Yeah, I know we're as guilty as they are
Take pity on us lord Gritty
so by more movies you mean Solo: A Star Wars Story, yes?
No time when TLJ can be discussed for years
Well, a lot of people who hate TLJ would identify as Republican...
:(good rule for life: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is
.
No one surveyed me.
I am like 90% certain nobody will remember this shit in like 3 days
Yeah get ready for a lot of that.Just found out I'm a monster because I don't like TLJ, I had no idea
Ohhhhhhh my god
For the love of god I didn't make this up. I'm sorry it pisses you off that passing as white is a privilege.

the insinuations that tons of posters on this extremely liberal forum are actually racists / misogynists in disguise because they dont like a movie is really weird.
Then stop making this about you. This is about Oscar Isaac changing his Latino surname to something that sounded white so he could get more roles (look it up) and get cast as white folk singers or "Bud Cooper" or "Michael Perry" or fucking Prince John In Robin Hood.I'm light skinned but I have never, once, passed off as white. Again, thank you sir woke for letting me know that I'm just not brown enough for you.
Hey Trump, just give me that citizenship already bro, SugarNoodles over here knows all about my white privilege.
I'm talking about Star Wars. It's an incredible feat to even fuck up the movies that came before it.
I just watch TLJ on repeat with a notebook and pen so I can study it for future TLJ threads.
I really don't care what you believe, but trying to connect right-win/Republicanism with not liking TLJ is some hot bullshit.
No, it really isn't. Did you look at reddit and Twitter after it released?

https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/...cause-they-thought-i-was-jewish-a3691551.htmlHas Oscar Isaac ever done that?
He seems to be pretty damn proud of his heritage.
Yeah, how dare I, a Latino, talk about issues dealing with Latinos.Then stop making this about you. This is about Oscar Isaac changing his Latino surname to something that sounded white so he could get more roles (look it up) and get cast as white folk singers or "Bud Cooper" or "Michael Perry" or fucking Prince John In Robin Hood.
Claiming that he doesn't benefit from white privilege is disingenuous as hell.
Which brings us back around to the fact that Poe's character is ABSOLUTELY relevant to white privilege in the context of TLJ.
No one has said that. There has been some hyperbole or comparisons you could argue are perhaps daft, but what you've claimed is a strawman.Jesus, now anyone who dislikes TLJ is a Republican. The logic is strong with this one.
They're so brave for admitting they dislike TLJ.
There's a connotation to "white privilege" as an instrinisc advantage from birth. Many light-skinned Latinos don't feel that way as they come from families and areas that often identify as non-white or marginalized. I understand saying he benefits from "white privilege" because he can pass as white, but that seems more based in colorism than what people typically mean when they say someone has "white privilege".Then stop making this about you.

I dont think it would be reasonable to say that characters depicted as men of color in Hollywood media get afforded the same lenience as someone like Poe.There's a connotation to "white privilege" as an instrinisc advantage from birth.

Also, I'd argue Poe's character is based around masculinity itself rather than "white male privilege".

It wasn't so much Hollywood that I thinking about. This was before I even went to Juilliard, when I was an actor in Miami. Oscar Hernandez is like John Smith down there… so I wanted to differentiate myself.
Casting directors, especially when you're starting out, there's not a lot of imagination yet, so they kind of just pigeonhole you as one thing and I was hoping they'd see me for other roles, not just "The Gangster" or whatever.
