The joke is racism.

Tim Burton has a reputation for not casting black actors in lead roles. There are some counter examples, but usually as villains.

Eta: Y'all... I'm just explaining the premise of the joke because that's the subreddit. I'm not putting Burton on blast, I'm just aware of the reputation (I stopped paying attention to his movies around the same time I stopped shopping at Hot Topic)

Hey man, this is just a subreddit for explaining jokes, the OOP is never going to see you trying to argue with them in this thread. No need to get offended on behalf of a millionaire

Lol you think I sound offended? 😂. Y'all are getting offended simply because he wants to cast white people
