re: Is there hope for Tamil diaspora artists?

Anonymous asked:

So you are saying that there is no hope for Tamil artists in the diaspora? Do you think they are lost?

My impression is that they are disorganized, misled, and distracted. Tamil diaspora isn’t large enough to make a symbolic impact. The majority of Tamils view arts as a passive hobby. Aside from that, there is no infrastructure to house our arts. It’s not a diss or disrespect to the artists. It is just basic maths and plain facts. I could go on about this, but for now, this scene from Street Kings paints a picture of what I think about the diaspora and the self-proclaimed Tamil 'artists'.

Street Kings, Directed by David Ayer, Warner Bros., 2008.
