Why don't minority audiences see that this shit is pandering to them for their money and take offense to it? Like when they turn an established white comic book super hero black instead of actually creating a new and original black character.

The only person I've ever heard speak up about this shit is Michelle Rodriguez and despite being hispanic and gay they fucking tore her apart and forced her to apologize for pointing it out. What the fuck?

>Oh, no, let's not fix the broken system, let's just be fucking lazy and turn [ALREADY EXISTING WHITE CHARACTER] into a [BLACK/ASIAN/HISPANIC/ETC] instead.

It's the same bullshit when they turn an existing male character into a female or make a straight charter gay. Fuck you, Hollywood, for being lazy and fuck you, audience, for accepting it.

Idk. Why don't you make tl;drs when Hollywood takes a minority character and casts a white person for the role?

I think many people will agree with you actually. This opinion isn't as rare as you'd think, at least in Europe.

People who know what's going on are a minority in pretty much every major group. Why don't White nerd audiences see that movies pander to their maymays and epin references and take offense to it? For the most part, they don't (see: the success of Marvel flicks.)

If you actually tried speaking to a "minority", you might find that many of us agree with you.

If you /co/ you know that white nerds do get pissed when they fuck up the source material to pander to normies and LOL EPIC teeangers. Marvel doesn't give a fuck because they want those latter two to keep filling their pockets.

I'm pretty sure Michelle Rodriguez is one of those genderfluid pansexuals, at least in front of the cameras so being gay doesn't help

It's not about pandering to minorities. It's about tricking the audience they're watching something new and bolding while they're watching the same old shit but with a new hat called diversity

Why do Tumblrfags always draw niggers like this? It's either like this or with a headband. They're like the most "white" and friendly looking niggers they could possibly draw.

You know, instead of the alternative. Ugly fucking apes. Could they get a more hideous nigress to play Hermione in the play?

ITT: more shit only white people are bothered about.

When was Hermione established to be white?
That play was based on the books

if you're talking about kneegroes, it's because they generally have a lower iq than normal people. they don't get it.

In the books.

Someone posted a screenshot of the text a while back but I don't have it. Some adjective used to describe her implies she's white.

LMAO. why are white people always trying to play the victim?
>>
>>67642841
Who gives an uppity fuck if they cast a black person in a white role for some play nobody is going to see?

The Harry Potter movies turned an already-established-in-one-movie black character into a white character as soon as she had something important to do. They sabotaged their own universe continuity to whitewash a character. That doesn't bother you, but some play that's probably not even still going gets you butt-triggered?

Take up a hobby, faggot.

Because it never seems to bother white people when it happens to them.

They'll even defend it.

Background characters have no specific casting, which is why multiple people can portray them. Usually they are given character names just to keep order on a film set. Lavender Brown, as a major character role, was not cast until the sixth film. The filmmakers had no way of knowing she would play such a role when they assigned her name to the background actresses from previous films, which is why her actress changed in the sixth film.

Lavender brown had been played by multiple black actresses before she recast as white so there was no way to win really, unless they got in some random extra who likely couldnt act for shit or totally changed the sctress
