How do we know they didn't go to Egypt and try to find people? I mean, were not in those meetings (I'm not at least) so it's unknown the thought process, especially when it's a big name actor that carries a huge following v some unknown. Point blank period, Christian Bale is going to get more bucks than some no name Arab...at some point it's a money thing.
What identifiable harm does not having a black lead have? How many black leads until we're satisfied? We're 17% -20% of the population, I think we get at least 10% of lead roles in Hollywood major releases, I ain't mad at that, aren't as many great black actors active as white actors, ain't ideal but I'm satisfied, especially with black Hollywood cranking out hits as a supplement.
I dig what your saying, I just think it's an outdated argument. Also, black peopme dont want to see black folk shine, we can talk about that also. We complain about Tyler Perry and Kevin Hart being everywhere, but there's two black people getting it, even though ill never watch his movies, Tyler Perry should get a movie every year.
I need identifiable harm it's doing. 2014 is to liberal, the arguments have been the same for to long for me to truly believe Hollywood is setting black folks back. Marlon Wayans just made a sequel to a movie, written, starred in and produced by him, made crazy bread...but, of course, a lot of black folk dislike the Wayans 'they're clowns.'
Honestly, I'm just tired, tired of fake outrage at every turn. There are things that need to be fought (education/prison) but Hollywood has improved to the point I can just enjoi good movies w/o wearing my black fist medallion.
But ah, if that's your cross, go for it. More black actors/directors/producers ain't a bad thing.

If this bothers you, YOU are the racist
Word, y'all got it. If I made it an issue and you see it as a non-issue, that's fine.
But to me it's an issue. Can I look past it and respect the craft, yes. But I still feel I place a valid comment on the film and others.
I understand everything about the money that companies funnel into films, y'all aren't teaching me anything.
The video above shows two non african american males making the exact same claim I made. But for me, "it's not an issue, get over it."
Clowns. You woulda thought I was questioning where my 40 acres is.
This is a non issue you're Turing into a racial issue. What if this actors were just the better than other minority actors? No, has to be Hollywood only wanting white actors. Why don't You take it a step further and claim Hollywood only wants Jewish actors in all their movies?
Wait, are you?
Look, if you truly understand about movie studios wanting to get the best return on investment, then this thread wouldn't exist.
Or do you want to ignore that, in order to justify your anger?

Lol, son I'm getting my masters in film and television production, I'll graduate in November.
I know the game, I understand you have to play it. It just sucks that I feel underrepresented.
I'm not boycotting or burning down a studio over a film, but I'm commenting on my feelings.
I understand, but you have to keep your feelings in check when there is a logical explanation to what you perceive as a problem. Instead, you choose to make it something it's not.

Reads 20 unrelated twitter posts for 2080 words, refuses to read 300 words on race and film, wonders why people call Americans dumb...
