More rules from the PC race commissars who put Trump in the White House

Why do you think Breitbart, Fox, and the like so love to publicize this stuff?

White people are not to be portrayed as, in any manner or sense of the term, rescuing people who are not white.

And such portrayals are to be scorned and greeted with contempt.

So, no more movies about Lincoln, LBJ, John Brown, John Quincy Adams, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, and so on.

So when whites play the heroes in action films in which the people they save are not white, a line is crossed, blame and scorn are distributed, guilt assessed, and apologies demanded.

Tom Cruise better be damned careful, is all I can say.

But if you must have white characters fighting to save nonwhites, that is permitted if you portray them as intellectually, morally, or otherwise inferior to the nonwhites, as Jonathan Kim explains.

No, ‘The Great Wall’ Isn’t Racist Whitewashing

Also to be scorned and blamed is whitewashing, perhaps by the same people who wanted Idris Elba to be the next James Bond.

Olivier played Othello and the Mahdi in blackface.

Brilliant, both times, though his efforts to have a black walk and black glutes in the former were a bit comic.

If Elba played Macbeth, how would you make him look white?

Whiteface?

Update 2/6/19.

But is any such stage convention really necessary, anyway?

Who does not know Macbeth is a Scottish noble with too much ambition and too push a wife?

If Idris Elba played him without any cosmetic alteration, we could all just agree the excellent black actor on the stage, who looks like an excellent black actor on the stage, is all the same playing a white character?

And I guess that would be our new stage convention.

If a person of race X plays a character of race Y the audience just needs to be otherwise apprised of the fact than by cosmetic effects.
