This is quite true, but it also kind of misses the point, which is Blazing Saddles was an anti-racist movie made by a white man who utilized a lot of racist tropes to make his points. And the fact that this KIND of movie can't be made anymore isn't a great thing.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1481289607044075526 …

It's okay to have someone other than a white man make anti-racist movies.

That's a ridiculous take, because specifically, nobody could have made Blazing Saddles as good as Mel Brooks did. He was literally the funniest writer-director in Hollywood at the time.

There's a lot of areas of life where you really aren't changing the output very much by imposing these sorts of rules, but in the arts, it literally can be the case that there's only one Mozart, one Picasso, one Mel Brooks.
