Post 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' diversity issue addressed by David Heyman

Producer David Heyman commented about the fan outcry over the lack of diversity in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in a new set report. Most of the current cast confirmed is Caucasian, with the exception (so far) of Gemma Chan and Carmen Ejogo.




Quote:
David Heyman: “Like all of Jo Rowling’s works, [Fantastic Beasts] is populated with a variety of people and that will be the same in this series over the course of the films. There will be people of various types of ethnicities. In New York in the 1920s, there was a segregation between white and black, the neighborhoods were largely separate, and that is reflected in [the film]. But the wizarding world is a much more open and tolerant society where people of color and different ethnic backgrounds exist harmoniously together. There are people of color filling this world in an organic way.”
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them's first installment, written by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, hits theaters in November 2016.

i guess the first part of the trilogy will be focusing on white America?

honestly it does make sense though, given the mindset and the culture during that time. i will be suspicious however if segregation also permeates American Wizarding culture *eyes FB producers*

*sighs forever at those who complain about diversity*

You do realize that one has to look at a bunch of different factors here, right? Like the time frame, what the culture was like in said time frame, the demographics of the setting during said time frame, etc. If not, then people would complain that your movie is completely not authentic.
