Whilst I agree with Idris & love him as a actor did he not cast a white man in his film trying to speak patois? I thought was awful & cringe worthy. The film was good but I could not understand why he would do that. When a black actor could have played that part.

Or how about the best actor gets the role regardless of race, gender etc.

Haven't seen anything on TV without any colour people on it ! Why insist yourselves on others ?

one with etherosexual people? or like Netflix constant gay propaganda?

Truth is, White actors don't ask. Privilege is so poisonous, those in power don't speak out.

The BAME's are changing our way of life while it is them that are the racists? They didn't invent the wheel, penicilin, electricity or the telephone? All they have is their history and they want to erase it? While bringing us down with their thuggery, looting and vandalism?

Diversity! - The marxist politics of the woke. - Bigots use the term diversity because they see immutable characteristics like colour of skin, ethnicity & sex, as more important than the persons qualities, skill or work they put in. They are actual Bigots!

He said That because it's white

How much diversity is there in Bollywood? Or the Japanese film industry? Very little. It's getting old that only majority white nations are endlessly guilt tripped about being 'too white '.

I agree, I haven't seen many eastern Asian actors in movies he starred and I hope he'll give up his next role to one
