White people are just the worst isn't it? Look at Sonic Youth, 4 boring whities making an LP called the whitey album. Where are the racial quota police when you need them? Best not mention their whiter than a can of dulux paint music videos.

You’ve got me muted, I know, but I don’t necessarily think something like a band’s makeup is comparable to a director’s entire filmography in this respect.
A band forms, and usually that’s about it. Maybe a new/replacement member here and there over a decade or so, but normally it’s one and done, I’d say.
David Lynch made movies with casts of 30, 40, 50+ people for damn near 50 years. It is a bit strange that, throughout that half-century, there were next to no people of color represented. I think it’s a valid thing to note when considering his work as a whole.
That said, I really like David Lynch, and while I’m too old to stomach that kind of discomfort viewing much anymore, I do respect him and I think his best films are some of the best films of all time.
