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.

I think she's on to something....

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.

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.

Handy Man is black. I always thought speed racer sort of looked like a Jap, and am pretty sure the cartoon was made in Japan.

LOTR would have been a better example.

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