I saw #CrazyRichAsians today and it was really good. But since there are some VERY VERY specific white people complaining about why black and Asian Americans are making a big deal out of this movie. I'll break it down for you.(A thread)
The last Hollywood film with a predominantly Asian cast was the "#JoyLuckClub" which was released 25 years ago. From the Motion picture association of America, on average 600 films made in America, are released every year. So about over 15,000 films have been made since 1993.
People like to point out since America is predominately white, they have more white cast movies. Asians are minorities in America (they make up about 5.6%). So by fair logic 5.6% of 15,000 movies (IN AMERICA) is about 840.
840 movies that could or should've been made. However not even 8 movies have been made with an Asian cast like this since the 90's.
So if you're feeling some type of way that there are big Hollywood action or drama movies with all black or all Asian casts now. You need to mind your own business and come back for the next block buster which is most likely gonna have white people in it.
Seriously go see #CrazyRichAsians, Non-caricature representations are a breath of fresh air. #WakandaForever #CrazyRichAsians black #RepresentationMatters
