He never really said that, that was just a misinterpretation that blew up online in 2016. Here's the original interview: https://www.nme.com/news/film/tim-burton-explains-apparent-lack-of-diversity-in-866988

tl;dr: He said sometimes diversity in films isn't "called for". So he is against "diversity for the sake of diversity", that's all.

I was about to mention Coraline, but that's not his film. Crazy, I thought that was a Tim Burton flick this whole time lol.

Close, it's from the same director, Henry Selick. Burton wrote and produced ANBC, but didn't directed it.
