"Hollywood's identity crisis: Actors, writers and producers warn of 'reverse racism'

[HereticBD]

It's great to be Black, and that's why more of those leading roles will be played by Black Actors.

No they won't. Hollywood is all about the bottom line. They can wax poetic all day long about "diversity", but I assure you, the white leading man isn't going anywhere. Especially with the Chinese market being integral to their profits. Don't look to Hollywood to set examples. They're full of shit, and after this pandemic, they'll be taking less and less chances.

we still taking responsibility or nah?

 

[Javelina]

"Don't be a jerk" pretty much covers everything.

Being a racist=being a jerk
Being mean to people=being a jerk
Don't be a jerk.

being a jerk = asshole

There are enough white actors, producers, writers, etc. to just make their own fucking films. If other groups want to segregate, then so be it. Set up your own tent and continue to do your work.

That's a fair idea but it won't happen. They would get called out for their lack of diversity which is a death knell for the careers of those in liberal echo chambers like Hollywood.

Well there is really only 7 stories.

Overcoming the Monster
Definition: The protagonist sets out to defeat an antagonistic force (often evil) which threatens the protagonist and/or protagonist's homeland.

Rags to Riches
Definition: The poor protagonist acquires power, wealth, and/or a mate, loses it all and gains it back, growing as a person as a result.

The Quest
Definition: The protagonist and companions set out to acquire an important object or to get to a location. They face temptations and other obstacles along the way.

Voyage and Return
Definition: The protagonist goes to a strange land and, after overcoming the threats it poses or learning important lessons unique to that location, they return with experience.

Comedy
Definition: Light and humorous character with a happy or cheerful ending; a dramatic work in which the central motif is the triumph over adverse circumstance, resulting in a successful or happy conclusion. Booker stresses that comedy is more than humor. It refers to a pattern where the conflict becomes more and more confusing, but is at last made plain in a single clarifying event. The majority of romance films fall into this category.

Tragedy
Definition: The protagonist is a hero with a major character flaw or great mistake which is ultimately their undoing. Their unfortunate end evokes pity at their folly and the fall of a fundamentally good character.

Rebirth
Definition: An event forces the main character to change their ways and often become a better individual.

you forgot #8: porn - people mostly fuck in these films

O so calling you out for false statements and challenging to you quote me is ignoring an argument?

If social mobility is something that is accessible to everyone, why is the wealth gap growing?

because they are indolent and don't have the business acumen?

 

[Philo-Publius]

There are plenty of minority actors, who don't like the divisive rhetoric either, that would follow them.

Whites own the majority of U.S wealth, and over representation due to chattel Slavery, Jim Crow, Redlining, etc so yea white guys will get roles including leads, nobody argued against that but people who are anti Black, or feel entitled, will have a difficult time this century.

 

[MMABrooklyn]

Source?

Majority of white Americans are workers not entrepreneurs.

you sound like a racist bud

 

[MMABrooklyn]

Says the guy who called Black people lazy.

"This statistic shows the rate of new entrepreneurial activity per 100,000 adults in the United States from 2000 to 2018. In 2018, the rate of new entrepreneurs in the U.S. was 0.32 percent, or 320 individuals per 100,000 adults"

^^That's not racist

Hollywood representation has nothing to do with any of that, though. Not everything is some racial conundrum. It's representative of the population at large, and who they identify with the most. The west is a white majority, and Hollywood will reflect that. Do you wonder why Indian movies have so many Indians in them, or why Korean movies have so many Koreans? Of course you don't.

If tomorrow, the black population was 60% of America, Hollywood would reflect that, because they would be buying the majority of the tickets.

 

[Natural Order]

12-15% of leading roles aint Black people, nor are leading roles majority white women so save that majority crap. Ok, if you care about population percentile so much let's go a big off road:

90% of U.S wealth is own by whites, 2-3% is held by Black Americans. American isn't 90% white, nor is it only 2-3% Black. What are you doing to close the racial wealth gap? Do you even see it as an issue?

The racial wealth gap is closed through innovation and hard work, not status quos.
Shit logic is shit.

why is my family doing well if the system is rigged with that white privilege?

So you're claiming Black people don't work hard and are not innovative?

why is my family doing well if the system is rigged with that white privilege?

I don't care about your family. Why were Black Jockeys millionaires during slavery?

90% of the U.S isn't white and Hollywood is an American enterprise, Black Americans have more stock in Hollywood history than any whites from Europe.

Black Americans are Americans.

90% of the U.S isn't white

LOL, wut?
