How is it possible that all the writers, producers, directors and actors in this movie are really this obtuse? Did they did not notice that every single person in the cast of a movie called "Equity" is white? Do they really believe that white people live in a bubble unconnected to any black or brown people? Do they believe that feminism is not necessarily anti-racist? Do they know enough about feminism to even answer that question? One thing this movie does demonstrate is the limitations on one's worldview and creative capacity caused by white privilege. An utter bore.… Expand
