This is a tremendously complex topic, but culture, government, etc. have momentum. I explained above one reason this is true of franchise filmmaking. We can’t just say “everyone’s equal now,” and that becomes true. It takes a lot of work.I also don’t discredit the massive historical disparity, I just think it’s odd that everyone wants equality, but only in certain situations.
There are also a lot of people eager to use the idea of being “colorblind” to perpetuate discrimination. Setting those bad faith individuals aside, even the best of us aren’t always very good at recognizing our own biases and prejudices. That’s just being human. Again, simply declaring that discrimination is over doesn’t make it so.
