I remember watching The Incredibles 2 in theater and being struck by how diverse all the crowd shots were. Honestly, it was the least of that movie's myriad issues, but it stands out to me that it... stood out to me.
Really, its telling to look at older media and compare it to its contemporaries to see the obvious shift. The Wallace and Gromit movie, with the Were-Rabbit, had a monoethnic cast. Then the Telltale Games had a single Indian shopkeeper, not too out of place. Then you look at trailers for the new movie that came out last year, and BAM, diversity everywhere! No, YOU'RE the bigot for noticing!

But that's what England actually looks like now.
Telling, ain't it?
