These people won't be satisfied until only non-white actors are allowed to be hired for acting roles.

Could even start a soccer team in South America...

Someone, with ‘smartest person in the room’ literary status, needs to tell the race snowflakes that the party is over and to STFU.

Well...a lot of these movies do happen to be directed by ‘woke’ elitist (white) liberals. I haven’t seen the film, but I haven’t appreciated a lot of modern spins on classics...So there is a suffocating nature to them that even I observe. They don’t feel as universal and timeless as say...”It’s a Wonderful Life”

And I do think it unfortunate that more substantive films aren’t set in different milieus. I think most portrayals of icons like MLK Jr. have been mediocre and uncomplex at best..and there are lots of stories about historic African-American figures which have yet to be told on screen and whose lives wouldn’t be able to fit neatly into a woke secular-progressive agenda.

I would also appreciate more ancient/Biblical epics with mediterranean/middle eastern/israeli actors, etc...

Gabon is too black.
Congo is too black.
Tanzania is too black.

Why stop there? All of the women should be transgender blacks. They should reveal their genitals at the end of the movie just to prove it. And the guy should be a homosexual Peruvian who gets in a lip lock with a random homo Japanese baseball player, because (don’t you know?) all Japanese baseball players are homos.

I’m fascinated that Bob Odenkirk is in “Little Women”. It just doesn’t seem to fit.

In any case, I’m torn between seeing the movie and not. It’s been my favorite book since I was nine years old. I hate what Hollywood does to literature. My sister took her nine-year-old granddaughter to see it, and they liked it.

They complain that this is too white. They complain about Tom Sawyer with Injun Joe and Jim, who’s black. Are they EVER happy?

Talented black actors get tons of roles, and are highly successful. Samuel Jackson, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, Michael B. Jordan, Morgan Freeman, Cuba Gooding Jr., Wesley Snipes, Forest Whitaker, etc., and that's just a partial list of the males. These are some of my favorite actors. This is ridiculous.

This article brings to mind the scene in “True Romance” where Christopher Walker has a rather unpleasant conversation with Dennis Hopper - just before Walken shoots Hopper in the face. Someone should ask the writer if a Sicilian is non white enough. Still technically Caucasian and looks as described like Laurie in the book

It's a historical piece. The critics are racist.

It’s a period piece. So I guess they should just make it up.

These people won’t be satisfied until all white people are subjugated, imprisoned or dead.

I think Oprah’s show and her company and her productions are too black.

Furthermore, so is the Congressional Black Caucus.
