C: Ghost in the Shell Is Racist in Unexpected Ways (would make an interesting double feature with Get Out) Mar 31, 08:32
which apparently is one reason WB is chasing Peele for Akira. or they could just cast the roles appropriately {nm} Mar 31, 09:07
They did. They put a good looking girl in a role she deserves {nm} Mar 31, 12:52
you think we're taking this racism thing too far... Mar 31, 09:34
we aren't anywhere remotely in the vicinity of "far" in dealing with white America's racism {nm} Mar 31, 09:56
There's no "contorting" to see what's plain in sight. A Tokyo where Japanese people is a minority. A Japanese woman LITERALLY Mar 31, 09:58
name one example of the negative that you're saying exists (white actor taking a traditionally non-white role) {nm} Mar 31, 11:02
liz banks in power rangers {nm} Mar 31, 11:03
isnt Ghost in the shell another example? Scarlett playing Major Motoko Kusanagi, I dont know Manga stuff??? {nm} Mar 31, 11:06
miles teller playing latin vinny pazienza (bleed for this) {nm} Mar 31, 11:11
these are not on the same level as Barbie or Spiderman, sorry {nm} Mar 31, 11:15
well we havent switched up barbie or spiderman yet.... so whats your point {nm} Mar 31, 11:22
They did in the comics. Even did it to Ironman {nm} Mar 31, 12:54
Because white people have been taking the roles of underrepresented minorities hundred of years, but not vice versa. {nm} Mar 31, 11:30
so now its time to exact revenge & exclude white people? {nm} Mar 31, 11:41
No, casting POC to play roles created as POC would just be a start. That's not exclusion. {nm} Mar 31, 11:47
Casting a POC to play a fictional white character would then be just leveling the acting field. {nm} Mar 31, 11:51
im upset that british emma watson was cast to play a french belle, i must protest my disgust! {nm} Mar 31, 12:01
geez you really have it out for white people dmac {nm} Mar 31, 12:04
I don't how wanting equality and fairness is "having it out for white people". {nm} Mar 31, 12:09
Because you want to exclude white people from being able to play characters that were traditionally a POC Mar 31, 12:15
Nope, I never said white people should be excluded and those roles can only be played by POC. {nm} Mar 31, 12:19
Wanting POC to play roles written for POC is not coming at the expense of white people. {nm} Mar 31, 12:22
And how is that not? {nm} Mar 31, 12:47
Though again, we still have Peter Parker and white Barbie. They're not excluded. {nm} Mar 31, 11:47
Racism would be casting based on race, not on what will generate the most profit... Mar 31, 10:17
This post proves my point. {nm} Mar 31, 10:28
if anything it proves you're racist {nm} Mar 31, 10:32
don't mean to make it a personal attack on you . . . just the fact this is being discussed means those who bring it up are racist. Mar 31, 10:34
they need to look deep inside...they have a lot of hate, sad. {nm} Mar 31, 10:35
No, it just proves you should be asking yourself some obvious questions. Mar 31, 10:41
Fresh of the boat is seeming to do really well, its one of my favorite sitcoms on tv at the moment. Mar 31, 12:11
But paraphrasing, that's "yes, but not yet" {nm} Mar 31, 12:25
What's disgusting is how much stupid is out there, especially amongst white people. Mar 31, 10:35
that white guilt runs deep {nm} Mar 31, 11:02
No that's not it. {nm} Mar 31, 11:06
this isn't about people's own personal experiences. this is about persistent discrimination on a systemic level {nm} Mar 31, 12:38
nobody has to feel guilty about remedying past discrimination. just do it and be happy {nm} Mar 31, 11:50
No one has to remedy anything. Dont blame the current generation for prior generations mistakes. {nm} Mar 31, 12:17
Dude, hit the nail right on the head. {nm} Mar 31, 12:57
It is absolutely AMAZING that Rollingthunder hasn't said a damn thing about this. {nm} Mar 31, 18:52
