DL: Johnny Depp will star as The Invisible Man (but how will you be sure?) slipping jimmy Feb 09, 17:00

I wonder if if it woulda infringed on Ralph Ellison's work if they had cast an African-American. {nm} Antibody Feb 09, 17:13

Diversity means one of the monster will be a minority. :) That leaves Wolfman and Creature from the Black Lagoon. {nm} Antibody Feb 09, 17:27

One persons diversity is another persons political correctness. Frankly it's getting tiresome. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 09, 17:30

It's gonna continue to be tiresome for you until Hollywood actually reflect American moviegoers. {nm} Antibody Feb 09, 17:33

Benico Del Toro already did it! (Wolfman!) {nm} notfabio Feb 09, 17:30

True. Hopefully they'll continue the theme for the modern update. {nm} Antibody Feb 09, 17:33

What, the Wolfman HAS to be Latino? What about the Native American Community? You need to open it up, c'mon! {nm} goodvibe61 Feb 09, 20:20

I didn't say that. I've been using 'minority' in the duversity discussion. {nm} Antibody Feb 10, 08:12

Diversity achieved through negative social sanctions is, in itself, a racist construct {nm} Chimpmuck Feb 09, 17:33

Nahh, achieving diversity is a postive, not negative. Antibody Feb 09, 17:40

Noting like fighting racism with more racism {nm} Bleachigo Feb 09, 20:59

There is no such thing as racism aganist the majority that holds the power in Hpllywood and society in general. Antibody Feb 10, 08:18

Diversity "can" be a positive. Diversity based on meritocracy goes much father. They need better stories, period.......... Baron_Darcon Feb 09, 21:01

That's an excellent point but....please don't forget the issue is not exclusive to one party Bleachigo Feb 09, 21:45

Yup I'm always surprised at the lack of asians and hispanics in movies or on TV shows, often the token minority is black though, my asian Baron_Darcon Feb 09, 23:06

Screw that racist 14th ammendment {nm} Moviesnob Feb 09, 19:09

That amendment is about equal protection under the law. "Diversity" is not synonymous with equality but rather identity politics {nm} Chimpmuck Feb 09, 19:31
