[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ My point exactly! It is the 21st century yet racism whether against blacks or asians is alive and well, especially in Hollywack! Just look at the Academy Awards and you'll see that all the black actors/actresses received awards for messed up roles or characters except maybe Jaimie Foxx with his portrayal of Ray Charles. Definitely no asians are nominated as there are virtually NO prominent roles for asians! Hell, this 'Airbender' movie itself just shows that asians can't even get starring roles in movies about their own cultures! :eek: Now I'm sorry, but that is just F*CKED UP! The sad part is that these big time Hollywood execs really believe that they wouldn't make much money if the starring roles were given to Asians! They actually think that mainstream America is as racist as they are. What's funny is that the original 'Airbender' cartoon series was the most popular cartoon series in Nickelodeon history, with the vast majority of viewers being white of course. Ironically the majority of protesters against this live action debacle are also white! Does this not say something to these idiotic execs?? To show you just how moronic these guys are, I am reminded of the Disney & Pixar animated movie 'Up' which featured the boyscout character to be Asian American. Again, the execs were afraid that having the child be asian might detract audiences. As if kids would somehow refuse to watch the movie because the kid in it is not white! Suffice to say, the movie was a success even though they kept the kid asian. My thing is, Hollywood would never do this to blacks that is make a movie so [i]overtly[/i] and irrationally racist by casting whites to play roles that were meant for people of color and [i]their[/i] respective cultures. We know Hollywood still has prejudice views on blacks but such views are expressed more covertly with movies like 'The Frog Princess'. There is no way Hollyweird would make a fantasy movie with an African cultural setting but make the starring characters white, at least I think they aren't that dumb when you have so-called black leaders like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson who are quick to start a million man march on Capital Hill. Then again, you have that Neil Gaiman incident that I mentioned earlier. :o My point is Asians seem to be the racial group that is easy to discriminate since the asian American community does not have the political and media muscle that African Americans have. I believe that is the ONLY reason why Hollywood has been able to [i]still[/i] get away with all the sh*t on asians. [/QB][/QUOTE]
