Yeah, just like you speculated about how Chris Cooper was maybe a little racist ("He just gives off a racist vibe") and how Edgar Wright may possibly be a racist and now David Cronenberg is possibly a racist, too.
Jesus Christ.
You really are a child of this century, aren't you, because these days for SJWs like yourself to be whit5b4e, male and gasp! possibly Conservative, is to automatically be suspected of racism.
Can't wait for this era of extreme race consciousness to finally be over.
But I ain't holding my breath. -

Ethnicity is constantly tokenize16d0d by Hollywood; I would rather have one single fleshed-out minority character than a ton of meaningless, poorly-conceived token characters written in purely to make easily-offended idiots happy. If Cronenberg wrote minorities into his films just to appease people, he would cease to be an artist. One can't just skin-swap a character and call it diversity; that's what's wrong with Hollywood.

I don´t think that he is racist. He just does not cast token ethnic characters. But there is nothing in his movies that would make you think he is a racist.
The word racist gets thrown around today rather easily.
but they hung him anyway.
Hanged, Ami. Your father was not a tapestry. -

Yes, obviously. Any director who goes 50 years without casting a single person of color in a lead or supporting role, has clear racial bias (and possibly hatred) towards POCs.
You can add Martin Scorsese to that list also.
