Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[Bourne_Endeavor]

20% is not small by any means, and certainly not small enough to justify the poor representation in media. 1 in 5 is a significant amount considering the number of characters in any given TV show or film, and even more so among the number of notable celebrities. Multi-culturalism is growing, but there will always be closet racists who dig in their heels and cause an uproar. I didn't agree with the Chinese dress being cultural appropriation, and from what I saw, neither did most people, Chinese or not.

In the grand scheme of things, yes, it is. Now that does not mean we cannot strive for better representation in areas where it's lacking, but that also means you will never have completely equal representation because Western civilization isn't equally diverse. Nor is any developed nation the world over.

Yes, it's clearly their fault they're under-represented. They enjoy being held to white standards for beauty across all media and having to see themselves as either awkward caricatures or not at all. There is no sexism or racism or bias, and to imply otherwise and make the majority uncomfortable is just plain rude and insensitive.

It must be a lovely little bubble you live in.

Considering you literally put words in my mouth, I could say the same to you. Please. Quote where I said there is no sexism or racism in the world. If you bothered to read, you'll have noticed I said precisely the opposite. Likewise, I said they are at fault for blaming everyone else as though some invisible boogeyman is holding them back. Statistics have argued against numerous claims of supposed "oppression" yet they're often ignored or purposely misrepresented. They aren't being held to any standard, at least to the extent you're insinuating, otherwise you wouldn't see Beyoncé cited as one of the most beautiful women in the world. But, of course, let's blame everything on that boogeyman again. Maybe you need to step outside your bubble and stop following Internet trends.

This is the exact reason blaming everything on racism and sexism causes far greater problems than it ever helps. You devalue their significance when those issues are, in fact, genuine. Of course, my saying racism and sexism aren't nearly as prevalent you're insinuating somehow means they don't exist. Need to establish that black and white dichotomy.
