Diversity: Blacks will be given a prominent role in this movie.

So glad you think that a strong black woman is bullshit!

I think you meant most racists, not most people.

"Blind casting is fine with me. But I can’t stand when they cast an American as a Brit and the actor cannot get the accent right. "

I know what you mean. It was usually painful and sometimes laughable listening to Brit Charlie Hunnam stumble his way trying to fake an American accent on Sons of Anarchy. The limey within was evident in every episode.

But you're OK with white supremacists. Hmmm...

It's hilarious that this is so confusing for you. They are entertainers. Do you think that white people didn't pay black people to sing for them in the 1930s? You're not upset because people are changing characters or the story around. You're upset because people want to show more diversity in movies and television. You think there's an "agenda" when the real agenda has been trying to keep storylines out that show poor people as morally good and talented, black people as hardworking and law-abiding, gay people as someone who is just like any other neighbor or trans people who are just living their lives and not trying to groom children or force being trans on others. You want for people to have the same fears that your pathetic, spineless self has. Luckily, more and more people are telling folks like you to stuff it.

You're an idiot. And a racist.

We want to see minorities in the movies, but we don't want to see minorities in roles in which they shouldn't be (due to historical, social, bla bla, reasons).

Want to have strong black women in movies? Do it right, a la Black Panther which is filled with strong black women and people didn't really had issues with their color.

Get the idea: yes, don't change MY stories to include YOUR characters, write your own fucking stories and include whatever characters you like.

Plain and simple.

I know he is a British police inspector and I always assumed he was white. Japp is a German/Dutch surname that is a shortened form of Jacoby. The only description of him was that he was ferret-faced but another inspector from the Sherlock Holmes stories was also described as ferret-face. I'm not familiar with the term ferret face and I will never use it.

It sounds like they forgot what a mystery show is supposed to be about. The viewer shouldn't be able to solve the mystery right away. It reminds me of how Guy Ritchie turned Sherlock Holmes movies into adventure movies. Ritchie broke down the whole investigative process into a flurry of jump cuts.
