Spielberg should do the right thing and digitally add black people into the movies.

As long as they give them walkie talkies too.

Were there any Polynesians in Star Wars? Is George Lucas racist?

There are black people on the ship (obviously), and I'm pretty sure there are some extras in the mining scenes in Raiders.
Not sure why it matters, though. None of them are really in settings (Nazi-controlled territory and India) where you'd expect to see many blacks.

They've got Chinese, Indians etc. I don't see it as a big deal.
They don't make black Terminators because it would make it that much harder for the Terminator to do his job. Imagine a black Terminator going back in time to 90s LA... he'd be getting pulled over by every police officer in the city. The machines are smarter than this, they know of our culture's prejudices.

Considering the depictions of Indians and arguably middle-eastern people in the series, do you REALLY want black people?

According to The Jetsons there's no blacks in the future.

OP, how can you forget the captain of the Bantu Wind in Raiders?
Mr. Jones... Your appearance is exactly the way I imagined. *smug*

They wanted them to infiltrate compounds filled with paranoid gun-toting whites without getting shot at a distance, though.

bitch I'm taking calls.
While we are on the topic of bad minority representation, imo Jar Jar Binks was way worse than Short Round but Short Round was still pretty bad.
Jar Jar Binks man...that shit doesn't scrub off.

lol yep
Haha good call. That's why they send machines back in time to buy guns - machines that look like upstanding citizens :

Good answer.
My god, the laser on the pistol is nearly as big as the pistol itself.
Did Lucas write for The Walking Dead?
But... how?
That's how you can tell if it's a good laser

bitch I'm taking calls.
Why does a cyborg with advanced targeting interface need a laser sight anyway?
There are indeed only three IJ movies. Good call.
Don't want to raise any suspicion

Can't argue with that.
Yes, there's an entire boat crew in Raider's. Also keep in mind that these movies are generally set in the Middle East, Europe, China and India. Not a whole lot of black people in those places during that time frame.
O.J Simpson was meant to be the original terminator

And replace all the firearms with walky-talkies.

Hopefully they add in practical black people, I CAN'T STAND CGI black people.
There are tons of movies with computer generated black people, but most people have no idea those police officers or hospital workers were CGI, because they're seamlessly blended with white actors. But there are few cases when they stick out (those afros!) and now CGI sucks and practial black people are the bomb. Nonsense. Just look at how Spielberg used CGI in Amistad and you'll realize how great CGI in the hands of the right director.
Write in the Star Wars OT sense or in the NT sense? Either way I wouldn't know. I haven't followed Walking Dead since they left that Hive lab from the Resident Evil movie.

But Practical black people are so much more charming because they're actually there. The irl lighting interacts with them flawlessly, and the actors have more fun looking at them. They love the artistry!
They can also respond to practical black people's dehumanizing stares even quicker than they can to black CG stares.
Also, It takes a lot more physical work for a puppeteer to work a black puppet than for an animator to press a button and move a CG black person.
Alas, film making has lost all of it's humanity.

The hell does that mean? He treks practically all over the globe... but that doesn't count because they're locals?
Laughed. Well played.
