Margaret Cho

Margaret Cho brought up a big point in her comedy act. The point she made is that pop culture has a certain look that they are chasing after. She was forced to go and change her physical appearance in order to appeal to the snobs on Hollywood. She did do it to some extent, but soon realized that destroying your individuality to fit in is not worth potentially dyeing over. She had a lot of strength to turn her back on them. She is a good role model for minorities in this country. She is an advocate of your rights to your own humanity. We should accept people for who they are and not be so hung up on conforming to a set "American" image. She wasn't even "Asian" enough at one point and had to see an Asian expert. Hollywood is ridiculous. They have just about everyone in the country caught in their game. It is unjust that all the fake people in Hollywood are the role models and images that most people look up to in this country. It's so fake. People should be celebrating themselves and discovering their own individuality and not trying to be the next anorexic movie star.
