Wouldn’t that have been amusing, rather than disturbing, if ANYBODY BUT YOU had asked that question and poll?
Especially after I mentioned I had an air mattress (in a different thread)?

CAN’T YOU USE A G*****D SPOILER TAG?!?!?!??
How is that a spoiler,when no names were used and it doesn’t refer to anything that’s happened?
How do I do a spoiler tag?

But isn’t this exactly why I called it an example of structural racism? And isn’t pointing to the profit motive behind a decision that is racist in its effect evidence that the the decision itself is not necessarily racism on the part of the individual, but rather racism on the part of the institution?

But yes, that’s still racism, isn’t it? And it’s still someone making a decision, based on the perception that white audiences won’t go see a film without a white protagonist (and hence won’t make money) and that the race of the characters don’t matter, but only when the character in question is a POC? Even if it’s an institution, aren’t human beings, with agency, still making up those institutions and making decisions that have consequences for actual individuals? Isn’t the way to deal with structural racism to begin with is by having the people who make up the institutions start making decisions that challenge that structural racism?
Is it just me, or is it hard to make these points in question form?

But won’t the result be that the movie simply won’t be made, but the problem won’t go away? Is the problem that we want to solve not that we don’t want to see white artists playing POC, but rather that the industry should be opened up so that all actors can compete for roles on an even footing? What is the lesson to be gleaned from the fact that the excellent Indian film industry and Korean TV industry, both populated by fantastic actors, have 20% more viewers than their Hollywood counterparts but still gross less money?
Can I say I agree with you that this inquisitional form not only makes articulating ideas difficult, and add that it also is exhausting?
