Are you ****ing kidding me with this touchy feely PC woke race card horseshit?
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Yes, obviously. Any director who goes 50 years without casting a single person of color in a lead or supporting role, has clear racial bias (and possibly hatred) towards POCs.
You can add Martin Scorsese to that list also.

I don´t think that he is racist. He just does not cast token ethnic characters. But there is nothing in his movies that would make you think he is a racist.
The word racist gets thrown around today rather easily.
but they hung him anyway.
Hanged, Ami. Your father was not a tapestry.

i'm more concerned about the thought police's potential for censoring

Ethnicity is constantly tokenize16d0d by Hollywood; I would rather have one single fleshed-out minority character than a ton of meaningless, poorly-conceived token characters written in purely to make easily-offended idiots happy. If Cronenberg wrote minorities into his films just to appease people, he would cease to be an artist. One can't just skin-swap a character and call it diversity; that's what's wrong with Hollywood.

Dude, I haven't accused anybody else of being racist. That's not cool.
My strength is greater than my weakness

Yeah, just like you speculated about how Chris Cooper was maybe a little racist ("He just gives off a racist vibe") and how Edgar Wright may possibly be a racist and now David Cronenberg is possibly a racist, too.
Jesus Christ.
You really are a child of this century, aren't you, because these days for SJWs like yourself to be whit5b4e, male and gasp! possibly Conservative, is to automatically be suspected of racism.
Can't wait for this era of extreme race consciousness to finally be over.
But I ain't holding my breath.

Cronenberg is a racist to the same extent as you are an intellectual.

How can not having many ethnics in his movies make him racist? That says more about the OP than the filmmaker

The OP reminds me of the guy in Do The Right Thing that asks Sal "why are there no brothers on the wall?" Who gives a flying fvck if his films aren't "diverse?" Cronenberg is a genius and maybe he's not preoccupied with such stupidity. It certainly doesn't prove that he's racist! Why even bring this garbage up?

How is it racist if he doesn't have black people in his films???
Here is the definition since you obviously are some millennial that don't know what words mean
racism - the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
now how does not having black characters constitute racism at all???
if you grow up around mainly white people then your stories might consist of mainly white people

Canadians aren't as obsessed with race as Americans.

Right. Some oversight. Jung seems like a pretty typical Jewish name though - I've known two people named Jung and both were Jews.
"facts are stupid things" Ronald Reagan

Oh yeah? And which films would those be? I can't even recall any characters in his films that are identified as Jewish - besides Freud and Jung, obviously.
Jung wasn't Jewish - he was Freud's "Aryan Prince"!
I got news for em. Theres gonna be hell to pay. Cause I aint Daddys little boy no more

Oh yeah? And which films would those be? I can't even recall any characters in his films that are identified as Jewish - besides Freud and Jung, obviously.
"facts are stupid things" Ronald Reagan

Yes, he's a jewish supremacist, as some of his films prove.

of the top of my head one of the guys trying to kill the good guy in scanners is black
but not having minorities in your movie is not racist. putting minorities in there as a token is racist.

Maybe he doesn't feel the need to prove anyone he's no "racist" by arbitrarily casting blacks in his movies for no other reason than to keep the PC brigade happy. Him being Canadian and most of his movies taking place in Canada might also be a factor.
"facts are stupid things" Ronald Reagan

Hello latherzap,
Yeah, perhaps I tried my best to use the safest words possible, but only because I wanted to give Cronenberg the benefit of the doubt and would never even dream to label him a bigot if the thought had not crossed my mind.
I have yet to see Cosmopolis. The black nurse in Eastern Promises is very much an extra, so I have a hard time counting that.
The Canadian thing could be quite a big factor, true. But isn't he from Toronto where it's quite cosmopolitan and diverse? Guess he must film in more rural parts of Canada, and it's definitely something that would be a factor, so fair enough. I just felt the need to discuss it as i hadn't seeing discuss anywhere.
My strength is greater than my weakness

Somehow "potentially racist" just sounds funny. Like if one were trying to identify bigots, that would be the safest least offensive label to use when there's no evidence. A description one could freely throw around.
Still, you are right that there are few Latinos and blacks in his movies. But there are three blacks in Cosmopolis (five if you count a black extra eating at the diner, and a dead rapper). Believe a black man is briefly seen whipped in Videodrome. Black nurse in Eastern. But, yes, white skin is everywhere.
But seriously, I'm sure the largely white casting is because (excepting Maps) he's Canadian and all of his films are shot entirely in Canada and usually co-funded by the government. It's natural that he often (not always) uses Canadian actors and in fact the use of taxes to co-fund his films makes him legally obligated to have x amount of Canadians.

Ok no problem. See you are a Buffy fan too. Nice.
My strength is greater than my weakness

I have, dude.
Let's be bad guys.

Well care to weigh in on it a bit, dude?
My strength is greater than my weakness

Yes.
Let's be bad guys.
