Poor you. Having to emphathize with people who look different from you when colored people/women have been asked to do that for 50+ fucking years of Hollywood films. How awful for you. 

It's like hearing a person who's only ever flown first class complain about flying in second class once or twice a year with other people. 

I like how when faced with explicit evidence of identity politics, your response is to regress to baiting me into a pedantic argument. It feels like vindication.

Equality (or even the movement towards that) will always elicit the response of feeling oppressed by the privileged. You wanna hear someone whine and complain? Put them in 5 star hotels all their life and then ask them to stay in a 3 star hotel for a weekend and right on cue ...

Of course it's not "identity politics" when every character in a movie is white. That doesn't require any special explanation and everyone should just go with that. If a person is black in a major role or something other than the "norm" they must "explain" why they are there. Never mind how many actors of a different ethnicity in Hollywood have been black balled and locked out of roles for decades due to ridiculous casting policies.
