But many of the Hollywood movies( chick flicks or kind of like about teenagers or like the wedding planner etc)..It's so funny, like everyone is white even all the neighbors and people around.
They sometimes include a few black and asians or more recently indian americans but. i see mostly white.
I do understand that in reality, Some group of white people do prefer to hang out with their own kind.. LIke also latinos hang out with their own But the way the movies make all the surrounding people white, the extras white etc.. That's weird.
No wonder foreign countries that watch American movies think all American people are white.Why many American movies just include White actors as if Whites just lived in a white world?i've noticed too, in my opinion we do live in a white world, but there are some other different kinds of people who are trying to squeeze out of that. the Celebrity world IS dominated by whites. the only time i see a black person in a movie is it has to do with some stereotype movie like dealing with drugs, going to jail, gangsters, or just simply needing somebody to die in a movie.
its getting old, i would like to see a mixture of people in a movie for ONCE!Why many American movies just include White actors as if Whites just lived in a white world?
If there's a police chief or a high school principal or a lawyer or a mayor they're always black.Why many American movies just include White actors as if Whites just lived in a white world?yh i have actully and i was wondering y thank you for explaning this
that is interesting, i never noticed.Why many American movies just include White actors as if Whites just lived in a white world?yeah, i ask that question every day when i'm watching t.v.! it's like no other race exist........... NO MATTER HOW MUCH AMERICA TRIES TO CONVINCE US THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGE, IN REALITY LITTLE HAS CHANGE! RACE WILL ALWAYS BE AN ISSUE! SAD BUT TRUEWhy many American movies just include White actors as if Whites just lived in a white world?
No were not that stupid overseas, we all laughed for weeks even our news anchors couldn't read the story when the USA, announced the American Creation Museum.
Especially when we only seen white mannequins of biblical characters used. We wondered what the hell did they put in the water that week over there in the States , lol, this must be just another only in America thing.
Well maybe it's not absolutely necessary for them to include every color on the rainbow and the mentally challenged person and the person with AIDS and the wheelchair and...
You get my point. If you had your way, there would be probably end up being a standard in the media for how many of what kind of people are where. I really wish we could just see people as people and keep the movies realistic when it comes to diversity. If a movie is unrealistic in that it has all white or all non-white cast, though, that's fine too. It's better than having a fully diverse film about the KKK. I say let the film makers make their damn movie without Michael Moore or other hard-left wingers shooting up their asses about it.
I think people are too sensitive about this stuff. Oh and if anybody got an impression that I am a racist, I am asian. Does that somehow make it better?Why many American movies just include White actors as if Whites just lived in a white world?
its racism..
too bad it exists everywhere
You know what? The other foreign countries are not dumb. We obviously know what Ethnic groups make up the American population. Why be so sensitive about it. Just watch the dang movie! If you're not happy, make one yourself. By the way, did I tell you I hv acted on stage before....
Your so right and yes I have noticed it. I'm always thinking where is everybody else? I always wonder how this effects little children who are not white? It has to be damaging at some level to their psych, it would kind of feel like being ostracized..you know? Like wow, am I the only one like me.
Good point.
because the vast majority of Americans happen to be white,especially in the 'blue states' such as Massachusetts %26amp; New York,outside of the city with the same name,where more Americans still live than anywhere else. So Hollywood naturally is going to make those movies catering to those people with the most money in the most areas,namely white folks who live up in the Northeast %26amp; upper Mid-Western states.
That's not true that movies only have white people. There are tons of movies with other races... Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Beyonce, Bernie Mac, Queen Latifa, Whoppi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lucy Lui, Don Chedle, Morgan Freedmon, Jackie Chan, Chris Rock, and these are just people off the top of my head.
Obviously their are more white people in movies because there are more white actors, because the U.S. is mostly white people. It's just a matter of proportions. You're likely to see more white people in most professions, not just acting, because we have a higher population of white people overall.
On the contrary, I think Hollywood sometimes makes TOO much of a point to appeal to minorities... take the movie Guess Who, where Ashton Kutcher plays a white guy who is ostrocized by his girlfriend's family because they are all black and he is white. It's funny and all, but if you really think about it, you could NEVER switch the races.. if hollywood made a movie about a black guy being rejected by a white family, people would cry "racist"... but when its a white person being singled out, it's okay. Seems unfair to me.
i agree its racism, whites have always dominated the film industry.
White people make up most of America.
Yeah, well they have ALL BLACK SHOWS/MOVIES, that have NO whites, not even a token one. So what is your point?
to errica!...i disagree...guess who was a reverse remake of guess whos coming to dinner with sydney potier and katherine hepburn a movie about a white woman who brings her black boyfriend home for dinner unbeknownst to her parents and this movie was done in 1967 it was widely controversial but accepted as well
EDIT!!!!: ok I have to disagree with you again Errrica! people were on an entirely different plane of racism in 1967 then now think about it the 1960s were the HEIGHT of the civil rights movements...blacks were still getting sprayed by firehoses and attacked by dogs/lynched etc...there were race riots and not to mention Martin Luther king wasnt even assianated until 1968!! so dont say race was less of an issue then because thats entirely wrong...youve got it backwards
Edit 2: ok i see what youre getting at...i do agree with mellowg a lot of black movies etc dont have other races in them at all (i tend not to watch those) but at the same time tv shows like "Friends" for example was a bit ridiculous...like there were only whites 24/7 and there were only like 2 blacks on the show ever were there even other races on there???...i mean...really..in NYC?? yeah right get real...
Because the best of the best, always rises to the top regardless of color.
What movies are you talking about....from the 1940s??
"Guess Who"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372237/
was a remake of
"Guess who's comng to dinner"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061735/
Yes, I know the first was a drama, while the second was a comedy...still Berine Mac's dislike of his daughters choice [because of his color] was seen in a much lighter way than Spencer Tracy's in the original version.
great observation, I have thought about it too, and its funny that if you watch a show like TYler Perrys weekly show, most of the advertising is done with black actors, why?
to add to your question...how come when there is a native american indian character (like in Twilight) they go out of their way to cast a white actor and then dig to fins some native blood so they can claim it.
there are plenty of very talented native actors but hollywood refuses to cast us as anything but relics of the past. no 21st century native people in hollywood and certainly not giving a star role to one. for the next movie in the series they are looking for Filipino and asian actors to play natives. wtf?! ethnic cleansing on the silver screen too?
