Tell China to stop showing US films then. Will be no need to pander to them if that happens.

They have a ride at Universal Studios theme park based on the film. It's short but I liked it. Amazing what they're doing with the 3D idea on all of these rides. Pretty cool.

The Great Wall looks cool except for why is Matt Damon in it?! Hollywood meme: You have to have a white hero. The same for The Last Samurai and countless other movies including westerns that focused on Indian tribes. Somehow you have to weave a white hero in there and cast it accordingly. White hero saves the day. White American audiences want to see a recognizable white hero even if the premise is preposterous.

For sure there are a few black actor led movies, but the phenomena described by Plainsman holds true I reckon.

The US as a whole is also 64% white and 13% black so maybe it's much ado about nothing.

Hollywood is BASED on discrimination. The only (accepted) industry that can call for hiring "hot, white, blonde, mid20s, willing to work topless" and have hundreds to pick from without getting sued.
