[QUOTE]Originally posted by Thoughtchopper: [QB] Hollywood isn't just racist. They assume most of America (rightly or wrongly) is racist. This is particularly amusing when you consider that the people who are most endeared with Ender's Game are not redneck beer guzzlers who wish the KKK was still a force to be feared...In my experience that sort of people don't read much, and if they do, it ain't science fiction. If it's ONLY a bunch of white kids in the movie Ender's Game will lose a good deal of it's punch for me...it's supposed to be a true planetary effort. Besides, why would Hollywood be worried that there are black and asian kids in the movie? The hero is still a white kid, for christ's sake. There's still that comfort zone for your racist masses. Shit, if I were the director, I'd cast a black kid as Ender Wiggin just to piss those fuckers off, and THEN watch in glee as the movie STILL pulls in two hundred million. The fact that Ender is white has nothing to do with the story. He could be from anywhere (anywhere that's fairly affluent, at least, as to better contrast him against Bean) and the story would play the same. OSC has had one hell of a time getting this movie made...which frankly sucks. It should be a great movie barring any major studio intervention. Uh-oh. [/QB][/QUOTE]
