If Voldemort's mother had an abortion, Harry wouldn't need to stop him.
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

If you look at the actual IMDB page you'll see the person who made that picture has been extremely seelctive with their examples and the cast is actually quite diverse.  For example, it's left out that there are two half-Indian actors playing major Hebrew Characters and then there's this guy who is playing Moses's General:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3350027/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t25

The main characters are white yes, but that's a Hollywood-wide problem you can't really pick on this one individual movie for that.  Plus, the top two billed actors are both extremely famous and popular and were probably cast as much for their ability to draw in audiences as anything else.  We can debate the possibly institutionalised racist reasons why there are more big name white actors who can draw in audiences because of their big-nameness but that's kind of getting into a slightly different argument.

Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Moses is being played by a white man.

Ironbite-any argument you have for this movie is instantly negated.

I'm not as upset about white Moses as I am about white Moses not being an elderly man with flowing gray hair and a long beard.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.
