Hollywood is Racist!
White batman, white superman, white flash gordan, white ghost rider, most of the x-men heroes are white...

Bollywood is racist.
Most of the heros are Indian.

This is both the first and the best response to this thread. Showbusiness is still a business. The majority of America is white. Therefore, not only will the majority of people in any given sample be white, but also the majority of the purchasing power is in the white population.
I remember reading a while back about some Chinese kid bitching about how the American school system is racist because only 15% (or something like that) of students in American colleges are Asian. I guess that sounds pretty rough - until you realize that only like, what, 2 or 3% of America is Asian. There are more white people in the States than anyone else. Therefore by that virtue alone there will be more white people in the movies. Racism can not exist in just the numbers, like that (unless there is a MASSIVE disconnect between ratios in general and in specific, such as the huge difference between the black American population and the black prison population.), there will always be more of the majority in any given sample. Duh.

Hollywood had nothing to do with choosing any of there ethnicities, they existed long before movies were even popular. Also, don't forget who Marvel and D.C. Comics target audience is, young white children.

Oh come on. There's integration in comic book superheroes.
There's that Black superhero, what's his name, and The Thing is a Jew, and there's even a blind guy.

Hong Kong Cinema is even more racist.
All Chinese actors and they even speak in Cantonese!

Green Lantern is black, Mr. Freeze is black, and Spawn (Todd McFarlane's character) is black so once again the Chinese dingbat sticks her foot in her mouth.
Oh, and Dolemite is black. And Dolemite could kick Bruce Lee's ass from here to Hong Kong.

I don't think you can get much whiter than Otto Preminger.

you sound surprised. Perhaps a little cinematic education would be in order.

Who cares the characters were made up years ago comic book characters don't represent Hollywood you're ignorant for thinking that.
Racism isn't gone but it is improving and Hollywood is doing just fine I think. |
