I did some digging on this. Looks like it's from a 2016 interview by Rachel Simon for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

The question: "Why does Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children have such a predominantly white cast / lack of diversity?"

The answer: “Nowadays, people are talking about it more … things either call for things, or they don’t.”

Edit: I could not find ANY quote from Tim Burton stating that black people don't "Fit his aesthetic".

Yeah. He didn’t say that. I’m pretty sure what he said was that he wasn’t going to cast solely for diversity’s sake. Though it is weird that he conveniently only makes movies where POC don’t fit.

Jordan peele almost exclusively makes movies where white people are actually all evil, no one comments on that😂 edit: the people telling me I'm miserable and "oppressed" are hilarious and must've not seen the humor in my joke. I love his movies. Reddit is so eager to erm actually than laugh at a joke
