re: 'Whitewashing Heroes In Hollywood Movies"

will smith reportedly forced changes to suicide squad when he got on board, and he's not white

To be fair, he was raised by the Bankses, so due to their wealth and social status most of America is confused about Will Smith's race.

The world is fricked.

I am sorry that the white man has created everything that exists and everything that people enjoy.

I am so sorry, that this is how we are thanked.

Thank you for taking us out of the stone age and in to the age of civilation white man --- thank you very much.

As your reward, every other race that you have helped will turn on you and spend all of their time trying to demean and remove you.......

from the very thing you created.

Hollywood cares about green, not black or white.

This. These actors are cast for their star appeal, not their skin color (or even their acting ability in some cases).

Constance is great on Fresh Off The Boat, but this is some faux outrage on her part.

Did we forget about all of the action movies where Jackie Chan and Jet Li played the "hero" role?

Yeah, and those are all Kung Fu movies. Its the only thing Asians can get the leading roles in most of which are made by Asians. Seriously, name on film made by Americans that doesn't star Jackie, Jet, or Bruce Lee that doesn't have anything to do with Kung Fu? The only one that pops into my mind is "Harold and Kumar" and it directly parodies this bullshite.

Sorry, but whitewashing with Asian characters is definitely a thing in Hollywood. An Asian person can not get a leading role in a movie. When blacks bitch about it these days, they're mostly full of shite, but there are very large examples every year of Asians being whitewashed for American audiences.

However, there are plenty of mainstream movies where a person of color is the "hero"

As I said, I can only think of two movies that don't involve those 3 actors listed above. Please go ahead and list one movie.

Black people can't be racist because racism is the economic, judicial, and sociopolitical system in America that keeps black people subject to the white man. Now, keep in mind that this means that if a white man in America hates a black man from Uganda, it's not racism because the black man from Uganda isn't the oppressed object of the system here in America. But, for argument's sake, we can still assume the white man is racist towards anyone who is non-white, because white men can't help it.

This was more or less what this woman explained to me. I then googled the definition the word "racist" and read it to her. She told me I was wrong, I was speechless. So now I just don't care, and I gotta say I'm a lot happier.

They are completely serious about this notion. They have been adamant about it and spoken out negatively against films that have blind characters played by sighted people!

Who told them???

That was such a great line. "I'm gonna make a movie called The Last N**** on Earth starring Tom Hanks." Paul Mooney was a very underrated part of Chapelle Show.

I don't have any issue with big budget movies with actors of any race. I have an issue with movies that are supposedly about some minority where the lead is some out of place white man or woman there to save them from themselves.

Are you saying that "Hollywood" thinks that white people won't buy movie tickets if the lead isn't white, but other races will buy tickets when the lead actor is a different race than they are? That may be true. Either way the best way to show that we don't want to see white savior movies is to not go see them.
