Racist tw@s

Ridiculous really isn’t it.

(All I can think though - Crystal from Bad Girls is in a Hollywood blockbuster!? :joker: )

And nothing can be done about it

This has been going on for years - they also are known to significantly “lighten” the skin tone of mixed race characters on posters to make it more “tan” than anything resembling black.

However it’s hardly surprising, given that darker-skinned Chinese people often bleach their own skin to be lighter. Darker skin in China (and a lot of East Asia overall) is thought of as “common/lower class” and using makeup or cosmetic procedures to “hide” it is quite common.

Will BLM protest?

Well they would not Fly to China
but will go on USA TV news.

so?

never heard of that actress myself


at least they got all of the main cast on the poster, really doubt a unknown actress like she is would really also have a huge role in this film

The original Dune was rubbish and I've heard that this one is too.

Given that the black population in China is so tiny that it’s almost non-existent, it seems unlikely.

They can do it here, they did for George Floyd. They can take their anger out on our statues again.

I meant here or maybe the US? as we know BLM protests aren't contained within countries :umm2:

Precisely, I think TS knew that as well

Sure Nicky
that is not the Point

The China Nation hates blacks
so the removed her from their national poster.


If she is on all other nations posters
why remove her
thats due to China hating Black Folks.


Sign Of The Times.

The First is special.


This is a fair effort

Wow that's ****ing gross, they shouldn't be allowed show the film over there if they're going to do things like that

Is anyone surprised?

Hollywood taking the knee to China and dumbing down movies to appease that market is bad enough, how long do you give it before they stop actually casting black people?

fair enough

Yes China owns Taiwan (soon they are to invade and take it over)

So Cena was ordered to say sorry.

This is what I've never understood

If they're so against diversity then they might aswell not show the movie atall , they mock anyone with darker skin.

There's people over there lightening and bleaching their skin , it's crazy .

Does anyone remember this disgusting advert that circled the internet a few years ago .

Actually unbelievable...

Never seen this before

Typical of China

Oh it was a big thing a few years back, mainly on international news and people on YouTube reacted to it. I never saw it mentioned on UK mainstream though.

But I don't think anything will ever be done ,as the attitudes are so backwards and ignorant.

And as mentioned ... China has a very small population of black people ,or anyone with darker skin for that matter . Their slogans are stuck in 19th century of 'white and fair ' being somehow better and healthier looking :bored: .

People have actually bleached their skin to get jobs, it's insane and unhealthy.

IIRC they also did a different Star Wars poster for China, not removing Fin but swapping him from a large place at the front, to one of the characters hidden towards the back.

They tried to explain away the reasoning but it's fairly evident they were worried about "scaring away" Chinese cinemagoers.
