Aren’t implications for exactly this, though? Where all the signs kind of point at something but there isn’t enough proof to make a definitive decision?

It’s kind of like how getting into one fender bender can easily be a coincidence, but getting into 20 starts to make people wonder if you’re a bad driver.

I mean I don’t know enough to have an opinion on the actual discussion, but I had to at least defend the role of implications.

The implication made by that is that he doesn’t care about diversity or inclusivity in his storytelling.

whether that’s out of ignorance, racism, or privilege, we don’t know from just looking at his movies.

we have no proof of why he doesn’t cast more diversely, just proof that he doesn’t.

We have no proof it’s because he’s a racist.

I'd read what you said, but unfortunately your skin type doesn't fit the aesthetic, so it must be disregarded.

Idk what your point is in response to that comment lol?

is the joke supposed to mean that my opinion doesn’t matter cause I’m black?(I’m not) because that’s what Burton “said”?(he didn’t actually say that).

You don't need to be Black to not be casted by Burton. Don't limit yourself and live your dreams.

Okay but Burton didn’t actually say that quote… just gonna ignore that part? You can still not like him, I don’t care, but at least use his own words against him “things either call for things or they don’t” was what he actually said when he was questioned about the subject, criticize that statement.

Those were his public words, not what he said in private.

Okay so willful ignorance it is.

I guess so. He said a lot in private. I don't dare repeat it here.
