How are you not getting this!?

87% of the population is NOT BLACK, which means that 63% of the NOT BLACK BP audience was an UNDERREPRESENTATION of other races!

E) This movie was set in Africa and the same or higher inverse repressentation.

F) Why are you celebrating the standard!?

G) Are you trolling or ignorant?

E) that should not affect the writers, producers or directors. They werent African, they were African-American - pretty big difference no? Any other race could have worked those positions. And again, higher representation isnt the issue. The issue is that representation was obscenely high with the primary purpose of being a cultural statement.

F) Currently only the "non standard" as you put it can be celebrated. White straight males cannot celebrate those aspect of their identities. Personally I dont care because I'm not even part of a majority group, and I reject identity politics. My problem is one of principle. Either all groups and lasses can celebrate their identities or none should. Clearly you cannot celebrate being a certain class, gender, orientation or race without being a racist, homophone or sexist so equality does not exist.

Also regarding your point about 63% being underrepresented - that's not how it works. What the left has set up is a white vs minority paradigm where a win for any minority group is a win for all minority groups. 

E) The movie is literally about an isolationist African nation who refuses to interact with the outside world, and your gripe is that it was created by African-Americans? Meanwhile, you're perfectly okay with nearly every other movie being created by nearly all-white staffs? Curious stance.

F) Why would you celebrate what is already normal? Do you celebrate every paycheck, but never a raise? Every sunset, but never an eclipse? Every regular season win, but never a championship? If you do, know that you're not human, because mental fatigue is a human reaction. You do know that you can celebrate all identities without being offended by them celebrating their own, right? You do know that dog whistles, like "white power" or "all lives matter" are things, right? You could...just choose to accept people for who they are and live and let live, which most libertarians pretend to espouse.

Regarding the 63%, I'm not sure what part of the math is confusing to you. You just seemed to offer not meaningful clarification and then spout a "colorblind," actually hyper-political talking point.
