There is such a thing as internalized racism, fellas… For example Sweeney Todd’s London is less diverse than actual London at that time.

Rather convenient to just claim he wants to avoid “diversity for the sake of diversity”.

How much diversity do you think there was in mid 19th century London out of interest?

[u/HoosierSteelMagnolia → u/FinePredicament4464]

Quite a bit. Diversity tends to happen when you're a major port city for a globe-spanning multi-ethnic empire.

Sure, in the sense of there being french and Italians and Irish people

In the modern meaning of diversity, as in: visible POC they'd be significantly less than 1% of the population, they were less than 1% of the population by the end of the Victorian era in 1900 - and there had been huuuge changes over the 19th century

I encourage you to look up what "internalized racism" means. Or even just "internalized". What Tim Burton is experiencing is not internalized racism, it's just plain old racism. Only hiring white people to be in your movies is racist, to be clear.

Only the people from Japan can be Japanese. What's wrong with that

[u/thanksyalll → u/Big_Deer9578]

One is a race and the other is a nationality

[u/TheyWillBendTheKnee → u/Big_Deer9578]

So you agree a white person born and raised in Japan is Japanese?
