult to believe for the 1990s but it very well may be true. The bottom line is that on screen, in reel time McGee's character, Angela became one of the gang and dated Corey's best friend Shawn. In real-time, however, the actress says she experienced racism and indifference from most of the cast.

"Temping"
Robert M. Massimi. Theater put forth in these peculiar times. An immersive play that involves just one person, seated at a desk and working as a temp for an actuary firm. Like going to the office, you are given a desk, a computer, a phone and of course a Brother printer. Not an easy field to work in, being thrown into a desk as a temp with no knowledge of how an actuary does his job is part of the fun. The audience member is given instructions on how to answer messages, given further instructions on the computer and receives some of the wackiest of information via the Brother.

Shaman King: Reason Makes Anna Kyoyama the Ideal Antiheroine
Every Shonen fan knows that the heroines on the shows are always sidelined from the rest of the action and are given very few opportunities. The viewers can recall watching them looking at valiant protagonists fight it out with the rivals with concern on their faces. It shows the helplessness of the heroines that is tough to watch sometimes. Even though the world has progressed a lot in the last few decades, it is depressing to watch female characters being portrayed as weak and dependent.

Things I'm Passionate About Part 6
Part 6 of this series! A neat one today! Enjoy! 1. Antiques I love antiques, my parents for example, ZING! Sorry Mom and Dad, love you. Yes, they read my work. Anyway digression; I love antiques, old relics from the past that each hold their own stories of history, whether it’s personal history or from your family, to places you might have history with or just love, to our history as a species or civilization as a whole. Not all old things are antiques, but all antiques are from the past. After reading part 5, it should come as no surprise that I love antique weapons chiefly of all; everything from a 500-year-old short-sword my Dad found at auction to old pistols and rifles from the Alamo I have my eye on. They all fascinate me and add value to my collection and net worth. As I write about antiques in the future, weapons or not, I’ll be talking about individual pieces, collections, famous antique dealers, and adrenalizing auctions. Coins are another passion of mine in this regard; a timeline of the evolution of currencies over the millennia utterly fascinates me.

My Hero Academia: Shoto Todoroki’s Unseen Flight Capabilities
The War Arc in My Hero Academia, which has put Shigaraki’s forces against the heroes, has been remarkably violent. Both heroes and villains have made sacrifices to ensure that their side wins. The brutality of the confrontation can be imagined by the fact that it is hard to even guess the death of the Arc confidently. Heroes like Gran Torino, Thirteen, Crust, and Twice are already dead, and it is impossible to put a number on civilians that must have been murder by Gigantomachia’s rampage. The current Arc has been brutal and violent; therefore, the side characters have been given little attention. Most fans have failed to notice the secrets that have been revealed by them and their character development. Shoto Todoroki is an excellent example since his latest power-up was given little attention in all the chaos that has ensued in the fight of good versus evil.

The Story Of Roxas
Kingdom Hearts as a whole is very complicated and long. I could write out the length of a term paper to explain the whole story, and it still wouldn’t make sense. One thing KH fans can’t deny is that some of the characters have the most compelling stories in the series. While, Roxas may be the other half of Sora, he is quite the opposite of him, since Sora is happy and quirky and Roxas is troubled and unsure of himself.
