This just in: a top Hollywood director said that he does not see himself casting an actor of a certain race as the lead in one of his films.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, fresh off the box-office success of the horror movie "Us," director Jordan Peele said he does not see himself casting a "white dude" as the lead in one of his future films.
"I don’t see myself casting a white dude as the lead in my movie," Peele said during an appearance at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Hollywood. "Not that I don't like white dudes. But I've seen that movie."
THR reports that Peele's comments "drew loud applause and shouts of agreement."
The "Get Out" director characterized his stance as a sort of renaissance for representation in Hollywood...

“Get Out”
Correct. Do.
I want to personally thank this director for freeing up all my time that I won’t spend on his movies.
Who?
I don’t see myself going to any of your films, then.
I think he’s half white.
I don’t see myself going to a movie directed by or starring a black man or woman.
That sword cuts two ways.
That attitude should be great for audience appeal and production underwriter return on investment. But he is in the left wing echo chamber, so don’t expect any change in his perspective soon. These types can only be punished by having their films do poorly at the box office over and over again.
Jordan Peele is a proud bigot.
Why does this kind of anti-white discrimination continue to happen? The simple answer is there is never a price to be paid for being anti-white, especially being anti-white male.
It’s rather chic to be anti-white these days. This will end badly if we ever get the courage to push back.
I’d be more worried if I’d ever spent so much as a dime on any of his films. I haven’t yet, and looks like I will never have any reason to.
Thanks, Jordan, you just saved me time and money.
Like Heimdall, a Nordic God, being a British Negro?

"Get Out" is a very good movie. I'm looking forward to seeing "Us" next.
Yes, like that.
Reminds me of how I want to someday make a movie about MLK, Jr. and Malcolm X going on a rollicking, fun-filled adventure together drinking and driving their way across the Deep South.
And with Ann Coulter and Katherine Timpf in the lead roles!
“Not that I don’t like white dudes. But I’ve seen that movie.”
Dropped the “Not that” and he is probably telling the truth.
I’d watch that!
I don’t see myself going to a movie produced by an industry which promotes people who hate me.
The Japanese love Americans so I’ll watch their shows instead.
