    It’s just racist. For a long time gay actors were afraid to come out because they would be stuck only playing gay parts (very few).

    Black people need to get together and protest. They need to convince directors that they can play white characters too! Black actors shouldn’t be afraid to come out as black.

      That is true. They changed him to look like Sam Jackson. And then they started making Marvel movies afterwards, and were able to cast him as Nick Fury.

      Plus you’re just repeating what multiple other people have already said a day ago.
