Dude I already had this exact same discussion with another person in this same thread, and they never replied.

Even if we skip ahead and take it is a "necessity" that movies "have" to be to be diverse, then why are 99.999% of other minority groups not even given a tiny ounce of the representation and attention gay people get on TV and movies? Why does "diversity" only mean gay people, and a very select few others?

You're arguing that movies should not exclude any group? I'm right there with you. I don't see why any group should be excluded.

If you're going to make all movies social causes, and expect diversity - then you have to be outraged out of your mind that an absurd about of other minority groups are nearly always excluded.

No, not "outraged out of my mind". I've no idea what would make you think that. But I'm certainly with you in being fine with lots of diversity.

It's good that we've found common ground to agree on.

....because you would need every movie to be about 50 hours long to include even a fair portion of minorities?

Are there going to be native American characters in Beauty and the Best? Will there be Russians? Albinos? Former African child soldiers? No? Then man, why is Disney so bigoted and racist??
