Care to examine history for the last 2000 years?

Was she offended when Idris Elba played a Norse God in Thor?

I mean I don't disagree fully, it is imbalanced and can seem odd like this film, however, all of the other minorities and smaller populations will go see a Matt Damon film way before most other stars.
If people don't go see Matt Damon films, we'll stop getting Matt Damon in films. If they want different leads, then don't go see any film with a lead you don't like and encourage the people around you to do the same. Then support the leads you do like and want. Hollywood is going to follow the money, not the feelings.
But be honest, Freaux, how often do American film studios give Asian actors even a chance at a leading role? Why not throw the dice at least once and have someone like Steven Yeun the chance to star in a film? I mean, shite, there are movies made every fricking year with gay main characters; why not try it with Asians, especially considering they're the actual majority of the world.

she serious? Did we forget about all of the action movies where Jackie Chan and Jet Li played the "hero" role? I mean, if she was talking strictly about the movie The Great Wall, I could see her point. However, there are plenty of mainstream movies where a person of color is the "hero"
Meh, Hollywood has been terrible with this shite forever. I am with her on this one. Theye had white people play all kinds of roles, indians (dot), Indians (feather), middle easterners, Latin as middle eastern, etc.
Using Jackie Chan and Jet LI doesn't really help your point either, as they can only be cast as Asian kung fu stars, lol.
