      3/ No one said that they'd all be white. The complaint is that current directors / casting people / etc go out of their way to make characters explicitly nonwhite, to virtue signal wokeness. ...and it's tiresome.https://twitter.com/UrbanR14/status/1430182039542804481 …

      The Foundation is way in the future, why would all of the characters be white? From what I remember it also has more female viewpoint characters than you might expect from that era of sci fi.

          If the ethnicity of a character isn't integral to the plot or setting, it doesn't really matter. What matters is whether or not the characterization, the acting, and the chemistry between actors is good.

          5/ well, context is part of it no one has any problem with female characters, with black characters, etc in SF e.g. Sigourney Weaver and Yaphet Koto in Alien were AWESOME. The problem is that in 2021, ppl don't have characters who happen to be X or Yhttps://twitter.com/RahmSJ/status/1430187974377971725 …

          Sorry for relying on context and not implementing every single contingency possible. This is in regards to speculative fiction. History is obviously another ball game.

          6/ in the Context of the CURRENT YEAR we can see that casting is done explicitly as part of a blue-tribe race war against white Americans. Villains are very likely to be white and male; heroes are very likely to be black and female, etc.

          7/ this is memetic warfare, aimed to condition - through endless repetition - the ideas that whites & men = bad, and non-whites & minorities = good repetition works very well as a tool of inculcation I can have zero problem w women or minorities and still hate blue propaganda

          8/ meh "sure, the last 1,000 shows that were cast by Current Year progressive Hollywood studios made all sorts of characters black women for no good reason at all ... but until we actually view the NEXT one that does it , we can't make any predictions"https://twitter.com/RahmSJ/status/1430194015375216650 …

          Any proof would be in the show. In this specific case how can anyone actually tell if the casting choices were based on virtue signalling if no one has watched it yet? The final product will speak for itself.

          Replying to @MorlockP

          What constitutes going out of one's way to cast people as nonwhite? Are we supposed to take a census of everything we watch and try to match it to the racial composition of working actors in LA? It seems like a lot of effort to care about this rather than the quality of the show.

          Having a dusky designated entertainer caste is somewhat based, if you think about it.
