Stop whining about white egyptians..


Not all characters were white, only the Gods, and main human characters.
Among the slaves building pyramids there were hardly any white characters. Diversity was really well handled IMHO.

Too many whites for this kind of movie in my opinion. Actually that's based on historical facts, but still my opinion.

So you reckon every multi-billion dollar industry should be allowed to use "our customers don't like looking at Blacks, Asians, Hispanics or Arabs, so we try to avoid hiring them" as an excuse? Or is it just filmmakers that should be allowed engage in racial discrimination?

Having to listen to arguments justifying de facto racial discrimination in 2016 is mind-boggling.

I should put you as an extra in a movie so that people won't say my movie has too many smart and polite humans. Or maybe they will complain that everyone is too smart and polite of I they do that because all of them will be contrasted against you? People complain about everything, eh?

This movie is garbage in every capacity

Nope. It was awesome and fun!

that's even worse, saying the divine beings were white. All the major western religions started in the Middle East -- the gods should be Middle Eastern for sure.
