You are a man out of your own time, DogL! Indeed, it DOES go both ways, but in the de rigueur Identitarian ideology of our times, only Westerners are judged to be “bad” for such views; others are lauded for their beliefs that their culture is important or even “superior”.
I’m not sure why the writer has, as an underlying assumption, the idea that Hollywood (essentially a collection of corporations in the business of making money) is responsible for being “inclusive” of any type of group, culture, race, etc. Does the plethora of mafia movies mean that Hollywood is racist against Italians? After all, they have historically been presented as criminals, murderers, etc. rather than as full-spectrum individuals. She also seems unaware of films like Sherman Alexie’s “Smoke Signals” (1998) which was moderately successful (especially for a small budget film), “Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee”, and “Hostiles”, among others.
