Probably true. And that's a worrying development for white people. I wonder does this happen in bollywood. "Oh not another Gruff Indian playing the roll of an Indian for a film based in India." open to correction but I doubt it. |
You have colorism topics in India where leads are always favoured towards fairer actors & the topic just recently came up in the casting of Jasmin in Alladin (although not Bollywood).
The crux is that the US is a melting pot where white people are actually on a verge of becoming out numbered by the collective "minorities". Thus race s a topic of content when these other minorities are not represented or poorly represented. Whereas India/China etc are vastly homogeneous and so its not expected that their films will be lead by non-indian/chinese actors.
And no its absolutely not a worrying development for white people but at this point the topic isn't really deserving of more of my time. I'll leave you with this, just look at the amount of games just released with white leads and ask yourself if there is really a "worrying" development for white people. Remember also that you're just obsessing over one line (removed from context of the review which is actual praising the game), its not like this game is receiving any meaning backlash anywhere in the world. Just go to the movies, look at TV, turn on the news etc and you will see plenty of white faces. If at the flick of a wrist we saw 10% less white leads than what we're used to, that would atcually be more reflective of what the US actually looks like, if thats worrying to you then there lays your issue.
