00:00 be fair, if you cast the same three people in every single movie of yours,
00:03 it's kind of hard to find diversity. Director Tim Burton is getting a lot of
00:06 flack for the way he addressed an interview question on Thursday.
00:10 "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children." While promoting Miss Peregrine's Home for
00:17 Peculiar Children, one interviewer asked him why in his 36 movies they all focus
00:22 on white characters. Here's his quote. "I remember back when I was a child watching
00:26 The Brady Bunch and they started to get all politically correct, like, 'Okay, let's
00:30 have an Asian child and a black.'" Oh, already bad. "I used to get more offended by
00:35 that than just, 'I grew up watching blaxploitation movies, right?' And I said,
00:39 'That's great.' I didn't go like, 'Okay, there should be more white people in
00:42 these movies.'" Many people online feel like his response was dismissive. Token
00:47 Black Chick said, "To know someone weird like him who made beautiful weird things
00:51 for a weird kid like me thought people like me were too weird to include." You
00:55 said weird a lot. Softboi said, "Wow, never thought that Tim Burton would turn out
00:59 to be such a huge fucking disappointment. That guy's movies were my childhood."
01:03 Still, many people think that it's not Tim Burton's responsibility to end racism,
01:07 but he could try. He could give it a whirl. Pepe the Frog said, "Oh look, people are
01:12 upset that Tim Burton doesn't forcibly insert racial stereotypes into his film
01:16 just to pander to millennials." Whoa. No one said insert racial stereotypes.
01:21 Shelby Farrow said, "The whitest thing you can do is be surprised that Tim
01:25 Burton's not championing diversity." For more trends like this, go to whatstrending.com.
