...as Spike Lee said, really...more movie decisions should be made ‘around that table’ which would include black actors more and offer more diversity ...not the parts that would require a specific skin colour, but those roles where skin colour is irrelevant to the character..(as skin colour is irrelevant to character....)...which is quite a substantial amount movies, I would think...the world around us is a blend of many different skin colour tones and many stories in movies are based on the world around us in the Western world...so movies should reflect that in their ratio in selecting actors for parts...

...hmmmm, maybe the actual ratio of black actors is very small in comparison...that might be a thing as well, I guess...but if that’s so, if it was a say...90 per cent white actor to 10 per cent black, for instance...?...then the only way to balance that ratio more would be to consider diversity more, I would think...and it should be balanced more as that represents ‘realness’...in those movie stories where skin colour for a character is irrelevant, as I said...
