Well it took place in Washington, there are like 3 black people there

The movies sucked ass though? Like critically and culturally they were hated, half the people who loved these movies admit they were garbage?
Grayson Williams
Criticizing a woman is "sexist".
Jonathan King
Is that a man

Of course.

>Meyer’s series of four books acknowledges that a teenager’s first love feels like life or death. It approaches adolescent longing with the appropriate drama and solemnity. The vampires and prophecies and multiple murder attempts serve to corroborate what Bella and Edward knew from the very first moment they saw each other—that they were special, fated to be, extraordinary and probably immortal. Who hasn’t felt that way at 17?
Yeah, who hasn't felt that way at 17?

>In her limited time with the author, however, the director expressed “that I wanted a lot more of the cast to be diverse. But Meyer, who was raised Mormon in Phoenix, Arizona, “had not really written it that way,” Hardwicke says. “So she probably just didn’t see the world that way. And I was like oh my God, I want the vampires, I want them all—Alice, I wanted her to be Japanese!
>Finally, Meyer came around to the idea of Kenyan American actor Edi Gathegi playing Laurent, “one of the scary antagonistic vampires,” Hardwicke recalls, laughing. “The only reason that came through was he was described as having olive skin. And I said, there are black olives out there!
Had no idea Meyer was this based

>race doesnt matter! we're all the same!
>we really need to make sure we cast nonwhites in as many of the major roles, even ones for characters already established as white!
what did the director and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg mean by this?
Logan Ramirez

And I said, there are black olives out there! Then she was open to the students in Bella’s peer group being other ethnicities, so we got Christian Serratos and Justin Chon, so we were able to open it up a little bit.”
OLIVE MEANS BLACK
KENYAN MORMON.
Zachary Long
It actually sounds like Meyer made a sensible choice?
Girls that choose “book nerd” as a personality are always homely white girls. The entire series is nothing but wish fulfillment for femcels
Andrew Collins
Just proves that diversity = Black to these folks.
James Thompson
Sorry you never had young love and adventure user. What a sad worthless life

>lack of diversity
>native american as one of the leads
so diversity literally just means niggers?
Cooper Gray
Das rasis.
Diverse to me means crocodiles.
Brody Cooper
Not him, but I did, and it just made me resent women and not able to feel love towards them anymore

>can we cast black people as your characters?
>did it say they were black in the book?

italians confirmed niggers
Aaron Rodriguez
Are you a femcel?
Lucas Hall
Stephenie Meyers is a Mormon, isn't she? Oldschool thought among Mormons is that blacks have black skin because they're cursed by God for being wicked or whatever, isn't it?
Parker Stewart
I went to Washington, I’m over the border in leaf land. All I saw were niggers in Seattle.
Gavin Watson
Pretty sure that's universal thinking, nothing specific to mormons.
Lincoln Allen
shes 100% right, vampires are a purely European cultural phenomenon
Putting random niggers in the movies and playing rap music would have ruined all of them
Alexander Hernandez
Seattle and Portland are loaded with niggers. Leave the city and you'll rarely see one.
That's true anywhere in the north, desu.
Ryan Moore
But think of the cinematography
Matthew Young
More like just responding to white demand/love of niggers
Blake Myers
There are 2 people named Zimmerman that are famous (Arthur Zimmerman and George Zimmerman) and neither of them were Jews.
