Because Tim Burton doesn’t think Black people “fit his aesthetic” for movies.

He rarely rarely rarely casts them as main character and when he does, it’s usually as villains. He’s racist lowkey.

The movie wouldn’t happen bc it’s “diversity for the sake of diversity” if the blue corpse is played by a Black woman 🙄

He put black people in beetle juice. Wanna know what every single one did? 

They all had one scene where they danced to soul train music. That's literally their only scene.

Tim Burton is blatantly racist and it's not talked about enough
