Only to u. There are a lot more whites currently then blacks so it only makes sense more whites would get more roles then blacks.
But in the future as more and more integration of culture is present and passed to each generation then all this will go by the way side. Right now ur statements are saying there has to be more blacks and less white. Therefore that is the definition of racism You are exhibiting. I don't here Hispanics or Asians harping about all this.
THR: Elizabeth Banks to play villain in Power Rangers [MMPR] Feb 02, 09:07
I like Banks and looks like a role she can have a lot of fun with. {nm} Feb 02, 09:14
Whitewashing. {nm} Feb 02, 09:41
severely...Lucy Liu in O-Ren mode would've been perfect. {nm} Feb 02, 09:44
It's not really racism as much as it is bottom-lineism. Which leads to disenfranchisement. Feb 02, 10:32
EBANK isn't a bankable name. The movie will do just as well with Liu or how about Olivia Munn. {nm} Feb 02, 11:17
Yeah, you'd need to offer some proof for that kind of statement. Feb 02, 13:24
WOSHM $39,751 You can't count Hunger Games, she was just "tagging" along. {nm} Feb 02, 13:45
ok, then you cant count kung fu panda for liu. She was just voicing a small part. {nm} Feb 02, 13:52
Agreed. EBANK isn't any more bankable than an Asian actress in the part. {nm} Feb 02, 14:02
WOSHM actually did $59M lifetime. $39M was OW. But I think you underestimate her draw from HG and PP. Feb 02, 13:56
Where are you getting Millions? $39,751 $59,209 Feb 02, 14:02
Force of habit with BO numbers. {nm} Feb 02, 20:10
yep, her along with many others in supporting roles helped make HGAME what it was. Feb 02, 15:00
Stop putting racism into everything. U will always say that when any white actor does good now. Feb 02, 09:46
If they'd have cast a black actor to play a villain you'd have been shouting about 'stereotyping'. {nm} Feb 02, 09:51
It's only racism to u. She got the part based on her job and skills of being an actor. YOU are making something Feb 02, 09:54
its racist to think this character can be played by a white person. Feb 02, 09:55
That character was based on Witch Bandora - a Japanese Actress. You could say they 'blacked her up' for the US version. Feb 02, 10:05
She has also been played by Julia Cortez in the first movie and Carla Perez on the TV series. {nm} Feb 02, 10:08
In theory, they can explain the change in ethnicity with one line of dialogue but it still sucks {nm} Feb 02, 10:18
All the actors in power rangers were asian.... you know before they brought the show to the USA.... Feb 02, 10:54
FYI, N.W.A are all African-Americans. {nm} Feb 02, 09:55
No duh sherlock. There's the racism. Even roles made for white in the future have been cast and fulfilled Feb 02, 09:58
Besides, the movie itself sucked. {nm} Feb 02, 09:58
You obviously don't understand the concept racism. {nm} Feb 02, 09:59
You are exhibiting it a lot since the academy awards. {nm} Feb 02, 10:00
That's progress, because minorities were traditionally underrepresented in Superhero Comics. {nm} Feb 02, 10:00
Well Based On Ur STATEMENT Then BLACK Panther SHOULD Be white {nm} Feb 02, 10:01
No, based on my statement, that's the opposite of progress. {nm} Feb 02, 10:04
It's not progress if you force people to cast minorities even though there is a better actor. Feb 02, 10:06
Your use of the term "A Black" here: "are saying only put a black in there" is the most racist thing I've seen today. {nm} Feb 02, 10:07
And that was used based off what antibody is preaching. {nm} Feb 02, 10:09
I think he's saying that a lot of these comics were made in the early to mid 1900's, when racism.. Feb 02, 10:12
And I understand that. But when one says more minorities need to get roles then the whole fairness of Feb 02, 10:15
Not only minorities but all should get a fair shot {nm} Feb 02, 10:22
Hollywood history shows that the best person for the part is usually white. That's definition of racism. {nm} Feb 02, 10:09
Only to u. There are a lot more whites currently then blacks so it only makes sense more whites would get more roles then blacks. Feb 02, 10:13
History is all in the past. The future is changing but when all u do is scream and whine about racism you stop progress {nm} Feb 02, 10:20
The future is changing because minorities scream and whine for progress. {nm} Feb 02, 10:23
They stood up for a ligitimate claim back in those times. {nm} Feb 02, 10:32
But I'm done discussing with you. {nm} Feb 02, 10:34
And I think Jordan did a great job. But the story itself ruined that movie {nm} Feb 02, 10:01
Is the villain part in MMPR Ã minority role ??? And does that concept even exist ??? Puzzled {nm} Feb 02, 09:56
New Oscar categories: best actor, actress, supp actor, actress in a minority role {nm} Feb 02, 10:03
Best song composed by a minority composer, best adapted script adaptation by a minority writer {nm} Feb 02, 10:05
Is it whitewashing too when a white person gets a job as a gaffer ? Puzzled by this Elisabeth Banks thread {nm} Feb 02, 10:09
How come no one comments on ur stuff lol {nm} Feb 02, 10:10
:) {nm} Feb 02, 10:35
Looking at the casting, 4 out of the 5 Rangers are minority. Feb 02, 09:56
Good, and I look forward to seeing how they portray each role with an open mind. {nm} Feb 02, 09:59
Yes, as was the TV series. {nm} Feb 02, 09:59
+1 better off not reading this ****ty board {nm} Feb 02, 10:24
I agree with u. This should all be off this board. I come here to play a game and read about upcoming movies Feb 02, 10:18
It definitely seems to be a 'dog-whistle' issue at the moment. {nm} Feb 02, 10:20
It's interesting that the game-master turns out to be the whistler {nm} Feb 02, 10:34
somebody should be. he's not the only one who wants more representation of diversity in movies though {nm} Feb 02, 10:37
Well explain how the Wiz is a representation of diversity then when the casting call only calls for blacks {nm} Feb 02, 10:39
Again, your siting examples of things created BECAUSE there was a lack of inclusion in things like Wizard of Oz. {nm} Feb 02, 10:44
AGAIN, wizard of Oz was created in the past when things were that way. This is the future. The Wiz has created Feb 02, 10:46
Now that sure does sound like rasicm thinking. You are stating "I have something and you should not because you Feb 02, 10:49
You are completely missing the purpose of progress and change for the better and regressing into bitterness saying Feb 02, 10:50
You'll never understand this concept, because you've obviously never been on the receiving end of oppression. {nm} Feb 02, 10:56
Haha cop-out. U haven't either. {nm} Feb 02, 10:57
I have indeed. Ignorance must be blissful for you. Good luck to yourself and Trump in 2016. {nm} Feb 02, 10:58
See, you again exhibit racism by assuming I'm white because I don't drink your coolaid Feb 02, 11:00
Plus I wouldn't vote for Hillary even if he'll was freezing over. That old bag of bones will ruin America with her lies {nm} Feb 02, 11:01
Casting a movie role is movie news. Discussing the motivation for the choice is not. {nm} Feb 02, 10:39
+1 {nm} Feb 02, 10:40
I disagree that the motivation for casting is not movie news. it certainly is. More knowledge is great for everyone {nm} Feb 02, 10:43
Like Pan. {nm} Feb 02, 10:52
How many moral points are you up with all these social justice posts? {nm} Feb 02, 11:42
Good lord the racism comments got out of hand way too fast. She clearly was the best big-name actress for the job. Feb 02, 11:15
