They didn’t hire Kelly Marie Tran just because she was Asian. It was because she fit the part that Rian had written.
“Holy shit Empire sucks! It was trying to be too PC with a black character after the first one had only whites! What is this PC bullshit!”
“They only hired Caroline Blakiston to play Mon Mothma because she was a woman! Why do they keep hiring these women when there are plenty of men that could have done a better job?”
Just because someone in a movie isn’t white doesn’t mean that they were hired specifically because they weren’t white! Just because someone is a woman doesn’t mean that they were hired because they’re a woman!
