I asked it to go back to year 2000..              AA>Here are five films (2000-present) whose **credited speaking        >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..              ---        * SLMR Rob * I am Dyslexia of Borg.
