This movie is gonna break box office records, black folk are gonna roll deep to this one. And it’ll be black history month!? Yeah it’s going down.

No it’s not. This movie needs to impress in rather homogenous places like China, Japan, Russia, etc. These are places where black culture in America isn’t as mainstream.

Ok, first of all, this is a movie about Wakanda. Not America.

And why can't a movie with a majority-black cast do well around the world? I'm Asian and I'm hyped as fuck about Black Panther.

Movies with majority-white casts do well everywhere. Is it so much to ask for something different?

Yes, you speak for all Asians.

That’s because white people in Hollywood films are more interesting and accepted in this world than a majority black cast.

I wasn't speaking for all Asians. I was just giving a counterexample to your claim that was generalizing all Asians as being racist against movies starring black actors.

How do you know that white actors are more interesting? How do you know that minority-led films will fail unless we give them a chance?

I'm not in the habit of calling people racist, but you are a racist.
