Snow's not even white. It's internalized self hate. Why are white people even whining about this? If I was filmmaker I'd employ as many gay and lesbian actors as I could. It's boot straps capitalism.

I really don't understand why people are so angry about this issue with Jordan Peele saying that he is probably going to write screenplay where the main character is black. White filmmakers have been writing characters for white people for centuries. What is the big deal? Jordan has artistic freedom in this country. If he wants to make movies where the focus of the story is a black protagonist, then so be it. Black people go to the movies as well. Maybe they shouldn't.
I know for a fact that I'm going to avoid going to a theater with a lot of black people because they just don't know how to behave themselves in tactful way. -

I have done this topic to death. First on my own. Then a second time debating Chicka. Then a third time debating Donna. I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jordan Peele is indeed a racist.

By definition it's racist to only hire people of a specific race.
I think it's excusable to a degree because people tend to want their own race projected onto their created characters. They're his creation so he can do what he wants.
In general I don't reckon he's racist at all, probably just overcompensating for some agenda bullshit. -

By definition it's racist to only hire people of a specific race.
Then basically just about every major Hollywood director in history is racist, then. The only difference is they can get by with not mentioning it. And that's the point.
Not only did Kubrick have white leads in all is films, he barely, had black supporting characters or extras. One's deluded if they genuinely believe Tim Burton was open to casting a black lead for Edward Scissorhands, and happened to end up with Johnny Depp, or Spielberg was open to casting any race for Jaws, but happened to end up with 3 white guys by coincidence. News flash: when you make 15+ movies in a row, and all 15+ have white leads,
their whiteness is intentional - not coincidental
Peele makes only 2 films, which consecutively have black leads, something that's never been done in history by a mainstream director for commercial theatrical releases, when directors have consecutively cast white leads all the time yet it goes unnoticed, and some people have the audacity to say he's racist, when they should be feeling humbly embarrassed that this doesn't happen more often.
