but I try not to give money to movies that whitewash. x_x
Yes. Warm Bodies isn't the first and won't be the last movie to white wash characters but I'd like to discourage the practice through my spending power. Even though Red makes a good case for the movie and I really, really enjoy positive female interactions and awesome heroines, in the back of my head I'm going to be sitting there thinking: "They should have cast a brown girl, they should have cast a brown girl." Hollywood needs to realise that I can find good films or televisions shows that have strong female characters AND is inclusive to racial/ethnic minorities because they're the ones I'm going to really enjoy and they're the ones I'm going to spend my money on.
