Please provide evidence of my skin color.
That absolutely depended on the studio. Some of them were segregated, some weren’t.
I assume you’re saying that because you’ve seen the film and know that the racism of Hollywood absolutely doesn’t play a factor in it in any way, right? You wouldn’t just be making assumptions about a film which won’t come out until next year, would you?
Do it another 10,000 times and you’ll get this badge.
Holy shit, you’re flooding the entire comments section. Stop it, you nut!
Yeah, it’s almost like it was a deliberate stylistic choice in that case or something...
So you’d be okay with any anachronism in any movie as long as it’s clearly fiction? No problems with, for example, a Robin Hood movie where he wins the archery contest with a machine gun? Or an adaptation of Last of the Mohicans where Hawkeye rides a roller coaster?
Can you please post this definition again. I haven't seen it enough times in this thread.
Which to me indicates that these people should absolutely be white, since POCs in fact received so few opportunities that they had to be given special awards. I mean...right?
I mentioned this in another comment... in 1946, James Baskett won an Oscar for playing Uncle Remus in Song of the South. It was a special category invented just for him because black actors didn’t win Oscars.
That’s a perfectly reasonable question to me.
I thought the same thing, to be honest. I mean back then, there really weren’t that many black actors of prominence.
This is exactly what I was thinking! And you said it more eloquently than I would have been able to.
Favorite Clooney role, not even lying: Batman.
Can I ask a question that might get me in trouble?
My bad habit is I’ll sometimes describe someone who’s black without acknowledging race, instead of just saying, “oh the black guy over there.”
Same!

Aw, thanks! That’s not to say I can’t be a raging dick, either, but I like to unleash the fury only when it’s truly necessary. That allows it to build and be more ragey.
