But it would be racist to have posters of white actors replacing black actors in movies. So why is this okay?

An odd thing I’ve learned: If a movie has black, indian, asian white, you name it, actors in it, race is pretty much irrelevant regarding whether I’m going to like the movie. But if the entire cast is black, with maybe a token white person, I know I’m not going to like it.

It’s not that I’m racist. It’s that the movie’s sensibilities are based on a culture different than mine. i.e. it’s just not interesting. And if everything was the same, except the actors are white, it would be the same thing. That is, the all black cast and cultural baseline for the movie go hand in hand. And it’s never a culture I can relate to. So the movie is not a positive entertainment experience.

i.e. as usual, it’s not race. It’s culture.

Hollywood can virtue signal about diversity, but in reality they know that no white people would have gone to see Titanic with two black leads.

The racism arrow only points one way.

Oh, I’m on this bandwagon. I don’t want to see pale faces any more! Kids, your skin color is inferior and don’t you forget it! White is NOT beautiful! Replace all these white people!

Do I get it? Just trying to be hip and correct. Will let my kids know they aren’t beautiful because they have inferior pale skin. And help me explain how that matters.

“vandal advertising”

Well, that's a pretty accurate descriptor.

Symbolic of what they want to do to Whites. After taking their money, of course.

I simply reject the concept of diversity out of hand, the concept that simply having a wider range of cultures and colors by itself improves something.

I reject it as Leftist stupidity at best, and Leftist malignancy at worst.

If I even get a sniff of it, I avoid it like the plague. I just saw a preview for “Fahrenheit 451”, and it looks like exactly that. Not interested.

Yup - let’s start replacing Rosa Parks and Malcolm X pics... In fact, let’s start portraying the Obamas as white people.

I was going to suggest updating Spike Lee's movie to "Do the White Thing" but Jimmy Kimmel did it a few years ago to show Brooklyn after extensive gentrification.

I wonder if the movie industry in Africa features a lot of white people in lead roles.

In fact, I wonder if there even is a movie industry in Africa.

Wouldn't it be cultural appropriation for black people to star in an industry created by white people.

I suppose if this keeps up we'll have to demand that more white people be allowed to create rap songs.

“’If you are surprised it means you don’t see enough black people in major roles,’ says the group, many of whom are teenagers.”

Plenty of black films being made in Nollywood. This is the Nigerian Hollywood where many cheap movies are made. But they make over 1500 films a year.

Likewise, Bollywood, the Hollywood equivalent in India is predominantly casted with “Indian people of color.” They produce nearly 2000 films per years.

And there are sizable film markets and productions around the globe.

China is actually the largest film market.

The reason Hollywood produces films that feature more white people is because these movies are in greater demand, except for Chinese characters. But China restricts the amount of foreign-produced films that can be shown in their theaters.
