"Nowadays, people are talking about it more," he says regarding film diversity. But "things either call for things, or they don’t. I remember back when I was a child watching The Brady Bunch and they started to get all politically correct. Like, OK, let’s have an Asian child and a black. I used to get more offended by that than just... I grew up watching blaxploitation movies, right? And I said, that’s great. I didn’t go like, OK, there should be more white people in these movies."

I wish they would go with what in the text more often.

So whites can’t be have their own movie but any minority can? Is this equal rights now?

I agree. People liked the book - whichever book - or it wouldn’t be popular. Why give them something totally different in a movie?
