As do those celebrities; just a hunch.
No.
White bigotry usually isn't but I've seen plenty of examples of black bigotry expressed that way. Haven't you?
As I said before, I can point to countless white privileges, and I can point to countless black privileges. The problem is when people only see the privileges others have without recognizing their own, and then they wanna play the victim.
And now, instead of floating ideas, history is rewritten in the opposite way, these days.
These days traditional white roles are now cast as a minority. Fine, I honestly don't mind, I don't even really watch movies anyway. But there is something to be desired to cast roles pertaining to the actual historical accuracy of a character, in my opinion. Its equally as wrong to cast a black historical character as white as it is the opposite. I prefer accuracy rather than fantasy, if that makes sense.
When you make a movie that is based on historical events and decide to change things to the point where the word history should be nowhere near it, for dramatization or political correctness or what have you - that is rewriting history. I do not support that. Of course that already actually happens in history books as it is, much moreso in movies and media. I would be annoyed hearing about an actress like Julia Roberts being cast as lead role in Harriet.
Yes, I've seen things really turn sour when the white kid or young man does not react to them the way they expect he should. It's like they finally got a chance to be in control and they handle it like school children. But any stranger can get victimized in an area they don't know.
I just said in another post that there are other privileges also like wealth, educated parents, being born attractive, intelligent, or creative is are all privileges or a religious person may call it a blessing or blessed with such and such attribute. THat attribute alone will not ensure a person's success. Even trust fund children grow up and shame their family name and all that. So there is no one thing that will get you ahead.
I wouldn't say countless........not as countless as a rich old white man......but there are some. "I got soul.....and I super bad."
The only one that comes to mind is Hamilton (technically not a film), but I'd say that the decision to make Alexander Hamilton black was more about social commentary than political correctness and Lin Manuel Miranda makes it pretty clear that Hamilton is meant to be historical fiction rather than a documentary. There are also several cases of fictional stories being remade with actors of different races/genders than the originals, but that's different.
I have no idea what you are talking about here
Yeah; but we aren’t talking about all those other privileges we’re talking about White privilege. And though on average, white people do have more wealth and education than blacks, you can’t call those white privilege because white privilege is a privilege you get for being white; not rich or educated.
