Reply to comment by Foxhound97_ in Why Film Festivals Are Steering Clear of Controversial Movies by BobRobot77

You kind of proved my point here, minorities have not had any issue in the last 20-30 years telling their stories. There has been almost no pushback to that from studios, in fact minorities are far, far over-represented in film and TV compared to the national demographics.

Some white people have gotten pushback for trying to tell black stories, but does that really surprise you?

I gave you an example from each decade and one of them is a white guy who had almost no black people critique his work negatively (although that's mostly because he's from a journalism background so he actually knows how to research properly).

I also don't think you understand what we're talking about I'm talking about writers and directors not actors.
