Woke Hollywood is still racist

[timewerx]

It's starting to get ridiculous in recent films, marriages or any male-female relationships have to be interracial ALL the time if it's not a gay or lesbian couple (even same sex couples need to be interracial as well!).

Yet racism is still strongly portrayed because all the colored actors have to behave like white people.

It's not like in the past where Black characters can act like Blacks in portrayal of their vibrant culture

Now, Black actors should act like white people all the time. This is cultural racism,

It's starting to get ridiculous in recent films, marriages or any male-female relationships have to be interracial ALL the time if it's not a gay or lesbian couple (even same sex couples need to be interracial as well!).

It's certainly not true that "marriages or any male-female relationships have to be interracial ALL the time."

Nor is it true that "all the colored actors have to behave like white people."

And it would not be cultural racism if black actors (or black people in the real world) "behaved like white people." This is the United States and segregation was made illegal nationwide sixty years ago. Did it occur to you that we've had two generations of black people who have been living among white people--even in white neighborhoods--who now naturally behave like white people because that's the environment in which they and even their parents were raised?

However, there is still racism in Hollywood, particularly behind the camera. Anthony Mackie (who acts as "The Falcon/Captain America" in Marvel movies) noted that for "The Black Panther," the director and most of the production crew was black as a tribute to a mostly black movie cast that the company could boast about in social media. But, he noted, somehow none of those black production crew members ever get hired for any of the other Marvel movies.

It was also exposed by an insider that for the Disney production Star Wars: The Acolyte, the producers decided up front that the lead actor would be biracial (which has nothing to do with the character), and not only biracial but of a specific level of biracial appearance (I guess there is a "Goldilocks" biracial appearance that Hollywood recognizes). That was the first characteristic they looked for to find someone to play the part.
