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 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.

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.

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. |
