    As a non-white, an outsider and onlooker on the American sociopolitical scenery, I can attest that I also regard the non-white people as perceptually racist, and sometimes even worst. It’s been many occasions that I observed where they don’t say a word regarding all-non-white-casts movies. But when people made all-white movies (or if none of them won any awards), they will throw tantrums for being left out. Quite typical scenarios.

      Yep. That’s not quite as bad as the perpetuation of the archaic “mammy” stereotype which is still prevalent in comedy, or the stereotype of the goofy black guy who does nothing but cracks jokes, has nothing of substance to provide, and is just there to be laughed at and not taken seriously.

      I’d rather have an all-white movie than a movie that perpetuates racist stereotypes.
