... first in the corporation’s history to have a cast entirely made up of people of colour.

And so the trend continues. Racism is bad, unless it is good racism. Discrimination is bad, unless it is good discrimination.

In the early days of Hollywood they would make movies with the cast all being “ people of color”. These were made for theaters in the south that were for “colored people” only.

Just when you think we are making progress we fall back into tribalism.

The program will most likely be successful since there is a large population from India in the United Kingdom.

“Green Pastures” was certainly an exception; an exceptionally good picture made in 1936 that opened in New York.
