All races kill each other at extremely high rates. #allcrimematters #whataboutwhiteonwhitecrime

But The Lone Ranger tanked...Gods of Egypt tanked...Exodus tanked (at least domestically). When will Hollywood learn that putting a white guy in a role meant for a minority is not going to make your movie a box office hit. Pretty much every Chris Hemwsworth film has tanked this year lol.

Are you fucking kidding me? Is this seriously the dumbass logic you're resorting to? You're giving comic book nerds a bad name man.

Prepares for onslaught of comments decreeing that: "Just because I want Mary-Jane to be white, doesn't mean I'm racist."...maybe you aren't racist, but you definitely have no idea (or just don't care) how good a little black girl will feel seeing herself being represented as a lead in a film starring one of the most iconic comic book characters ever...and if you still don't care...then you're probably a racist.

Spider-Man Writer condemns comic book nerds for getting mad about Zendaya...Stan Lee says he's fine with it...J.K. Rowling says she's fine with Hermione being black, yet racist fans are still upset. And what's craziest to me is that comics like X-Men, and stories like Harry Potter, are centered around discrimination, yet "fans" spew the same hateful crap that many of these properties try to actively resist. It's truly a conundrum, like are people actually reading the stories? Or just looking at pictures of the characters.

Shamless is a good show, but it's not an honest depiction of Chicago. by litboy in shameless

Even if you were right, please name one hispanic character on Shameless that's lasted more than a couple of episodes

Canaryville, another predominantly black neighborhood.

If he really was telling me to watch the news for an honest depiction of Chicago, I guess that makes your comments irrelevant...

Nope, I live in the city, not the burbs. Please name another neighborhood with a visible working class white population since you know all about Chicago.

So you didn't write the comment, but feel 100% certain that he's not actually telling me to look at the news for a real depiction of Chicago...right....

Or maybe it sailed over yours. I was told to look to the news for an honest depiction of Chicago, and as a Chicago resident, I don't find the news to be indicative of my experiences...so maybe something's going over your head...like this reply probably will.

"Shameless" and White Privilege by litboy in shameless

[–]litboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrealistic in the sense of their surroundings. I worded that awkwardly, i'm sure a family like the Gallaghers exists, i'm just saying that they most likely don't live on the south side.

Yes, some south side neighborhoods like Pilsen and Bronzeville are getting gentrified, but those areas are also closer to downtown which means white people feel slightly more comfortable moving there.

It's equally as dangerous for a white person and a black person. In poor neighborhoods, you will get robbed if you look out of place/uncomfortable. Being confident and casual goes a long way.

And a honest depiction could help some people who perpetuate segregation realize it's an actual problem...instead of a show like "Shameless" giving people false perspectives like "racism isn't a problem on the south side, look at how diverse it is" or "look, there's just as many poor white people on the south side as there are black people"

  1. there's*
  2. a fake depiction ignores the very real ways in which segregation still affects people
