This one's a classic.
You know what, Jordan?
Cast whomever you want, and whomever best embodies the characters you wish to feature.
You want to make black horror? Then make it. I don’t think that there is enough good black horror out there anyway.
I have a dream, that someday a Man will be able to live in this country and be judged not by the color of his Skin but by the content of his Character.
I don’t see myself seeing any Jordan Peele movies. No loss.
Movies these days go for Diversity with no story

Jordan is half white.
The biggest “black” horror movie was produced by LBJ and has been running for over 50 years.
I don’t see me watching any of his movies. He can make any movie he wants - I just won’t watch it.
Oh him! Had to look him up.
Well, whatever floats your boat and I ain’t mad; hope that’s not what you were aiming for.
Best of luck, make interesting movies, and don’t call anyone racist if they don’t come out to watch.
Doesn’t sound racist to me. You go with what you know. If he can make a good horror movie better because he’s black and using blacks, good for him. I liked “Get Out” — especially the skewering done on the white liberal facade of equality — and I’m willing to give this one a shot.
he can make his movies about black, white, red, purple, green, blue...I don’t care...I haven’t been to a movie in over ten years and don’t plan to go again...If there is something I want to see, I’ll wait six months and watch it on TV...AT NO COST...
I understand how he meant it, I have no problem with it. Success of movies like this are proof that America is far, far less racist than liberals make it out to be.
Peele’s last movie, “Get Out” portrayed whites as not just racists, but obsessed with black people, and having a desperate inner desire to be black themselves. It was an OK movie with a few interesting plot twists, but as far as it’s Oscar wins, they were definitely “Affirmative Action” awards. Seeing the trailer for this movie, “Us”, it doesn’t seem like the kind of film I would watch until it is free on Netflix or Prime, just like “Get Out”. I don’t think it really matters in this type of flick what color the actors are, but based on the director, I suspect he will slip in racist or social justice themes to garner more award votes.
So what?
Since every ad on TV now has mostly Black actors, the Black horror movie barely registered on my memory.
I have also noticed that a majority of the couples on Carnival Cruise ads are suddenly inter-racial.
The most over-the-top Affirmative Action fantasy ads have to be the recent avalanche of Black families with a calm, mature, loving, financially successful Black father.
70% of USA Black kids grow up in a father-less family, but Hollywood and Madison Avenue want me to believe this crap?
This one's a classic.
Jordan Peele, “I see myself discriminating against white people.”
Just film every movie three times with a white, brown & black cast.
It is really no big deal. Let people choose.
Let freedom ring.
The right to free assembly includes skin color.
He is and so are his movies.
This is against the EEOC and his butt needs to be sued into oblivion.
Here - let’s try a thought experiment where Clint Eastwood says “I don’t see myself casting black dudes in movies - not that I got anything against black dudes. Why a black dude is my friend.”
Yeah...
