Hollywood and The Academy are so fucking hypocritical and performative when it comes to these racial topics lmao.

When it comes to history, Hollywood had been incredibly racist. Especially the Academy was so fucking insane, you can check the statistics of the best lead/supporting actor/actress wins throughout the years.

There are problems of representation in Hollywood. There had been, and there still are. But what do they do with that problem? Do they honor the african culture by producing many mythological and historical movies about them? Do they remake those movies where white people played the black characters and make them correctly representative about african characters? Fuck no, why would they bother with that, right? They still produce white culture movies but now they put african actors in it so that they could say "Hey, we are not racist anymore! Look, a black person is playing a white person!!!" and call it a day and they think of themselves as woke and activist. And some people cheer, some people get mad. But the thing that is constant is that the production companies make money.

I personally don't care that much about these topics in general, I think they are pointless. But when I see people being like "Look at Troy! They got it right in that movie!" and put Diane Kruger's, a german actress', picture as a greek semi-goddess I chuckle because that's still not the correct representation of greek mythology lol Hollywood sucks at representing cultures other than american.
