As I was saying to someone else earlier, if talent was the only thing, I don't think Alex Pettyfer would ever get another movie. But since he's attractive and lean and white and male, he'll still have way more jobs than, say, a curvaceous black woman with way more talent in one finger than he does.

And what you said about white males being the default human being is so true. Everything else is to "accomdate" minorities, but the majority of everything else in this world is solely for rich white males. :/

Ugh, that guy and everyone who agrees with him are utter fail. I swear, he will never know what it's like to be a minority because no matter how hard he worked, he still was treated better solely because he is a white male.

I wish I had something intelligent to add but I will just go with agreeing with everyone that you've said above.

ICON LOVE ♥

I can't wait for his movie to come out. It's going to be awesome seeing a superhero of color.

You're a Shahrukh Khan fan? How did I not know this? ♥

I'm wary but excited at the same time. I am definitely going to go see it though. I need to catch up with his films. I really haven't been as good a fan as I used to be (read: not as obsessive).

I'm sure he just can't wait for the all-white remake of The Color Purple. That, like this, will make perfect sense to him. It is, after all, just a movie about human beings.
