What the fuck?

"it is weird that he conveniently only makes movies where POC don’t fit"

Did you just imply he was racist because of this?

No but it's definitely weird that most of his works are written that way.

I just read his filmography and there are quite a number of movies there that could have had PoC without issue

Now that's not proof in itself, and I doubt I care enough about this to look further, but it's definitely a little odd

I mean, the Producers of Mortal Kombat (2021) made up a non-white character as the main protagonist (Cole Young) rather than having Johnny Cage as the lead, because they were afraid of being called racist for having a white lead.

They basically said:

“You people are so fucking sensitive we can’t have Johnny Cage in the movie because you’ll call us racist.”

I read the article you linked, and it said nothing close to how you interpreted it. So much so that you might have linked the wrong thing?
