    Being a white male is still the easiest gig in this country.

    You must be terrible at it if you're going to run away.
    There is no guarantee this will remain the case. It is more likely higher qualified white males will need to compete for less positions. Think of a Pepsi commercial where there is now only space for 1 white male to make room for all the other demographics.

    If I was born in the USA, my family were here and I only spoke 1 language then I'd stay.

    That is how multiculturalism operates - each demographic pulling in their own direction seeking to be represented.

    I'm sorry you didn't get the Pepsi commercial gig. You just can't cut it in this country.

    In what way does that make a difference?

    "It's OK to about a character having a different colour of skin ir that character isn't a human"
    Because aliens come in all different colors, there is zero need to suspend disbelief.

    If Heimdall was green it wouldn't matter.

    See? The people for whom Elba would be the first Bond wouldn't see it as a big deal either.

    I'm incredulous that we're still having this conversation a solid decade after the casting of Nick Fury.
    Was Fury suppossed to be a white guy originally?

    I didn't know about Nick Fury before the Ironman movie, that's why I prefer Samuel Jackson to David ing Hasselhoff. But if Nick Fury was first thought as a white guy I can understand guys preferring him to be played by a white guy. I wouldn't dismiss them and call them racist just because of that, tbh.

    Instead of a matter of black and White, it's a matter of yellow or purple. How is that different?

    We should ask a hardcore Nick Fury fan if he was cool with the change when he first saw it.

    He's an alien. Black guy as a common guy and White guy as Superman or visceversa. That should have been a better disguise than ing glases, tbh.

    What non-human character are you referring to.

    Honestly, I have no idea what your main point is. You seem to be all over the place.

    My argument was with the poster that has Thanos as his username. I asked him if instead of Thanos being faithfully represented (acording to the source material) in the last Avengers movie, he would have had long blonde hair and yellow skin (non character defining traits), if he would have been cool with that. And his answer implied that he obviously wasn't, so then I pointed out that preferring purple over yellow, to stay faithful to the character, is the same as preferring white over black, to stay faithful to the character.

    Why?

    What is the reasoning in taking well know/famous literary characters and doing whatever ya want with them? , a black Sherlock Holmes? An Asian Tarzan? A white Fu Manchu?

    You want to make things as close to the books as ya can.

    True, it was critical to make Zemo as accurate as possible for the Civil War movie.
