     >casts appear to be entirely white**.   
      
   It's interesting that there are so few of them considering all the   
   movies made every year.   
      
   It's not like I was looking for all white movies, it's just so   
   rare to have all white and all Straight cast members in a movie   
   that the one I mentioned stood out for me.   
      
   Even the all white thing was less the point than the fact that   
   you don't see a TV show or movie anymore without at least a few   
   LGBQ+ people in it, usually in fairly major roles.   
      
   Again, I don't really care if they are in it or not, but the   
   way they are in everything just seems unrealistic to me..   
      
   Somewhat along the lines of these new rules, as you probably   
   know they are about to vote for a new leader of the NDP Party.   
      
   (National Democratic Party - a far left political party here.)   
      
   Apparently they have come up with a new rule.. To be considered   
   to run for party leader you need 500 party member votes..   
   BUT.. If it turns out that more than 50% of those who voted   
   for you are CIS Males, then you won't be accepted.   
      
   A CIS Male is someone who was born male and, as an adult, is   
   still a heterosexual male. So apparently we don't count as   
   much as everyone else...   
      
   At least they didn't just go after white people this time..   
   Thumbs down to ALL CIS males..
