Imagine if I robbed a bank and the description given on an APB was: Animal: Mammal: Primate - none are inaccurate, but not specific enough. And based on colloquial use, police would probably be looking for a gorilla based on the word "primate" instead of a homosapien (which itself would be far too general to be of any help as it wouldn't differentiate from over 7 billion others). Or what if I were described as North American - it wouldn't be of much use is all I'm saying.

If Hollywood wants a character of a certain ethnicity, then use one already established or create a new one, rather than alter an existing & established character. |

And yeah, it would be ridiculous to have a non-black actor playing the role of a character who's whole being is about his roots.

Re: Forced diversity in Hollywood
Rather than bother about ethnic diversity in Hollywood and all that , why don't you white people produce more children? Your numbers are declining alarmingly. All that white folks have is pets . And pets aren't substitute for children.

(Hey, I don't have either!) But Indians are not declining in numbers. So I don't feel any responsibility to increase numbers of my people. |

OK so Bunker, have you actually given a reason why this pisses you off so much? |

The Indians from the subcontinent have high income and high standard of living--at least those who have migrated to America. So they are not a problem. They contribute in a positive way to America.
