Yes, it's well known that Hollywood in general and movie execs specifically are "white"
Just top clarify my point: of course it's completely ridiculous when a white guy plays a black role, but it's equally ridiculous when a black guy plays a white role. The thing is though that people cheer for the latter and have wildly repulsed reactions to the former. I would prefer it if we had sanity and common sense to prevail, so black people are cast into black roles and white people into white ones. But if we can't have sanity, then I say double down on the insanity to confront the SJWs with it. I'd fully support a remake of Django where he is white and his slave masters are a politically correct diverse mix of blacks, asians, indians, jews and the other indians. Hell just remake Roots with an all white cast!

In Hamilton (the play based on the book), black actors play our founding fathers...gasp.
This thing sold $57 million in presale tickets in 3 months. I want to see it.
Yeah, having a white guy play MLK is more strange.

Of course it's completely ridiculous and stupid having a white man portraying a black man, but the people losing their shit over this are the same people who have no problem advocating for blacks to portray white characters all the time. It's interesting that when the roles are reversed all the talk about race not existing, race being a social construct, how it only matters that an actor is competent or not, goes out the window.

It's hilarious when people lose their shit on Hollywood about mundane casting based on race. I also love it when people attack a theatre play that they wouldn't watch anyways.
Here's the best and funniest reactions a Hollywood movie or a play will garner based on anecdotal evidence.
1) black male with a non black female. It's a good one, always gets the haters out on twitter. Great for promoting new material.
2)white male playing non white role - gets the SJW's right riled up, a twitter/social media shit storm. Always love the comments.
3)non white (usually black) cast playing a historically white role - this is the opposite of the one above. Instead of SJW's, you've got reactionaries losing their shit.
This shit promotes itself, controversy makes money. Promotional trailers should take the outraged twitter commentary and post it as testimonials on the commercials.

It's pretty interesting to see that even on a forum like this there are still a lot of guys still brain-washed and "blue pill" when it comes to ... culture.
This forum has quite a few SJWs in hiding on it and also attracts quite a few who want to manipulate and influence the men here and they generally do these things subtly, though not in the OP's case. I warn about that here. Notice how even a thread discussing solutions gets derailed by members. Some of this is just the retard level of some people here, while some of it is intentional.
I can't speak for Primetime (his reply does not seem SJWish either) but I'm not an example of a secret SJW. You MacCarthyist hacks can go back home. The guy who quoted me and backhandedly suggested I was some kind of blue pill because I disagree with casting MLK as a white guy is a dumbshit who can't read.
I also disagreed with casting Idris Elba as Heimdallr (he was literally the whitest god of the Norse pantheon). That's a pretty clear and unequivocal fuck you to pagans, white nationalists, and Scandinavians in general.
Hollywood loves to court controversy by playing gender and race baiting games to put asses in seats because they're no talent hacks and they know it. It's a substitute for making media that's actually good.
SWPLs get a big fat chub knowing that a white supremacist pagan neo nazi from Finland who nobody has heard of tweeted disapproval about Heimdallr as Thor and consider it part of being a good person and Not a Racist to feed the outragist media with their money. Hollywood gets paid big time and plans their next move. I guarantee you guys if this cycle keeps going we're going to see a pre-op and post-op tranny James Bond in the next 30 years. It's going to be a big budget movie and it might barely make it's money back but will inexplicably sweep all the awards even though it will be garbage.
This is why I quit enabling this kind of shit with money. Public library, two or three books per month instead of wasting time on the movies.

Hilarious trolling 10/10.
I just wanted to say, is Primetime really an upset SJW or did he just take that post literally and didn't see the sarcasm? Hence the 'GTFO'?

This thread reminds me of members going crazy over a black guy possibly playing James Bond and the black storm tropper in Star wars.

Guys,
I'm going to remake Bambi. Instead of casting a deer as the lead role as Bambi, I'm going to cast as a human Cis-Gendered Male. A human Cis-Gendered female will be casted as Bambi's mother. Astrapping healthy 10 point buck will be casted as the hunter.
I'm doing this because species are a social construct.

Aurini, that was my thinking on it.
This seems to be a bit about nothing.
As to what it has become, I think there is a real sense of 'whiteness' being erased in the new global landscape and the people pushing it, often very aggressively and openly, are the SJW crowd.
Personally I would rather see new characters, especially well-rounded characters, developed for non-white males or even women.
I also think there is a big difference between fictional and historical characters and this largely leans on what the point of the script and show is.
Is it meant to be historical fiction? If so, then I think the cast should reflect as best as possible the realities of the people involved.
If it is meant to be a comedy, then not so much. I am guessing that play is meant to be a comedy, if not it seems strange to me but whatever.
With comic book characters it really doesn't bother me as much because comics, along with a lot of other mediums, are well known for retcons with their characters and it is actually pretty insane how detailed it can get in the different universes.
Women these days think they can shop for a man like they shop for a purse or a pair of shoes. Sorry ladies. It doesn't work that way.
Women are like sandwiches. All men love sandwiches. That's a given. But sandwiches are only good when they're fresh. Nobody wants a day old sandwich. The bread is all soggy and the meat is spoiled.

I think it's a bit ridiculous to have a white actor playing MLK because MLK's whole mission in life was based on his race- he was black and wanted equal rights for black people. If you cast a white actor to play a black person such as Jimi Hendrix or Miles Davis, I think it would be more acceptable as their life stories were not mainly based on their race.
