British black actors go to America to find success because they can't get roles outside 'stereotypes

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

I thought britian was one of those place were they were open to diversity...

and during discrimination rampant in America didnt blacks flock to Europe, now the reverse

That broad was half indian.

and luther was far from the stereotypical black role, in my eyes

That's right, he outsmarted everyone on the whole show. Those kind of roles are rare for black men anywhere.

BTW Luther wasn't simping anybody, he was still married to the woman plus they were still fukking right until she got killed by that corrupt cop, how else was he gonna act?

Also, Alice had dirt on him that she could have used to get him locked up, so he couldn't just turn her in like that anyway.

I watch a lot of British television and don't really see any stereotyping as I would see it as an American, I guess. I don't live there but, from an outside perspective, they all seem pretty culturally homogeneous.

I also think that 'breaking America' is just a thing. A lot of people try to do it.

I've watched British TV and i have to agree with this. I have family in East London, and I've been to the UK three times in my life to visit them. It's just different over there.

Personally, I think American TV is absolutely disgusting which is why I don't watch it anymore. I was going to make a thread about that.

Brazil is a diverse nation too, but their media doesn't reflect that at all. In fact, it's worse over there.

Richard Blackwood could have been the first Idris Elba...

racism is rife in Britain, go live in some parts of Scotland n see for yourself

Blackwood was/is nowhere near as talented as Elba.

 

[Premeditated]

b...b...but all is fair and right in Britain

 

[unit321]

Not surprised.
But, the thing I don't like is that these black British actors are "stealing" acting jobs away from black American actors. That has got to stop. Buy American.

They're just not as blatant with it as they are in America. The nation doesn't necessarily like the diversity despite what they try to portray to the world.

I mean in terms of exposure and being a name brand. He's not as talented as Elba, but his name would have been out there a long time ago if he was marketed the same way Idris was. Of course he would have been crushed once Idris came on the scene.

 

[Brofato]

depends what country in Britain you're talking about.

England not so much because its not as racist as say Scotland or even wales.

Yeah, I was speaking about England mostly.

My nikka Estes da gawd was/is British?

Fact is, if you're really trying to make a bigger impact you need to be here. That's about it. Anyone who says differently is full of shyt.
