You could do infinitely more if the cast was more diverse. Imagine the issues that would arise between the characters. It really has nothing to with accuracy because if there is one thing I know as a 30 something year old who’s been watching TV and film all his life, the industry accuracy is always sacrificed for…

“Vikings are really, really white.”

Of course you know what I mean. When they cast for a role are they actively excluding POC and women by only giving white male actors a chance? Despite SV tech companies being really white and male there is nothing about most of the characters that make them definable as white men. I’m not saying the have to cast a POC…

Why? Historically race and nationality have been mapped on each other. Go back 80 years and folks were talking about the English race, the German race, the French race, the Japanese race, etc. Race is a category of relation and is a pretty empty concept(It comes from the Latin word for “class”) so it can refer to many…

It’s pretty reductive to assume that two similar phenomenons are due to the same process. One doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the other. You’re ignoring what makes them unique. You think the attitudes of Trumps followers are new? What do you know about American history.

Yeah, because America is JUST like Europe. I mean, there is even a legacy of slavery and a large population of those slaves descendants living in Europe as a visible minority! Oh, no, there isn’t.

Racial categories are ethnic as well. Or Ethnicity is sometimes a subset of race. However, the pretty much function the same.

Why can’t people acknowledge their heritage without it seeming like they are trying to distance themselves from their African ancestry. That’s erasure due to insecurity.

That’s not uncommon among African-Americans as well.

There IS a difference between Afro-American and Dominican or Caribbean. I hate how people don’t acknowledge this difference. Afro-latinos are real, sure, but they aren’t African-American. I hate the erasure of ethnic difference.

There is no set number. They could just go for colorblind casting.

Are they turning away women and POC actors in order to maintain that “authenticity”? If so, that’s plain discrimination.

Why would it be offensive? Btw, you ever see the movie Frog Dreaming?

No more abusive than forcing your kids to go to church or even school. She’s being socialized into the world of her parents. It sucks for her, just like church and school sucks but I think it’s fair.

Are you suggesting that farming started in Europe first? You need to go back to history revising.

Like in Ladyhawke? It didn’t go over so well.

“Security, metro, postal and TSA workers are the contemporary film equivalent of maids and butlers in early Hollywood. Always played by minorities, always shown in a mediocre light.”

The everyman only works when they are the main protagonists. Zeddemore was the main protagonist(if anything that was Venkman) and I’m sure Jone’s character won’t be the main protagonist here either.

How can you say this when in the US you have so many options in regards to supermarkets. Have you really done a scientific comparison?

This all depends on where you shop. If you want super fresh veggies and fruits in the US most cities have those options. In many places you can also get really fresh milk as well.
