Probably too much. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I could go to IMDB and start a list of all the movies that do this.....but I'm too lazy at the moment. Plus the debate isn't important enough for me to go spending that much free time to trying to prove my point.I agree.But just to clarify my point......I wasn't judging equality and fair portrayal on how many times a race is made a bad guy or a good guy. I judge it on how they're characters are written. An accurate non-offensive ethnic portrayal can still be one from a 'bad guy'....so long as its done correctly. So long as the character's reasons from doing his/her evil actions are realistic. However, it is true...along side accurate portrayals, realistic or not....some ethnic groups seek diversity as well. Its not that they hate it when they see someone from their ethnic group being a bad guy. The regular guy from that ethnic group doesn't mind that at all. Its just that they want one playing a good guy every now and then too. That's all. I find this to be one of the most misunderstood complaints. Then usually someone who is having problems empathizing with them comes along and scoffs at the validity of their complaints. You really have to look at it from their point of view. I will give the entertainment industry one positive comment. They are getting better. It is mosty an offensive thing from older films. Mostly the 80's. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> However, I should've clarified my original complaint against them by saying, "although they have been getting better over the years, they still have a ways to go."</blockquote>
