There is certainly ongoing concern about the representation of BAMEs, and women in Hollywood - but not in the direction you suggest.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.
I always try this double standard test with people who get upset about the race discussion.
If Norwegians went to Japan and took over the media and declared that Burmese were the new Japanese-and started putting more Burmese people (and perhaps also Norwegians and Poles) on Japanese media--and said Japanese media needs to be multicultural--would you consider that cultural imperialism or cultural genocide?
Do you believe Japanese people-the ethnic population, have a right to control their media, yes or no?
If you say yes, then you must agree the same holds true for the native population of US or England etc.
And then you would be agreeing with Lovecraft and Capote.
Or perhaps you believe in one size fits all media and art and Japan's culture should be erased too?
We'll find out.
And your information about Hollywood catering to the youth market is a little out of date. Asia is the new market-even though Star Wars bombed there and they aren't panicking.
