Are blacks underrepresented in film?
I'd say over represented, by Will Smith alone
then you consider Rock makes like 30 movies a year and he's half black so that's like 15
TBH I don't watch movies enough to know. I've just been thinking about it after the minor political battle going on around Jordan Peele's remarks.
Peele's full of shit, acting like he's the first ever black director and no movies have black stars
what can you expect though, he's a hack
20 years ago: First ______ to be ______
10 years ago: First ______ _______ to be _______
Now: First _______ ________ _______ to be __________
the entries can be still the same they ignore anything older than 5 years
Black Panther is the first Marvel super hero movie...as long as you don't count the 3 Blade movies or the 4 MIB movies
I think people typically forget just what a small percentage of the American population that black people represent.
16% or so
lower than whites obviously but lower than Hispanic too but you don't hear half as much shit about Latin representation
they just create a lot of their own stuff
it's almost as much as the Asian population percentage of Australia which is between 11-16%
13%
50% of the crime and like 25% of the actors
Didn't someone do an analysis of awards and determine that, per population distribution, Black actors were overrepresented?
Yes
#oscarssoblack
Same with LGBT rep in media
LGBT is absurdly overrepresented.
Who cares?
They do
That's what makes it funny
I don’t
I don’t care. It’s funny
I think part of the problem is a lot of the white liberals complaining about this stuff live in cities where the population is more like 40% black and never venture into the suburbs or rural areas where it drops to like 0.5%
Try Netflix “Norseman” series. Funny as fick
Frikkin liberals identity politics to the max
Not my liberals, gickem
Call em what they are and take liberalism back my dude
I don’t need to take it back, I have it. Now I have to side with loonies because worse loonies?
Ffs.... can I have the Spanish civil war back so I can support imperialism over populism?
If I want to kill all of them, what should I (as an example idiot) do???
Hm?
I’m only rabidly any one thing or the other when the balance goes out.

If you don’t know the reference, correct that, then argue
That's a bit of a non sequitur m8
No. It’s reactionary. I dont mind that
I trust you do, otherwise you would argue differently?
I'm just for placing things in honest categories. I don't consider that reactionary
Aha. So, if I may be so bold, ontology is better than metaphysics?
This is an honest question, based on the strengths you have shown.
