Top 10 Non-White Actors Who Played White Roles (and Why this Needs to Stop)

Not too long ago on Toptenz, we hosted a list of similarly sensitive subject matter. The author didn’t mention how the representation of white people, especially in modern films, tends to be stereotypical and negative in many ways too.

In fact, white actors seem to have a monopoly on roles as racists, sadistic freaks, pedophiles, serial killers, manic-depressive suicidal outcasts, rapists, and greedy corrupt politicians. Yet, no one ever complains about this cinematic anti-white racism. This is also the case when entertainers of color portray white characters, or even worse, white historical figures. However, instead of getting any criticisms for the historical, racial, and cultural harassment in the aforementioned cases, we have to celebrate “diversity” at any cost. Here are ten such cases….READ MORE

11 STEREOTYPICAL FILM CHARACTERS THAT HAVE BECOME BORING

THE BAD RUSSIAN

The thought of a new Cold War between the US and Russia and a possible revival of this ridiculously stereotypical character in films makes me sick to my stomach, literally.

Seriously, no more crooked Russian officials (A Good Day to Die Hard), merciless Russian gangsters (Eastern Promises), inhumane ex-KGB agents (The Avengers) and, of course, cold-hearted robotic boxers (Ivan Drago in Rocky IV), which in reality were nothing but the result of the blatant political propaganda of the West. Once communism collapsed and all those former Soviets finally became professional boxers, they soon started dominating the heavyweight division with ease, but at the same time they have shown incredible class, sportsmanship, and intelligence while doing so, when the specific sport was previously (in their absence) dominated by “civilized” Western boxers who were biting ears and used every racial and homophobic slur there is in the dictionary….

A Winter’s Mourning

A masterpiece written from my editor and good friend, the one and only Dominick Montalto. If any of you guys and gals who’re reading this are looking for an (awesome) editor, you know who to contact now.

I never slept with you in life, but I sleep with you in death. Every winter for the last decade, from the first days of the New Year, when daylight suffocates in the stranglehold of early darkness to the late days of March, passing vigil on the day of your death and the day of your birth, I seem buried beneath the memory of you, the way a country town lies dormant, nay paralyzed, beneath the fallout of Nature’s own version of nuclear winter.

For three months each year I sleep with your ghost, my restless heart decaying in the silent knowledge that I still feel you after all these years; when you seem to have unchained all the others, you seem unable to give up the ghost with me, at least not in the card catalogue of my memory….READ MORE

11 BRITISH BANDS THAT CHANGED MUSIC HISTORY

The industrial Revolution began there and it also happens to be the motherland of the most famous queen and sport (soccer as the Yanks call it) around the world. It has been the donator of the most spoken language of the modern world and the “factory” of sexy blond girls with cool accents.
It used to be a great empire before it became the 51st state of the United States (you know what I mean), has constant rainy weather, and also happens to be the birthplace of the coolest action movie star in the world, Jason Statham. However, all these things wouldn’t mean much to us if it hadn’t given the world so many great music bands during the twentieth century. We are of course referring to the UK and today we’re honoring the country that managed to invade every house around the world in the most peaceful way—its music…. READ MORE
