I always wonder how did they get away with tropic thunder!?? I mean RDJ was in black face!!! And I'm not complaining or crushing it. I understand it is meant to be ridiculous, that's the point of the movie. And true black face it is offensive. But imagine try to make that movie now? Oh geez
Yeah that's how I see it and I get it. But I think some people (on Twitter of course) would have a fit and call it offensive black face no matter the context and would not be made in today's world.
Honestly, I know im going of topic, but I'm uoset about the little mermaid, and no im not racist, I'm not even white. It is a live action of a movie we eant to see come to life as close as possible as our image of those characters. Not a version of the movie! Sorry im really upset I loved little mermaid.
The thing is, before this modern era of putting black people in *everything* even to the point of replacing originally white characters, black people were represented in film and tv in proportion to their percentage of the population. Meaning, they made up about 13% of roles, as they make up about 13% of the population. That's perfectly fine.
But now, they've got this big dishonest pushy agenda and everybody rightfully hates it.
Yeah I agree, and most of the time i'm ok with it but again little mermaid wtf!
Just as it is bad that they hire white actors for black characters or asian characters...
Like Dr. Strange? The ancient one was originally an asian guy and they made the character a white woman, BUT Mordo was a white guy and they made him black.
