What's unbelievable to me is that you don't think there's a racist bias in Hollywood. I'm not talking about people not getting jobs because the studio head doesn't like black people or EP doesn't think a black guy is talented enough, but we (as a nation) are fed what we want to see and we want to see good looking white men play the leads in our films. We're capitalist and the market says give us white, and following the market can be fine if you acknowledge it, but let's not pretend like it's a level playing field. Aziz's show did a quick take on this on not wanting 2 indian men in the same sitcom. We can dive further into this all day, but I think I made it clear in why I referenced it in the way I did but we want to keep going back to the well.
It's funny that people like Chanur can get SO offended if you make a joke at the expense of white people, but we can call each other faggots. Most of the time it's a joke, sometimes to get our point across and sometimes lined with a bit of truth. Nobody defends themselves from a joke at their expense, quite like the offended white male in a place they feel safe from public perception though.
TL;DR for the third time: This movie is really good. Good enough that I would find it very hard to believe we could go a third year without a POC nomination in the respective fields we've been discussing.
