Because you are espousing distasteful anti-Semitic opinions - ones moreover not even relevant to the original discussion which, I think, reveals your agenda more than that of Hollywood's.
Hollywood announced the top paid actress in Hollywood is an Israeli.There's no hiding it.
This seems to exercise you more than it ever would I. I wonder why?
And back to the first point, it is clear that Hollywood sees movies as a vehicle for propaganda first and foremost--thus they phase out the white characters. They have Black panther coming which will die in China -even though they have said Asia is their main audience now. If you cannot see the inconsistency in their reporting I am afraid you are beyond help with it. Next you will be telling me the Kardashians were on tv because people asked for them.
As said before, you have your opinions - and you're welcome to them.
An example of the dishonesty by these "business driven" companies. Disney cast a mixed race woman for a character meant to be blonde and blue-eyed, and explained it by saying the mixed-race actress gave the best audition. How did someone who was not fitting the profile of the character get an audition if they did not intend to cast someone other than white?
You certainly seem preoccupied with supposed controversies over race, whether Jewish or otherwise. And imply world-wide (Jewish?) conspiracies, hoary and discredited stuff indeed. But given that you have approvingly quoted the reprehensible views of Lovecraft ("Taste is insidiously moulded along non-Aryan lines ... which does not represent us" or Capote's "Jewish Mafia" et al), this is not a surprise. There is certainly ongoing concern about the representation of BAMEs, and women in Hollywood - but not in the direction you suggest.
If Hollywood is driven by profit as you say then they will respond to the recent Star Wars negativity among audiences by changing direction. I will bet they will not. Even you should agree that if they care about markets they would not hire a director who said Annie Hall is his favorite movie to direction a science fiction action film. Clearly they were not worried about risks (as they claim when people ask why movies are getting dumber)..
As I understand it, the last Star Wars film has won praise from critics and viewers (I have read some glowing reviews here in the UK for instance). Some people of course will always find things to fault. And the supposed dumbing down of recent Hollywood suggests a concern to reduce risk by relentlessly appealing to the largest cinema-going constituency, adolescents and teenagers, rather than anything else.
