Perhaps supply and demand. Nothing controversial about it.

I like James Dean, too bad there are no actors like him anymore.

Most of Hollywood's consumers are White.

Maybe because the best actors happen to be white?

Yes.

People want to go to a movie for entertainment, not to make a statement.

Once an actor can no longer convince you they are the character but are instead a political statement, people often stop watching them.

Take Matt Damon. A decent actor. Then his politics became bigger than his portrayal of the characters he played.

No desire to watch the latest Bourne movie.

So logically I would assume that I would see less White actors and more non-White actors (Blacks, Asians) but that's not the case in Hollywood.

Also if they are pro-Islam, I would assume that we would see many Muslim characters and women wearing hijabs in movies but we barely ever see that.

Top actors in Hollywood are still heavily White.

Why is it like this? Sounds very illogical. Why are they doing the opposite of what they want in Hollywood?
Does anti-white = pro - islam?

All I have seen is conservatives skipping over the answers. People have been giving the answers already to most of these questions. One African Americans, Asians etc. all make up a whopping 37% of the population and if you include white Hispanics (Blond/Brunette Mexicans and Most Cubans etc.) that number is more like 33% or less. Also take in mind that almost all Immigrant parents, many Hispanics and AAs will slap their children if they didn't answer Doctor or Lawyer for a question what do you want to be when you grow up etc. This all leads to you ending up with around 15% or less of all people into artsy stuff like Music and Acting being non-white. This is why movies are mostly white, also arguably every movie Morgan Freeman and Samuel L. Jackson have been in has been great. Another thing is movies usually portray upper middle class people and the average burb or wealthy city neighborhood is close to 80% or more white. Only in states like Texas and California does the numbers for average wealthy/ middle class suburbanite dip under 70% white. It is even alhard to find Suburbs that are 90% white in Houston on and Texas as a whole.
