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. |
But are they now though?
We literally have a black pansexual in a Star Wars film and relatively anyone rational is chill with it or doesn't care to freak out about. The fact you feel we need a 'diversity quota' is quite honestly pathetic. If they are the right actor they are the right actor, no matter the race, sex, or orientation.
