A Thought Exercise for White People reading this.
How much #entertainment do you consume - #books, #movies, #TVshows, #music, etc. - that doesn't feature a white male lead or isn't written, produced or directed by white males?
Do you patronize businesses that are not owned or operated by White males?
This isn't a judgement or accusation. I'm not looking for answers so there's no need to comment. This is just something to think about.
@ADignorantium I consume what I like. I don't consume it based on quotas. Since I am a latin male, I assume you didn't want my answer, though.
@ADignorantium That's fair. But for me, the importance is the story, the type of story, the kind of music, etc. Whether the lead characters are male, female, gay, straight, black, white, asian, etc., don't seem to matter as long as the story being told appeals to my sensibilities. I recently read a sci-fi series called Star Kingdon in which the lead character was a Jewish Nerd. It woulld never have occurred to me to find out he was a Jewish nerd ahead of time.
@Iskios I would never stop someone from giving an opinion.
This thought experiment is as much about my own consumption as anyone else's. 🙂
