California Burning

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

Not really an issue for me and it was really just a problem with a few select minorities (mostly Latinos and Native Americans) 50+ years ago.

i have some slight misgivings with it in earlier movies, knowing that white actors were cast into minority roles because those minorities were being shut out for whatever reason. but i have less of an issue now because minorities have their take of a lot of roles, while white actors do as well obviously.

The one “issue” that comes up now is whether minorities should play white roles in remakes/reboots/adaptations. And my answer would be yes, if the context makes sense. Most of the criticisms I see are very superficial.

audrey hepburn, mickey rooney, boris karloff, john wayne. obviously they are all more known for other roles but they had played minority characters in at least one role. and also david carradine is probably best known for his role, doing that. it happened in a lot of cases.

Straight up, in the Apprentice, a foreign Romanian who is definitely closeted gay played Donald Trump recently. And I ain't see Jason bitch once, not one time, so that's gotta count for something.

Considering the color of skin when hiring is racist, no?

You literally said minorities should replace whites depending on context. That's entirely a skin color preference in the hiring process. Hence rassism
