Why are movies with an all white cast considered racist?

1 Name: Anonymous : 2015-11-09 09:43
A new movie inspired in the works of Harry Potter author JK Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them novel is starting to get criticism for casting white people, is this real?

When was the last time someone told Tyler Perry his movies needed to include a few Asians, and maybe some Indonesians or even White people to be more "diverse".

The SJW movement is incredibly pathetic.

JK Rowling Fires Back At Claims Fantastic Beasts Is Too White

If you go to the link contained within the one for cinemablend, http://www.hypable.com/fantastic-beasts-casting-diversity/2/ then the author states their reason for asking this question. And as JK Rowling has said, this is only the first of third movies set in a New York wizardry world, so non-white characters are coming. And if any of the narrative is set in Harlem, then having only white characters would be rather dumb.

As for Tyler Perry movies, maybe he should cast white and asian people as friends of the black leading characters. Why not? Start a protest.

Tyler Perry has white people in his movies. People who think otherwise, have never watched one. See below.

Busted. I don't watch Tyler Perry's old lady drag movies. I've enjoyed his straight dramatic work in Precious and Gone Girl.

But it is so stupid SJW get their hearts so easily crushed when a movie is not Politically Correct.

They expect every movie to have minorities... correction, black main characters in them.

She's not American. Where she comes from, everyone is white, no doubt. So what?

Why do people always use Tyler Perry movies as an example? Maybe they've never seen a Tyler Perry movie, but he has white people in them.

What about Latinos, Asians, gay and lesbians?

I don't remember any gay main character in his movies is he a homophobe? Should the LGBT community start boycotting his movies?

See how easy it is?

He has all of them in his productions.

In "The Haves And The Have Nots," his character, Jeffery, is a gay man who comes from a very wealthy family and is also trapped in the closet.

It feels contrived when people change or insert particular genders or races just to do it.

exactly, but because SJW are whining louder than ever filmmakers are starting to feel the pressure of catering to everybody now.

And IMO the quality of their film diminishes, not by adding minorities or genders, but being forced too.

The particular movie being called out is set in 1920s New York City, a town not known for being exclusively white.

Has anyone ever told the NFL they needed to include more whites?

Nobody has dared.

BUT ..... I will give them partial credit..... recently they decided to give up their Tax Exempt Status to avoid certain criticisms.

I also noticed that Planned Parenthood decided against cutting ties with Govt.....yet they still wanna know why certain tax payers should be questioning their 'business practices'?

you mean tell the white men who OWN the teams that they need more white players? Where will these white players magically appear from? Division 1 college football?

Not likely.

I'm pretty certain that has been suggested to him. Don't most of his movies contain token white characters? Wasn't Kim Kardashian in one of them?

What about Viking Rappers movies?

Time to treat anyone who says; "we need more (blank) in the interest of diversity" the same way you would a member of the KKK.
