So while browsing my ONTD site for gossip I came upon this post about Woody Allen. Now I know, he's been in the news with the child molestation accusations. But let's put that aside for now. This is about his career as a director. Woody Allen is know for movies based around the New York life. And if you've been to New York, you will notice something. It's all white people! Well according to Mr Allen, it is.
See, he doesn't cast black people in his movies. Go on, google away. There's like less than a handful of back ground story actors that are black in his movies. I mean maybe 2. Because Woody Allen's New York is..white. I know. I've been to New York. Pst. It's not so!
Any number of his movies could have been performed by any race. Because occupation isn't race related. I think this is silent racism. No New Yorker can be played by any other race because the defacto race, according to him, his white.
Even in predominantly black directors there are numerous castings of all races. And not just in the background to move the story along either. But in predominant roles to the story.
So what say you?
This is about Woody Allen and not about the whole entire world and how racism is wrong and blah blah. Don't derail mah thread. It's a good one! Only YOU can prevent thread death!:=I:
