From NME:
BBC presenter Jeremy Vine has come under fire from viewers of The One Show after he called the cast of Marvel‘s latest film Black Panther “overwhelmingly black”…
When stars Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) and Danai Gurira (Okoye) appeared on The One Show to discuss the film yesterday (February 9), Jeremy Vine said: “Chadwick, it is a remarkable film, it’s very different the film that you’re both in, because you go in the cinema and it is overwhelmingly a black cast.”…
On Twitter, Vine’s wording was labelled “strange and uncomfortable”. The man himself was called a “typical middle-aged white male” by one user, while another remarked: “no one called Avengers: Age of Ultron ‘overwhelmingly white’”, adding that the moment was “a stark example of racism being solidly entrenched”.
