It doesn't "bother" me at all, but it was glaringly distracting. The other post was just to defend Da OldMan as his view is 100% correct. --- End quote --- What does 'glaringly distracting' even mean? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? Explain the difference between 'bothers me' and 'glaringly distracts' me. --- Quote from: Howard_Casto on April 16, 2018, 10:14:46 pm ---There is such a thing as diversity for diversity's sake and it needs to stop. --- End quote --- Why? Trying to write characters that appeal to a larger multi-ethnic audience is bad? Who decides when it makes sense to include what ethnicity and when? So it shouldn't be written that way because it offends your delicate sensibilities about who and what the characters should be? From an economic and mass appeal standpoint it makes perfect sense. You should take a hard look at why it bothers you... oh sorry, 'glaringly distracts' to you so much. There are easy explanations from a story standpoint if you look for them. The characters on the mission represent a wide variety of ethnicities, they're building an idealized futuristic utopian colony, maybe they were specifically looking for racially diverse families to recruit for the mission giving the Robinsons preference. John was in the military, travelled all over the world and in all likelihood interacted with a broad circle of racially diverse people so it would make complete sense that he of all people had a bi-racial kid. For some reason, in your eyes, the Robinson's all have to be white with matching hair or it doesn't work, that's kinda nuts. This isn't about being 'woke' or some social justice warrior, far from it, your comments just strike me as ignorant and particularly closed minded to the very logical inclusion of a diverse cast of characters. |

I think one valuable lesson we have learned is even in the future, alternative fuels suck. |

It was great, I have no problem with that because it made perfect sense in regards to how that film is written and the context of the characters of that world. --- End quote --- That white guy was more out of place in that film than any "random" black person cast in any other... |
