LAT: British actors of color may have it worse than Americans Antibody Mar 08, 09:29

Many of the folks you have listed have found their most success in American productions, and a few are even mentioned bennyg1985 Mar 08, 10:02

Did you read the article? Several said they had to come to Hollywood for better roles. {nm} Antibody Mar 08, 10:08

Reading Articles is so Over-Rated. Captain Obvious Mar 08, 10:15

I read it and it's obvious that the author doesn't understand British culture. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 08, 10:20

BuzzFeed (1/5/15): The Rise Of The Black British Actor In America AFRAM The African American Fund Mar 08, 10:23

The LAT is talking about the British Film industry and how it's dominated by an elite class educated in private schools. {nm} Antibody Mar 08, 10:25

So not about 'actors of color' as you originally posted but more an issue of class, which affects the white working class equally. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 08, 10:31

No, the people in postions of power are white. Persons of color just aren't considered in non-race specific roles. {nm} Antibody Mar 08, 10:36

You're wrong. The people in power are upper class. People who aren't part of that elite are are considered period. hyperzeitgeist Mar 08, 10:46

are *not*. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 08, 10:47

And actors of color face a double whammy of class and race. {nm} Antibody Mar 08, 11:15

It seems like u just make all this up. {nm} tteddy286 Mar 08, 13:08

Affects the white working class, yes, but like the article suggests, probably not equally. {nm} RogerMore Mar 08, 11:10

theguardian (9/28/15): Roles in UK for black and minority ethnic actors worse than ever, claims David Oyelowo AFRAM The African American Fund Mar 08, 10:25

A similar story is already linked in the LAT article Antibody Mar 08, 10:29

You don't say. Worse than the multi-multi-millionaire, ultra-famous black American actors? Say it isn't so. {nm} PhoneHome Mar 08, 10:30

You can believe whatever you want to believe. Persons of color just aren't considered in non-race specific roles. {nm} Antibody Mar 08, 10:35

You just don't get it. Unlike the US the issue is all about class. Racism is secondary to that. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 08, 10:50

even people in the upper class face racism. {nm} Moviesnob Mar 08, 10:56

Only if you believe the token example in the article. Evidence all those privileged children of black African despots that attend... hyperzeitgeist Mar 08, 11:01

who can still experience racism despite attending privileged schools. Thats one of the points of the article. {nm} Moviesnob Mar 08, 11:12

Yes, I believe people who LIVED through the racism firsthand rather than the peanut gallery. {nm} Antibody Mar 08, 11:17

Who are the 'Peanut Gallery'? {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 08, 11:19

OK, so I googled it. I'm presuming that your response to people that disagree with you is to make derogatory remarks... hyperzeitgeist Mar 08, 11:34

Not to take away from your experience, but no you haven't lived through racism experienced by actors of color. Antibody Mar 08, 12:17

You are so wrong. People of color today haven't experienced racism either. They just want to be hand fed. There tteddy286 Mar 08, 12:49

Person of color over here who has experienced racism first-hand. Overt racism. "Ching chong ching" racism. Paul2k Mar 08, 16:07

So Viscount Weymouths wife will only have problems with her class not her race,touch naive me thinks. {nm} blaze223 Mar 08, 11:47

Viscountess Weymouth, formerly Emma McQuiston, is the daughter of a Nigerian oil Tycoon. Rather makes my point. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 08, 12:00

Not a belief. An observation. The money-making side of Hollywood will cast green, orange, or polka-dot people if it puts butts in seats. {nm} PhoneHome Mar 08, 10:56

If you want to experience actual discrimination, try being overweight in Hollywood. {nm} PhoneHome Mar 08, 11:18

People aren't born overwweight. {nm} Antibody Mar 08, 11:29

Ohhh, so they deserve to be discriminated against. And yes, people are born with genetic dispostions towards obesity. {nm} PhoneHome Mar 08, 12:47

Didn't say that, but weight is not a protected class of discrimination. {nm} Antibody Mar 08, 14:01

Wow, did you just say that? This makes my case. The whining is about entitlement, not equal treatment of equal talent. {nm} PhoneHome Mar 08, 16:35

Honestly I think this is the worst comment u have made Bleachigo Mar 08, 17:42

Some of you are heavily invested in disproving the existence of privilege. DaveyWayne Mar 08, 12:43

Maybe some are just more interested in focusing on a common solution rather than proof of existence Bleachigo Mar 08, 18:22
