I guess so, as this article describes. I don't agree with it but will respect it (not that anyone cares what I think, I'm just chatting.)

Regarding oversaturation, at least in us movies it doesn't completely surprise me that there are just more "saturating" white actors on account of the white demographics of the country ( checking, even today around 75% to 71% white https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/RHI125222#RHI125222 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States ) I bet due to underreporting that value is lower

Anyway, apparently I'm not on target, and so be it. Everyone be well

Edit also I didn't downvote you

It is way higher than 75% for lead roles though, like 90%+

Didn't downvote you either, not sure what that is all about. Guess people don't like someone taking time to process new info.
