Here's a hint, when you go through dozens of examples and you have an excuse for every single one, as in a plethora of separate and independent excuses, you have a pattern of excuses. One excuse is ok, but when all you have is excuses (ten years old ! franchise ! marvel ! titanic ! disney ! ), you're not looking at exceptions you're looking at a pattern of excuses, and thus you should re-think things..
Man, I'm going to discontinue the argument for the sake of our general getting along and agreeance on most subjects on these forums, but I leave you with some closing thoughts:
You demonstrated with each post you respond to that you don't want equality of opportunity; you want equality of outcome and I'm sorry, but no fair society works that way and franky you can get out of my face with the "You've been handed things you just don't realize it!" Like you know me and my life. Your mythical "white privilege" is so blatantly a result of your ideological lense, that you have to resort to rationalizing the lack of benefits for a supposed beneficiary by saying "it's there! You just don't realize it!". Get real. Drive around the trailer parks loaded with poor white people or come up here and tell the homeless white people to their faces that they're "privileged".
Most movies will always have more of "X" than "Y" in a leading role and there will always be more of "X" than "Y" in politics etc. it's how statistics work. It can be for any number of factors combined with a healthy dose of luck of the draw. But again, your complaints that there is a lack of the same number of millionaires based on whatever trait demonstrate that you want equal outcome; you keep downplaying that women, some of the highest paid in their craft, occupy traditionally macho roles in most original IP (let's not forget those all-girl remakes we're seeing now) over the last 15 years because this fact flies in the face of your ideology. You need to ask yourself if you would also be outraged, based on these statistics, if the numbers were flipped and more women than men were in most leading roles. If not, you need to rethink your position because accepting the inverse is hypocrisy while accepting only a 50/50 split is communism.
You also bring up crimes against blacks, but conveniently ignore that despite making up just 13% of the US population, they account for a disproportionate amount of violent crime, mostly against each other. This stems from high poverty rates, single-parent families, etc among the black community.
I'm sorry David, but you're living a Marxist lie; there is nothing mandated in "the system/state/etc." to keep people without a penis or without excessively light skin tones down; there is a free market and unfortunately, within that market, some bigots will wind up in positions power. But statistics in the free market can never be equal, especially not when arbitrary characteristics used to categorize people are not found in anywhere near equal numbers to begin with. As such, not enough black presidents or rich black actors or not enough (by whose authority?) women in leading roles is NOT evidence of the system being rigged against these people in a society where women can work any job a man can and it is illegal to pay based on sex.
At my last job, I was the only guy who worked there and my boss a muslim woman; job before that I worked with sudanese guys who didn't even know how old they were and could barely speak english, but it didn't stop them from getting hired and moving up the ranks provided they were good employees. It's
not in my best interest to keep these people down and there is no shadowy cabal of white guys meeting every month to plan how can keep this system going.
How terrible it must be to live your life blaming other "groups" of people for when you didn't get that job, didn't get picked to answer a question in class, didn't get the role in the movie, etc.
