‘Oppenheimer’: Christopher Nolan Accused of Casting Only White Actors

It was bound to happen.

A few tweets went viral today and kickstarted a conversation about Christopher Nolan’s all-white casting of actors for “Oppenheimer.”

I even read a post somewhere saying “Someone should investigate where this cast was on January 6th, 2021.” Funny. Of course, there’s no denying that the cast Nolan has assembled here is uber-milky, but it’s also very important to pinpoint the time and place the story he’s telling is set in.

You are free to complain about the lack of diversity in Nolan's past films, but “Oppenheimer” is the worst possible example to point out. Nolan’s film is focused on a man who worked with a bunch of scientists, all of which were old white men, what the hell can you do?
