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.

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?
