Remember that amazing movie about spelling bees: "Akeelah and the Bee?" You might not remember the controversy over the representation of gangs in the black community, and Tiger parents in the Asian American community. Also, we talk about Zoe Saldana in Star Trek and female representation in media.

Was the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer (the one where Zoe Saldana didn't talk) sexist?? Samantha may or may not lose her feminism card for this one...
