Lack of Diversity

It is really painful to go through movies like these and actually try to stomach the false reality that there are no minorities in this movie. God, these movies are horribly dated. America was so damn bigoted pre-2000 that it is down right disgusting.

I went to a southern California high school in the late '60s. There was not one black kid.

We should erase these films from existence, or at least digitally insert more racially/ethnically correct actors in place of the hideously white cast.

My school only had 9 or 10 black kids out of 1500 kids. This was the 50's, so it isn't unusual to have mostly white kids in the school. Can't go back and change the past.

You do realize that Danny Z is the diversity in this film, right?

F**k diversity.

That is how many high schools looked in the 1950's.
Don't like it?
Tough shit.
You miserable leftist.

You're the one who sounds miserable. LOL
"'F**k diversity' because I know I'm going extinct.
Get with it or stand to the side.

This doesn't make any sense.

It's a 1970s movie about a high school in the 1950s....what exactly were you hoping to find?

Wait, there’s CGI now. “Grease Redux”
