Maybe we shouldn’t be, but we hate division and only want to reconcile and live in love with those around us. I hope you can expound more upon your statements so that we can either learn from them or communicate better what might be not understood. We care deeply about the many colors God has given us to see Him with and hope that someday statements like yours will not be necessary.

Even though you have passed judgement on us via a show that you don’t watch, can you please, please help us understand what you mean by stating that you’re “not surprised” that we would opt to ignore [the skin diversity in Portland] just because we allow those who believe different from our views to work with us? It just doesn’t make sense and it seems pretty clear that these are statements from someone who does not know us or our students.

I have never heard of this show “Portlandia” so was curious to see what the fuss was about. I see most have given it a thumbs up to have the film crew film on Multnomah campus & a few prophets have voice concern about that as they should. Well I watched at least 5 of their 2 to 3 minuet mini clips & their sing a long opening & was not impressed. I guess I’m just not surprised that Multnomah would do this since they have never been cultural aware of the diversity that has existed in Portland for years. Portland has been rich with diversity in the form of the Native Indians Community, African American Community, African Community & Asian Community for years & now the Large Mexican American Community around Multnomah. So I am not surprised that Multnomah would opt for diversity of Gays, Lesbian, Transgender & the bisexual community that is portrayed in this show.

I am sure that this was a much-discussed decision by the school’s leadership. With that said, I am glad that Multnomah is showing hospitality and the Portland spirit to Armisen and company.

I hope that this is a benchmark for increased cultural and creative engagement on the part of Multnomah’s staff and students.

Is this really the same MBC I graduated from? I think the RA’s would have written me up for WATCHING Portlandia let alone being in it. Way to grow with the times Multnomah.

PORTLANDIA: SEASON 3
Congratulations you’ve been considered to be an extra for a sketch on Portlandia Season: 3!

Before you confirm, I need you to make sure that you are absolutely available for Monday July 16th and you are on a volunteer basis, that means pro bono, free! But the good news is that means you get to laugh a lot…like side-splitting fun, like the kind of laughing that could possibly put you in the hospital. But it’s laugh at your own risk type work.

And hey you get to say “I was in that episode of Portlandia, ain’t that the bees knees!!!”
I appreciate you volunteering your time! We at Portlandia appreciate it!

Also, remember that scheduling could change at any moment. Even right after you get this email!! We would love for you to stay as long as you can. We would love that you commit to at least 4 hours.

Remember in order to be an extra you must be willing to sign:
1. An appearance release form granting the show permission to use the footage of you.
2. A Non-disclosure agreement. This means no photos or video or secrets are to be shared off set. We want to make sure our fans get to be surprised!!

No problem, we’re not offended. We’ve heard much worse and it wasn’t in good-natured fun like yours. At least it was funny! Sorry you’re working those long hours, though.

We’re ready for the push back and we encourage this kind of healthy debate over things like this. We expect people to speak their minds and we know that this little venture is a little different for most of us.
