Writing the Fake Casting Email as a 'Non-Binary South Asian Woman'
from Tim's Big Audition with Chris Distefano | The Tim Dillon Show #308 · #308
7 min
Tim dictates a joke email application to Ben for the Heartstopper role, claiming fake South Asian non-binary bona fides, love of gulab jamun and Hasan Minhaj, and a plan to wear brownface 'tastefully,' signing off with an absurd list of political commitments.
- Tim reads the casting call's equal opportunity language and immediately points out the contradiction with their specific physical requirements.
- If the casting director was honest, they'd just post a picture of Pumbaa from The Lion King to show what the person needs to look like.
- Tim starts drafting the fake email by claiming to be over 18, overweight, and over not being on the show.
- To prove his bona fides as a South Asian non-binary person, Tim includes love of gulab jamun and Hasan Minhaj's Homecoming King on Netflix.
- The skills Tim brings to the role are being fat.
- Tim states he will need to put on brown makeup tastefully to avoid accusations of doing brownface.
- When people realize Tim is actually a non-binary South Asian woman, they will forgive the brownface makeup.
- The email signature identifies Tim Dillon as a non-binary male presenting South Asian woman committed to fat activism, equality, equity, and inclusivity.
- Tim adds commitments to communism and overthrowing the heteronormative, violent, oppressive petro narco state to the list of causes.
- The subject line for the submission is "Tim Dillon submission but your lucky day."
