Subj : I watched a movie the oth To : AUGUST ABOLINS From : Rob Mccart Date : Wed Sep 03 2025 08:16:24 RM> Funny thing.. I watched a movie the other night, not too RM> old (2022) and there was something about it that had me so RM> amazed that I was telling others about it.. RM> The entire cast of the movie with the exception of one RM> minor chinese character were all white and heterosexual. RM> There's probably a message in there somewhere that that RM> struck me as totally amazing.. AA>And which film was that? It was called Love in Bloom.. Made in Australia, which may be how they got away with that 'limited' cast.. AA>I haven't seen many recent films, but I'm sure all-white and >hetro is not unusual. I don't go to theaters so I generally see slightly older films or made for TV films rather than the current big movies. But, that said, every show and movie I've seen made in the past 10 years or so there are always gay or trans major characters in the cast plus a good collection of non-white actors as well. I have nothing against that, but I'm not sure about showing more of things than you'd see in real life, unless the movie/show was specifically about that group, which is also fine IMHO. If people don't want to watch it they won't.. Also, my niece is a kindergarten teacher and she says that LGBQ+ sex is being taught to kids as young as 5 and 6 years old, where they would never teach them about 'straight' sex at that age. On the racial side of things, I can certainly see having books that show a sampling of all people but get this one.. For the last few years all books in the school library with ANY white people in them was removed. NO white people allowed. Fortunately, as of last year, the principal of that school was replaced/retired/? and the new one got rid of that policy. --- * SLMR Rob * May wolves run at your side and not at your heels! * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
