Danny chats with filmmaker Lexi Alexander about what it’s like being Palestinian-American in the industry at this moment. They talk about Hollywood’s relationship with marginalized groups over the past decade, the space Arabs occupy in American films, how U.S. imperialism plays into globally consumed American entertainment, and more.
Omg upper lass liberal racial essentialism drowning out the genocide in Palestine. All POC think the samething? All black people support Palestine? What world does Lexi live in?
Die Hard managed to have an (East) German baddy but he was still played by an Englishman. This maybe says more about Hollywood perceptions of the English.

Great convo about whiteness in Hollywood and very interesting to see how Lexi frames this from that perspective. Thanks.
